Special Character for in-line previous page reference:

OS: Windows XP Pro SP2
Software: IDCS2
I'm working on a document and I need to make an inline reference to an item two pages back (not a "continued on/from"). This document is used in two different books, and the page numbers change in each book.
Is there a way I can use an inline special character to reference that changing page number?
Thanks in advance,
Ed

I know it's not really cheating... but it's used in a way I wasn't able to find a reference for. And it's not truly an inline cross reference either, as I had to put this last paragraph with the character in it in a new text-box. But in the final product it will look like it.
What I was originally looking for was a way to do it in the same story as the rest of my text. But I couldn't, since that story was threaded to a different text box.
I guess I was looking to reference like an HTML anchor or something? But there wasn't really a built-in way of doing it.
And there are drawbacks: like you can only do this within the same document (I assume). And in many circumstances, you would have to add a new text box, since many stories would already be threaded.
I never claimed it was pretty! :) Just that it worked!

Is there a Special Character for the number of pages in a document?

I'm creating a template (in cs6) for a series of documents of variable length, and each document needs to be numbered with the format, "page A of Z." I see the special character for inserting the current page number (A) and I'd like to have the number of pages in the document (Z) added automatically as well. Is there a wildcard, special character, or script that will accomplish this? I'd rather not have to enter the number of pages manually as the value will change as these go through the editing process; I'd prefer to have the numbers update automatically. Has anybody done this before?

Your first suggestion is the only way to capture the last page of a book that's comprised of independent document files. The last page number text variable works only within a single document.
Anyone who wants a last page in book text variable badly enough can post a feature request at Wishform.

You can also, much more simply, create a new text variable. There is
specifically one for "last page number". That's much simpler.

"last page number".

Display special character for 'Artihmetic mean'

I can't find the character for 'Arthmetic mean', it's 'x' with a line above, any ideas!?
I've searched several font (Symbol, Wingdings etc) but didn't found that special character...!

Oh, I do apologise. I saw the character on wiki and assumed it was a character, rather than a graphic.
Usually, to create interesting unicode characters, you can combine diacritics. For instance, xbar is X followed by ¯;
x̄
(might not display on unsupported browsers)
However LabVIEW doesn't support this, and will print x ¯ and I can't find any info on how else it might be implemented.
You might be able to find a hack in this document
And in the meantime, you can kudo this suggestion

Ramesh,
Its not possible to have special characters in the number range object. You will have to use other fields to accomplish your needs and work around it.

Did Lion eliminate the finger gestures for show the previous page and show the next page? I've checked system settings for the track pad and it looks like the got rid of one of my favorite finger gestures when browsing the internet. How do I get it back

I've upgraded to LION. It looks like LION eliminates the finger gestures within internet browsing that used to yield navigating to the previous page or navigating to the next page. I think it was a 3 finger swipe to the left and a 3 finger swipe to the right. It looks like this has been eliminated. I've gone into the system preferences and went through all the new settings for the track pad finger gestures. I've not found a combination that allows me to swipe on the track pad to do the page forward / page back function.
How to I get this back? I was my favorite one and now I can't get there!

For going back to the previous page try a 2-finger gesture. Two fingers in the other direction will take you back.

Checking Special Character for EmpNumber

Hi all,
i want to elimate special characters in my employee number using oracle function
EMPNO CHAR(9)
585856789 --Correct
79799&%3 --InCorrect (Error Out)
i want to know the query for finding these special characters in my column can anyone help
Thanks in advance

To determine what characters are comprising your empno string, use the DUMP function:
select empno, dump(empno) from emp;In order to limit the result set to only those records with invalid characters, translate out all the valid characters selecting non null values:
select empno, dump(empno) from emp where translate(empno,chr(13)||'0123456789',chr(13)) is not nullThis code assumes that the carriage return character (chr(13)) is invalid. You just need to extend the string of valid characters (currently 0-9) with any additional valid characters so they will be removed as well. Additionally could perform the dump function on the translated string instead of the original empno column so that you only see the invalid characters being dumped.

Special character ($) for Linux giving problems with script

Hi.
Trying to use a script that will check status of log sequence on two databases:
sqlplus -L system/pwd@string <<END_SQL
spool standby_monitor.txt replace
select sysdat from dual;
select max(sequence#)from v$log_history;
spool off
exit;
END_SQL
The problem is that Linux doesnt like the $ sign and when the script is run returns "table or view does not exist". (after i place the $ in the script the name of the table goes purple).
There is clearly a need to substitute the v$ - I have tried inverted commas but to no avail. I have tried putting this in a separate sql script then calling that but still same issue.
Is there a way around this?
Thanks.

Display special character on web page

Hello,
Is it possible to display the special character < or > in a bsp page ?
I try to do it but it seams to be interpreted as HTML and nothing is printed.
In material description in purchase requisition we have < material desc > and I would like to show this in a tableview.
For the moment I delete the special character in a string variable but it does'nt correspond to my need.
Thanks for your help
Véronique.

Hello,
You could try something with special characters :
e.g. this code
&#171 material &#187
produces this output
« material »
Best regards,

Store special character

I need to store the special character for Service Mark(supscript SM) in the database. Is there a way I can do that. I could do that for trademark (superscript TM) but not for SM. Any suggestions? pleasse help.

