AE text replacement script, Hebrew characters and punctuation marks

Hi,
I'm using a script to replace text on one of my AE projects. When I use English characters it work prefect, the problem is once I'm trying to replace the text with Hebrew I get small arrows (as shown in the attached screen grab) before and after punctuation marks.
Any idea what can cause this kind of behavior, is it script related or the base AE file?

These appear to be glyphs that should be substituted. Could be something to do with specific text flow or multi-variate glyphs that are substituted based on the context of neighboring characters. In any case, short of manually fixing it I don't think there is any way to get this right. AE is quite limited in dealing with any of this stuff and in the past you actualyl needed the Middel East versiosn to get correct RTL writing at all...

Use system-wide Text replacement to superscript characters? 1st, 2nd, etc

I wanted to use the new text substitution in Snow Leopard to transform typed "1st" and "2nd's" into their 'correct' form with superscripted numerical suffixes. I tried to just easy do it by copying a corrected form out of Pages where I had created a proper "1st,", "2nd," and so on, but when I would paste them into the system prefs pane, they would just paste as regular numerals & letters instead of the superscripted variety.
I then thought to see if I could find the proper superscripted letters in the character viewer but came up empty. Does anyone know of a way to get this working? it's minor and all, but would be a nice addition.

1) yes, I know that
2) how would that help this situation any even if I hadn't? i didn't say "I can't get my text replacements to be accepted in any applications," I stated that I cannot find a way to get the Text System Prefs pane to accept supercripted numerical suffixes.
Sorry to be an *** about it, but everyone's always lambasting posters for not being clear enough or specific enough in what they're trying to do, and I was very clear about what I was asking and even in giving specifics on what i had done to try and remedy the situation myself.
I'm not asking how to get text replacement to work in apps, I'm asking how to get the system-wide text replacement to accept superscripted numerical suffixes in the first place. Maybe it's not possible? maybe it is and I'm missing something, but if so it's specific to the prefs pane, not other applications.

Text Prediction and punctuation marks [N97]

Hi!
I've been using 6310i for a veeery long time
Recently I decided to buy N97.
And I have a question concerning the Text Prediction feature.
Very often when I insert a word I'd like to use one of punctuation marks. For example a comma or a full stop.
So after my desired predictive text is inserted I use the "1" button.
And if the punctuation mark is not what I want, e.g. a comma appears and I want a full stop then I press the * button repeatedly to get a desired punctuation mark.
Recently I installed Custom Dictionary application from Nokia Beta Labs.
And when I edited a list of all custom words that have been added I was surprised to see that there were a lot of words with commas, full-stops, question marks at the end of exactly the same words.
So I made some tests.
It seems that when you insert a desired word and you use the "1" button to insert a punctuation mark and then you use * - the words is automatically saved to the custom dictionary with this punctuation mark at the end.
Do you think this is intentional or maybe I am using the feature incorrectly?

Thanks guys for your posts!
@The_Funkateer
If you imagine that the same word is automatically saved to the custom dictionary but with various punctuation marks at the end - you have the answer.
You can notice that always the last used punctuation mark is used.
And sometimes when you insert a word and a punctuation mark and you use * you will see that a totally different word with the same punctuation may appear (if the word has the same combination of keys).
I suppose and I think I'm right that N95 treats "word + punctuation" as a completely new word and moreover the phone saves it automatically and secretly to the custom dictionary even if we don't want them to be saved.
@chanchan05
Sure, but it has nothing in common with the beta version of Custom Dict.
In my case the Dict works as expected.
It just helped me to discover what is on the list of my custom words and I was really shocked to see over 2000 words (each word repeated several times with different punctuations at the end).
You can make tests to notice what happens every time when you are writing a message.
Insert a word, add a punctuation and use * several times.
Then use the Custom Dict app to edit the list of custom words.
@foxmeister
Thanks for the info.
As I can see you are now using the N900.
Does it work better in N900?

