European quotation marks

Are European quotation marks (not smart quotes) available? They look like: << and >>. They don't seem available among special characters, even Unicode.

Why do you mean 'available' ? If you set the keyboard to a language that uses them, you should see them on the keyboard layout. Use
System Preferences --> Language & Text --> Input Sources
to make the OS show a keyboard viewer in the language icon menu in the menu bar.

How can i get the correct text from a string like it show in the original source with the quotation marks in the right place ?

The text is in hebrew so the problem is that sometimes the quotation marks not in the right place.
For example i have this text: תווית
על בגד: ''תן לאישה לכבס. זה תפקידה''
This is the source original text you can see the quotations marks and they are not in the right place and all i did is copy paste.
And this is a screenshot of how this text looks like in the website in the original:
You can see now where the quotations marks should be.
Now this is how i'm using the text in my program:
First of all i'm using a webclient to download the page from the website and i'm also encoding it to windows-1255 since it's in hebrew.
using (var webClient = new WebClient())
webClient.Headers.Add("user-agent", "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.2; .NET CLR 1.0.3705;)");
byte[] myDataBuffer = webClient.DownloadData("http://rotter.net/scoopscache.html");
page = Encoding.GetEncoding("windows-1255").GetString(myDataBuffer);
Then i'm extracting the places i need by reading the html file lines and parsing the right text and it's link.
string loc;
List<string> metas = new List<string>();
List<string> metas1 = new List<string>();
List<string> lockedLinks1 = new List<string>();
string text = "";
string mys = "";
public List<string> LockedThreads(string filename)
lockedThreads = new List<string>();
lockedLinks = new List<string>();
Regex textRegex = new Regex("ToolTip.*?(?=','<)");
string[] fall = File.ReadAllLines(filename);
for (int i = 0; i < fall.Length; i++)
if (fall[i].Contains("http://rotter.net") && fall[i].Contains("locked")||
fall[i].Contains("locked_icon_general") ||
fall[i].Contains("locked_icon_anchor") ||
fall[i].Contains("icon_anchor") ||
fall[i].Contains("locked_icon_fire") ||
fall[i].Contains("locked_icon_sport") ||
fall[i].Contains("locked_icon_camera") ||
fall[i].Contains("locked_icon_movie"))
Regex linkParser = new Regex(@"\b(?:https?://|www\.)\S+\b", RegexOptions.Compiled | RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
foreach (Match m in linkParser.Matches(fall[i + 2]))
if (m.Value.Contains("><b"))
loc = m.Value.Replace("\"><b", string.Empty);
lockedLinks.Add(loc);
string txt = fall[i - 1];
string text = textRegex.Match(txt).Value.Replace("ToolTip','", String.Empty);
if (text.Contains("’"))
text = text.Replace("’", string.Empty);
lockedThreads.Add(text);
Already here on the List lockedThreads you can see the quotation marks not in the right place as in the original:
After i'm parsing the text and links and adding them to the Lists in another class i'm doing a comparison using this Lists:
foreach (List<string> l_branch in ListsExtractions.responsers)
TreeNode l_node = treeView1.Nodes.Add(l_branch[l_branch.Count - 1]);
if (ListsExtractions.lockedThreads.Contains(l_node.Text))
l_node.ImageIndex = 0;
l_node.SelectedImageIndex = 0;
for (int l_count = 0; l_count < l_branch.Count - 1; l_count++)
TreeNode l_subnode = l_node.Nodes.Add(l_branch[l_count]);
if (ListsExtractions.lockedThreads.Contains(l_subnode.Text))
l_subnode.ImageIndex = 0;
l_subnode.SelectedImageIndex = 0;
The problem is in the line:
if (ListsExtractions.lockedThreads.Contains(l_node.Text))
When it's getting to the line with the quotation marks it's never equal.
Now there are more quotation marks.
In general the problem when comparing both text if it's having quotation marks it's not the same.
So i have two options:
1. To fix it somehow so the quotation marks will be the same in both variables when comparing and also the same like in the original as they show in the html page.
2. To remove the quotation marks from both variables.
What should i do ? And how ? I was prefer to use the original quotation marks like in the original since they have a meaning in the place they should be. The question is how can i do it ?
This is example of the block from the html file where the text with the quotation marks is:
<TD ALIGN="RIGHT" VALIGN="TOP"> 9418 </TD></TR><TR BGCOLOR="#eeeeee">
<TD ALIGN="RIGHT" VALIGN="TOP">
<body onmousemove="overhere()">
<a onmouseover="EnterContent('ToolTip','תווית על בגד: ’’תן לאישה לכבס. זה תפקידה’’','כתב: Spook בתאריך: 08.03.15 שעה: 22:11 מחאת טוויטר קמה בעקבות תוויות שוביניסטיות שהדפיסה חברת אופנה באינדונזיה לפיהן תפקיד הכביסה מוטל על האישה. החברה התנצלה אך כנראה רק עשתה רק יותר נזק לע...'); Activate();" onmouseout="deActivate()" href="javascript:void(0)">
<img src="http://rotter.net/forum/Images/new_locked_icon_general.gif" border="0"></a></TD><TD ALIGN="right" VALIGN="TOP" WIDTH="55%">