The ISO 8859-1 character set includes the copyright symbol (circle around a c) and the Registerd Trademark symbol (circle around an R). It does not, however, include the Trade Mark or Service Mark character, so your database character set doesn't support encoding either of those characters. Short of changing the database character set, you are probably out of luck.
You can scan the character set to see if I missed the characters you're interested in

Reg: Special Character Appearing in Excel O/P.

I am getting excel output generated via an Oracle report (CSV format). In the excel output, I am getting a special character for TAB (Chr9, a box). Since user wants to sort the data, because of this character they are not able to sort data in sheet properly.
Can anyone suggest what could cause this special character to appear in the report output? I am looking from layout perspective also. Is this has something to do with the printing style applied to the concurrent program?
Thanks In advance.

I had the same problem and this is what I did, works great. You have the total control.
function BeforeReport return boolean is
fp text_io.file_type;
begin
-- creating a file name
:CP_filename := 'C:\Gap'||to_char(sysdate,'MMDDYYHHMISS')||'.csv';
-- Opening the file in write mode
fp := text_io.fopen(:CP_filename,'w');
-- writing the column headings into the file
text_io.put_line(fp,'"Platform","Sys#","GapType",');
text_io.fclose(fp);
return (TRUE);
end;
and then where ever it is suitable, depending on the requirement, write into file by opening it in the append mode.
function R_G_systemplatformFormatTrigge return boolean is
fp text_io.file_type;
begin
-- srw.message(99,:dname);
fp := text_io.fopen(:CP_filename,'a');
text_io.put(fp,'"' || :systemplatform || '",');
text_io.put(fp,'"' || to_char(:sysno) || '",');
text_io.put_line(fp,'"' || :CF_gaptype || '",');
text_io.fclose(fp);
return (TRUE);
end;
This works great. Hope this helps.

Safari freezin when show the previous page with gestures

I'm on a Macbook Pro 13 inch mid 2012
Processor 2.5 Ghz intel core i5
memory 4Gb 1600 MHz DDR3
OSX 10.9.5
My problem is with Safari 7.1
it just started to happen with the last upgrade of Safari for a can tell, wen I'm navigating several page or just go to a next pager after the first screen, and wen i use my *Gesture for "Show the previous page" it just slide a bit it alwase the some amount, and it just freeze the action and you can't apparently "stop loading page" o " Reload the current page".
and i have to closet that actual Tab and load the page i was in.
it not a big thing bat i think it actually affecting other gestures after the problem triggered and wen i don't notice if it happen it get frustrating if I'm truing to use othere gestures in other window of Safari. have to navigate and find the actual window that got frozen or just close all tabs at one if i don't want go thow the trable of finding it.
Any ideas what it could be cousin the problem or any solution to it?

Is there anyway to fix this without changing my operating system?
I didn't think there was, but my memory is a bit rusty.
Safari 1.3.2 is a bit rough around the edges these days unfortunately.
Your best bet these days is to switch to an alternative browser that is still fully supported on Panther, such as:
Camino
Firefox
Sorry, I wish I had better news for the Safari side of things

REGEX AND SPECIAL CHARACTER

Hi guys, I have a problem!!!!
I am using the java.util.regex.*, when I try use the special character, for example ' \w ' I get a error
Pattern.compile("\w123\w");
The compiler return to me that the \w character is not a valide, the output error are:
"illegal escape character".
What I need do to put this character in my regular expression and don't get the error?!!?
Another question, I use the feloow code
Pattern p = Pattern.compile("isc");
Matcher matcher = p.matcher("Giscard");
if(matcher.matches())
System.out.println("MATCH");
else
System.out.println("NOT MATCH"); //The resul is always this, why the regex don't match with my name?Thanks one more time.
Giscard

1)
Pattern.compile("\\w123\\w");To input a single "\" in a Java program you must enter two "\\".
2) read the javadoc
matches()
Attempts to match the entire region against the pattern.
So "isc" only matches "isc", not "Giscard"
You need to use find()

How do I prevent Pages from pushing paragraphs to next page when they would otherwise begin on the last line of the previous page?

I am writing papers for school which have strict page limits so I can't afford to be losing lines at the bottom of a page because Pages thinks it looks better to have a new paragraph start on the next page. It does this automatically and I have to go back and manually format to get the first line of the paragraph to start on the last line of the previous page. This then creates problems down the line when I am editing so I would really like to be able to turn the feature off.
e.g. with Pages auto-formatting
-----page 1-----
     Paragraph #1 blah blah
blah blah blah
     Paragraph #2 blah blah
blah blah blah
-----page 2-----
     Paragraph #3 blah blah
blah blah
e.g. after manual formatting
-----page 1-----
     Paragraph #1 blah blah
blah blah blah
     Paragraph #2 blah blah
blah blah blah
     Paragraph #3 blah blah
-----page 2-----
blah blah

How can I use Greek symbols in a text in Pages? Greek symbols are not in the special character list.

How can I use Greek symbols in a Pages text? Greek symbols are not included in the special character collection.
I need to import for example a sigma from Word or Adobe illustrator and then Pages can recognise it. I can not find it from within Pages.

Special character palette from the edit menu does have sigmas under European ... > Greek ...
You can do a search at the bottom of the Special Character palette. Double click on the greek capital letter sigma. You will get a lot of sigmas.