I need help with a 1 Page Form with scrollable text field (5000 limit characters) and printing

Hello, I have no training in using Adobe Acrobat Pro or Livecycle Designer so I need major help with a 1 page form that I am attempting to create. Basically the form will be used to nominate employees for a Job Well Done Award.
The form contains the following:
1.) The name(s) of the employees being nominated and the date of the accomplishment.
2.) In the middle of the page I have a section for a write up, limited to 5000 characters, this is were I am needing the most help. A couple of things, about this section: The font is set at 11 and I don't want it to change. The text field has multiple-line, scroll long text enabled. The text field is a certain size and can only hold so much text, then it starts to scroll, which I am ok with, I like that feature. The issue I am having is during printing. I would like to keep the text field scrollable but when I print I would like to be able to print everything in that field. Executing this is the problem, I have no clue how to do it. I was hoping for some setting within Acrobat Pro or LiveCycle to be available, but the more I read and research this, it appears that it may require java, xml, basically some coding. I don't know for sure.
3.) Below the text field I have another field for the person nominating to type their name and right next to that another field for a digital signature.
4.) And finally below those two fields I have a Submit button that is setup to start email application so the form can be emailed to the proper inbox.
Thank you in advance.

With an Acrobat form the only thing you can do is export the text to
another location (like a blank field on another page) or to another file
format. With an LCD form you can expand the text box itself, but you'll
need to ask about that over at the LCD Scripting forum.

Reader XI regression - text annotations content ignores spaces and punctuation

Dear All,
you can test this issue in the following file when you hover the icons:
http://examples.itextpdf.com/results/part2/chapter07/generic_annotations.pdf
All spaces are narrower and colons are suppressed. I've found in my files there are also slashes, dots and some other characters missing.
I've already reported this issue, but we are distributing lot of files and all our users are affected. Is there any workaround for this?
Thanks, Jan
Adobe Reader 11.0.07, Win 8 64-bit.

Hi Gilad, you are right, as I've found now, it works on my home computer with Win 7 too.
I've tested it on several other Win 8 machines and all are affected.

When I right click on an image in an email message, select "save image as..." , then try and open it, its not a pic, but letters, numbers and punctuation marks. what am i doing wrong?

I save it to a folder and try to open it up like i did before. I never had this problem with Internet Explorer. Please help.

If you right-click the image and choose View Image Info, what shows as "Type"?
If it shows JPEG image, for example, make sure to save the file with a .jpg file extension. If you place quotation marks around the entire file name, e.g.,
"myfile.jpg"
then you can ensure that the name as the correct extension. Does that help?

Photo replaced with a box and question mark

I see photos in the I photo library, but when I click on them to see the single picture in a larger view instead of seeing the particular picture, I get a square box with a question mark in it. It doesn't happen with all my pictures, just 80 percent, which is very frustrating since these are the most recent pictures from a vacation. This just started with the recent upgrade to I photo 6. I have ibookG4 running OSX 10.4.8

Welcome to the Mac and the Apple DIscussions.
In general, it's a good idea to create a new thread for a new query.
To your specific questions:
1. however, it drives me crazy that I can't simply add more photos to an existing roll in the library... it always creates a new folder. How do I stop iPhoto from doing this?
You can't. But you can move photos from Roll to Roll in the iPhoto Window, and this will be reflected in the Finder. Just a you can rename Rolls etc., all via the iPhoto Window.
2. Is there any way that I can retrain the programme to find the photos that I have moved?
No, sorry, the best you can do, if you cannot return things to the way they were, is to create a new library and start over. To rebuild the library: move the iPhoto Library Folder to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library Folder on your desktop and find there the Originals folder. From there drag the individual rolls to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library Folder on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
A general comment: iPhoto is a photo organiser, with built-in image viewer, version control and lightweight editing. The key concept is that it's a photo organiser, a database. Like any database it needs you to manipulate the data via the iPhoto Window and not any other way.
When you rename things in the iPhoto Library Folder, or when you focus on the iPhoto Library Folder you're missing the point. You do your work in the iPhoto Window, and apart from backing up, forget about the iPhoto Library Folder. As Phillyphan points out, messing with the iPhoto Library Folder is like opening the bonnet on your car and re-arranging the wiring there. With the same results! Or as I sometimes put it, iPhoto is a photo organiser, why do you then re-organise what the organiser has done?
Most people who reorganise the iPhoto Library Folder do so because they are afraid that they will be unable to find the photos should they need them. Well, there are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size.
3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
By all means post back if you need any further clarifications or help.
Regards
TD

How to get hebrew characters to work with data merge?

I'm trying to work with data merge with Hebrew characters and get gibrish on the panel, merging and export.
I've tried to change the CSV file to Unicode and change the language setting but it still don't work.
I've worked with data merge before in English and it work perfectly.
Any Ideas? is this a bug? software constrains?