<a href="http://rotter.net/cgi-bin/forum/dcboard.cgi?az=read_count&om=189696&forum=scoops1">
תווית על בגד: ''תן לאישה לכבס. זה תפקידה''
</a></TD>

Ok, it is unclear on what is happening here.
Are you saying that when the webclient gets the data that it is not honoring the quote characters? Or the processing of the data buffer is causing issues?
This is what I see the of your example text which is trying to be parse out:
<a onmouseover="EnterContent('ToolTip','תווית על בגד: ’’תן לאישה לכבס. זה תפקידה’’','כתב: Spook בתאריך: 08.03.15 שעה: 22:11 מחאת טוויטר קמה בעקבות תוויות שוביניסטיות שהדפיסה חברת אופנה באינדונזיה לפיהן תפקיד הכביסה מוטל על האישה. החברה התנצלה אך כנראה רק עשתה רק יותר נזק לע...'); Activate();">";
It appears to me that the escapes `’` does not have matching `“` anywhere within the tooltip. So it appears that the page properly places left quotes in when processing the page, but the raw html has broken text.
Hence a garbage in, garbage out situation.

How Do I Display Quotation Marks in Dynamic HTML Text

I'm using a dynamic text file that has some Quotation Marks
that need to be displayed with the content on certain words in the
TXT file.
How do i display Quotation Marks inside a Dynamic text field?
Please Advise. As soon as possible.
Thanks

Try this page - it does the job for you:
http://www.dommermuth-1.com/protosite/experiments/encode/index.html
Otherwise search this forum for "Special and characters and
dynamic and text"
You'll see a couple of thread on the topic. You have to
encode the special characters for them to display correctly.

Can I use intelligent quotation marks on my iPhone?

On my Mac I use "intelligent" punctuation, for example intelligent quotation marks. Can I do this on the iPhone too?
Thanks :)

I assume you mean the feature where you press a single quotation mark button and the appropriate version of it appears depending on whether it's left or right of the next character? In which case, no, on iPhone you have to enter each quotation mark with different buttons.

"Excel found unreadable content in" The Problem is text in a clob exported to excel uses - Left single quotation mark -Right double quotation mark.

Here are the ASCII char being used.
145 221 91 10010001 ‘  ‘ Left single quotation mark
146 222 92 10010010 ’  ’ Right single quotation mark
147 223 93 10010011 “  “ Left double quotation mark
148 224 94 10010100 ”  ” Right double quotation mark
149 225 95 10010101 •  • Bullet
150 226 96 10010110 –  – En dash --
The default CHAR NOW is a black diamond with ? in middle in stead of 'Right double quoation mark' and others.
The Text used is copied from documents user's get
so someone is putting in I think what is called ALT ascii. This data has been used for years
some updates where put in the system, I don't know details.
The following error started you click YES and the XLS has alot of data missing not just the CLOB.
Excel found unreadable content in ‘file-name’.
Do you want to recover the contents of this workbook?
If you trust the source of this workbook click yes.
I can copy the text then load it into the a column in a xls.
I am exporting the spreadsheet from TOAD it wasn't updated so
it has to be with the EXCEL. I tried changing the ENCODING in EXCEL but that
didn't work.