Try this:
Save your file as a UTF-16 BE (Big Endian) file.
Import showing options in ID. I'm on a PC, choose the below regardless.
Should look like this in ID.
Apologies to Farsi-speaking people everywhere. I pulled some text out of a Farsi text file to make up this tab-delimited merge file. I don't speak it, so it is likely servely non-sensical.
The text editor being used here (first screen shot) is the OpenSource NotePad++. I am also not using the ME version of ID.
Take care, Mike

View Hebrew characters via a virtual InfoCube with services?

Hi there!
Is it possible to view Hebrew characters via a virtual InfoCube with services from an external database?
Requirement
Data which is physically stored in an external database needs to be shown in a SAP BW report to the end users. The movement of data must be avoided.
Concept
We use a virtual InfoCube with services in connection with UDC in order to retrieve data from an external database.
System Architecture
We use BW 3.5 and Web AS 6.40 J2EE on the SAP side. The external database is a Teradata database. All systems communicate in Unicode UTF-8.
Problem
The access of the data using SAP queries in this architecture works fine with regular Latin characters and numeric values. When we try to transfer a field into an InfoObject of the virtual InfoCube, which contains Hebrew characters in the external database, we are getting the following error message:
Messages:
Value '' (hex. '') of characteristic contains invalid characters
System error in program SAPLRRK0 and form RSRDR;SRRK0F30-01-
Can anybody explain this?
Thank you and best regards
Klaus-Peter

Hi Klaus-Peter,
Execute transaction code RSKC. In the "Permitted Extra Characters" field, input all your Hebrew characters and save your entries by executing the "Execute" icon.
Then go back and re-run your upload program. You shouldn't have any invalid characters again, provided you have added them all.
I hope the above helps.
Do not forget to award the points please.
Thanks and Regards,
Jacob

Snippits text replacement ....

I have been interested in an app called Snippits
http://ben.kudria.net/code/snippits
Now not had much luck getting it working, the Ben the developer has been a great help but I would like to be able to help him
If anyone has used Snippits or is willing to test it under KDE [as I use Gnome!] post here if it works for you
Would very much like to help him develop this app I know a little Ruby [emphasis on little!] so I can sort of understand code
Any of you coders out there can help me understand text replacement ie clipboard cutting and pasting? [Ruby!]
Or even if you think its of any use to you
MrG

Some links that may help
http://lifehacker.com/351285/automate-r … h-snippits
I am not fully up to speed on how linux deals with clipboard .... need to find input stream [sorry for my non tech terms!] hit hotkey and then check for word in snippits list
A snippit is basically a named file that contains the text to replace...would a single config file be a better way to go?
example the file em would contain:
[email protected]
on typing em in a editor you would then hit your hotkey the text [em] would be removed then replaced with [email protected]
Any input would be welcome

I use classical Hebrew for my work, and Pages will only display English characters even with a Hebrew font selected. If I cut and paste Hebrew characters from another document, as long as the font is supported, it will appear in Pages. If I type it won't continue in Hebrew. I have tried downloading several fonts, including those from professional societies, but the only way to get Hebrew in my document is to cut and paste. Does anyone know how to fix this? I use an older MacBook running OS 10.9.1. I used to do my Hebrew work in Word, but it is no longer supported by Mac OS.

Just clarifying:
Pages '09 has bad support for Hebrew, Arabic etc but will accept pasted text.
Pages 5 has much better support but with bugs.
If you have columns they are in the wrong order ie Text starts in the left column and ends in the right column.
If you type English into Hebrew text it tends to fall in the wrong position eg instead of to the left of Hebrew punctuation it goes to the right.
As Tom recommends the only real solution on the Mac is Mellel.
Peter
btw Tell Apple, they are amazingly slow to fix this running sore which has been broken since RtoL was supposedly introduced in OSX 10.2.3 over a decade ago.

Difference jb/w text symblosin script and standard text in scripts

hi to all
can u pols explain about the
difference b/w text symblos in script and standard text in scripts

hi
Default paragraph Paragraph set to * in standard text maintenance
If no form has been assigned to a text, the system automatically assigns the form SYSTEM, which contains minimal definitions for text formatting. There are two ways of formatting texts using forms: Use the standard text maintenance to enter and print the text.
Any kind of text can be included in a form. If no object is specified, then TEXT will be used (standard texts).

Text Symbols
Text symbols acquire their values as a result of explicit assignment. To interactively assign text symbols, in the text editor choose Include  Symbols  Text. This method is available for all text symbols belonging to a text module as well as those of the associated form. Values defined in this way are lost when the transaction is left. If you want to print the text module again, then you must enter the symbol values again. The purpose of the DEFINE command is to provide a means of making this value assignment a permanent part of the text, so that the values are available again when the text module is called again. This command can also be used to re-assign a new value to a text symbol half-way through the text. Syntax: /: DEFINE &symbol_name& = 'value'
/: DEFINE &subject& = 'Your letter of 7/3/95' The value assigned can have a maximal length of 60 characters. It may itself contain other symbols. A symbol contained within the value assigned to another symbol is not replaced with its own value at the point at which the DEFINE command is executed. Rather, this replacement is made when the symbol defined in the DEFINE command is called in the text.
/: DEFINE &symbol1& = 'mail' /: DEFINE &symbol2& = 'SAP&symbol1&' /: DEFINE &symbol1& = 'script' &symbol2& -> SAPscript If, however, the DEFINE command is written using the ':=' character rather than the '=' character, then any symbol contained within the value being assigned is replaced immediately with its current value. The assignment to the target symbol is made only after all symbols in the value string are replaced with their values. The total length of the value string may not exceed 80 characters. The target symbol must be a text symbol, as before.
/: DEFINE &symbol1& = 'mail' /: DEFINE &symbol2& := 'SAP&symbol1&' /: DEFINE &symbol1& = 'script' &symbol2& -> SAPmail
Inserting Text Symbols
Procedure
Inserting a Text Symbol
1. Choose Insert → Symbols → Text.
2. Place the cursor on the desired text symbol.
3. Choose Choose.
4. The system inserts the text symbol.
Editing the Value of a Text Symbol
1. Choose Insert → Symbols → Text.
2. Choose Edit value bearbeiten. The dialog window Value definition for symbol <text symbol> appears.
3. Enter the appropriate value definition.
4. Choose Continue. In the dialog window Text symbols the specified value appears after the name of the text symbol.
5. Choose Continue.
Deleting all Text Symbol Values
1. Choose Insert → Symbols → Text.
2. Choose Delete all values. The system deletes all defined values.
3. Choose Continue.
Using Formatting Options for Text Symbols
1. Choose Insert → Symbols → Text.
2. Choose Options. The dialog window Formatting options for <text symbol> appears.
3. Fill in the fields.
4. Choose Continue.
5. Choose Continue. The system executes the selected formatting option.

How to Search for text in a word document and replace it

Hey All ,
I am able to open up a word document present locally using OLE2 Automation. Now i need to search for a text in that document
and replace it with another text. How do i achieve this?
And another issue is when i search for the particular pattern i need to store the pattern that comes after the pattern as i need it for further use before i replace it.
Thanks And Warm Regards,
Nischal

Greek Text Not Displaying Properly (Characters being replaced with different ones)

Hi,
I am using Adobe Photoshop CS3. I have a spreadsheet of Greek translations. When I copy and paste the text into Photoshop, certain characters are missed out or replaced with an incorrect one. I have tried downloading fonts that support the Greek character set, but still no luck. If I paste this text into any other applications (Word, explorer etc) the text displays properly. I was wandering if there is a setting or anything in photoshop that I need to change? It seems to be an issue with this application only.
Many thanks,

Have you tried to set your system language to a European setting, e.g. Ireland or UK? Seems like an issue with incorrect Unicode conversion. Also turn off OpenType features for automated glyph replacement in the menu of the Character palette...

Lion replaces text with 'block A' characters in safari

about 1/4 of the sites i vist now (including my own--in safari) have a 'block A' character where there is html text.
does anyone know how to fix this?
thanks.

There are two articles on MacFixit about this.
Fonts are implicated in both.
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20087102-263/webkit-sandboxing-conflict-cau ses-safari-block-a-font-problem/
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20085570-263/safari-in-os-x-lion-replacing- text-with-block-a-characters/
Clearing caches and booting to Safe Mode has helped the majority of people experiencing this problem; however, for a few people the problem returns after a while, indicating that either Safari itself or the system's font configuration may be actively corrupting the font cache.
.... (example)
- If this happens, then unfortunately the approach would be to systematically disable system fonts using Font Book until the problem goes away, and then remove the specific fonts that are contributing to the problem.