I'm not familiar with TOAD, could you please let us know how did you export data from TOAD to Excel?
Based on your description, it should be an encoding problem, have you tried to change the encoding as 'UTF-8' ?

How to remove quotations marks from csv file

Hi
My input file is a .csv file which contains each value in quotation marks
ex: - "123456778","jakob","grade10"
Also each record in the input file contains 333 values .
i am reading these records and using stringtokenizer to fetch value by value for that record .
i want to remove the quotation marks before i put the values back into an output file with .txt extension .
those output files will be bcped later into sybase db.
Should the quotation marks be removed in the java code or is their anyother way to remove the quotation marks from the output file while bcping them .
Thank You

I also suggest if possible, you use tab delimited cvs files rather than comma delimited cvs files.That would be TSV, LOL...
If there are commas inside your data elements, you will not be able to tell if they are part of the data or are delimiters. Tab delimited files avoid this.What if your data contain tabs? Although there's no CSV specification, the common standard practice is to use two double quotes to escape a quote.

Quotation Marks display as boxes

I need to figure out why in some instance quotation marks
display as boxes.
This may also be a ColdFusion question but I'll start here:
I have a site that displays articles from a coldfusion
database. The articles display fine. There is no css or font tag
applied to the text (so basically displaying default fonts).
Now, I gave the page a new name and surrounded the code with
formatting css. All quotation marks display as square box. I
thought it may depend on the font that I chose (Ariel). So I
removed the css style sheet for a moment but the quotation marks
still show as box. Since I have the same code to pull the data,
same browser, same computer, this is puzzling.
Any idea what is causing this?
Thanks.

Are the quotes 'straight' quotes, or 'curly' quotes? Although
both straight
and curly quotes are special characters (" and
“ respectively) a
' " ' (i.e. straight quote) will usually appear as a straight
quote when put
directly in the code, but I have never had curly quotes
appear correctly. I
guess this is because quotes are used within attributes and
so on in regular
HTML.
If this isn't your problem then someone else will answer
better than I
have...
Regards,
Bruce

SSMS 2012:XQuery-doing "Retriving Job Candidates with the query Method" in AdventuresWorks 2012. Unclosed quotation mark after string '//*:Name.First?

Hi all,
From Page 354 of the the Book "Pro T-SQL 2008 Programmer's Guide" written by Michael Coles (published by apress), I copied the following code (Listing 12-9 Retrieving Job Candidates with the query Method):
--Coles12_9.sql // saved in C:/Documemnts/SQL Server Management Studio
-- Coles Listing 12-9 Retrieving Job Candidates with the query Method
-- Doing XQuery and the xml Data Type in AdvantureWorks
-- 17 March 2015 1105 AM
USE AdventureWorks;
GO
SELECT Resume.query
N'//*:Name.First,
//*:Name.Middle,
//*:Name.Last,
//*:Edu.Level
FROM HumanResources.JobCandidate;
I executed this set of Listing 12-9 code in my SQL Server 2012 Management Studio and I got the following error messages:
Msg 105, Level 15, State 1, Line 4
Unclosed quotation mark after the character string '//*:Name.First,
//*:Name.Middle,
//*:Name.Last,

Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 4
Incorrect syntax near '//*:Name.First,
//*:Name.Middle,
//*:Name.Last,
//*:Edu.Level
FROM HumanResources.JobCandidate;
I am not able to figure out why I got the error messages. Please kindly help and advise me how to correct this set of sql codes.
Thanks in advance,
Scott Chang

Hi Scott,
I don't have that book at hand, but your problem is the "Unclosed quotationmark after the character string",as the error message shows. You have to enclose the 'XQUERY' string quotation in the
query().
SELECT jobcandidateid, Resume.query
N'//*:resume,
//*:Name.Middle,
//*:Name.Last,
//*:Edu.Level' --enclose the quotation here
FROM HumanResources.JobCandidate;
For XQUERY learning, here is a good
link.
If you have any question, feel free to let me know.

Using Preview to enter keywords in a PDF shows quotation marks

When I enter keywords in a PDF with Preview and later open the same file with Acrobat and look at the properties, the string of keywords are within quotation marks. If I enter the keywords while in Acrobat there are no quotation marks. If the keywords are in quotation marks in the properties, does this mean that keywords are one long string that will not search well? I'm confused.

Preview is a viewer, rather than an editor. It has basic functions for adding annotations and links, and that's about it.

Quotation marks appearing as left or right arrows, does anyone know what is causing this?

Hi there we are using Indesign 2014, I am not sure if that has anything to do with this or not, but certain paragraphs in a document have a bug, where by when you type in a quotation mark (') a left or right arrow appears. We have found that if we clear the paragraph styling this disappears and the quotation marks work fine again. It is worth noting that these paragraphs did not have any paragraph styles applied to them, but they were pasted in from MS Word. Has anyone else experienced this issue and do you know where it comes from?

Ok thanks for enlightening me. We checked all the language settings on our workstations and they seem to be all set up as English UK and smart quotes are set to be used. I am not sure how to check the language assigned to a paragraph, as I say, there is not paragraph style applied to this text… Can you please let me know how to check this?
The more I think about it, the more I think it is some sort of styling that has come in from MS Word. I thought InDesign was pretty good at stripping out anything like this.

Quotation marks and apostophes reversed

When editing text, I'm getting reversed quotation marks and apostophes if they are added to preexisting test. Quotation mark added to the end of a sentence that was already in the document will be pointed the wrong way. Erasing the last letter and retyping it with the quotation mark will perform correctly.
The same happens when placing an apostophe on preexisting text.
This happens in AppleWorks, TextEdit, and Tex-Edit Plus. This does NOT happen in Pages or InDesign. It only happens on one of my computers.
Any ideas?

Hello
This may be due to a corruption of preferences files dedicated to the named applications.
Try to trash these preferences files.
It may also be due to corruption of some documents but I assumes that if it was specific to only some docs you had wrote this detail.
Some system preferences may be corrupted too but I assumes that if one of them is corrupted, the corruption would strike on every applications on a single computer.

Getting Quotation Marks to look like they were mirrored. In GREP or Regular find and change

Hello,
Is there anyway to make quotation marks come out like this image below.
Right now I have 2 text boxes to make it work, as I cannot get the first double quote to look like a mirrored version of the right double quote ;-(
This is what it needs to look like.
Thanks,

Little bits do not count for as much as great big bits, and it is rule-worship to assume that they do. There is no proportionality in grouping very different sorts of violation together as if they were all in the same league of criminality. Picking up a dime someone has dropped in the street is completely different from breaking into someone's house and stealing a large quantity of money.
You'd have a fit if you found out I was using a logo you designed, without permission, and was making money from publishing it. Suppose I hacked into your system and copied your last completed job and handed it to your client before you could deliver and bill them? Would you be upset if they went ahead and used your work and didn't bother to pay you because, after all, there was no 'property' involved and they have what they need without cost?
Yes, I would regard that as a serious legal offense, and would follow it up with the full rigors of the law. But it is not "theft" in the proper sense of the word, in my opinion, because an idea (design, logo, etc.) is a type rather than a physical token. Its authorship must be protected, its origination acknowledged, monetarily rewarded, and all that, but the idea that it has an "owner" is the product of philosophical and logical confusion.
Human tend to over-extend the concept of ownership to all sorts of things that cannot legitimately be owned, such as other people. Even nowadays, following the abolition of slavery, many people consider themselves the owners of their spouses, children, employees, pets, etc..

Type tool quotation marks display like greater-than symbols

I'm having trouble with getting quotation marks to display correctly, they look like 2 stacked >> symbols. They change slightly depending on what font I'm using, but they all ride at the base of the text. I cannot acheive normal looking curly or staight quotes at all. I have tried switching smart quotes on and off in the preferences, restarting, etc. I've noticed this problem in the past, but I thought it was the font I was using. The same thing happens with Times New Roman. I'm running an up to date version of PSextended CS5, 64bit on win 7 64. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Not sure if this is where you looked, but check the overall Windows settings as follows:
Click Start and type Language in the search box. When Region and Language comes up, click it.
Look through all the tabs to ensure everything's set as expected.
Outside of finding something unexpected in there, it's never a bad idea to try resetting the Character tool, or even the Photoshop overall preferences. To reset the Type Tool, select the T tool, then right-click in the T tool icon in the options area:
