Alternative way of saying white space...

I am writing a properties file and one of the property keys needs to return a white space i.e.
something=
What character can i use to indicate a white space i.e. i can use \n to mean a carriage return.
Thanks!

search high and low for the answer, then 10 seconds after posting here i found it!
For anyone else interested, it is \u00A0

Adding white spaces between strings during concatenation in JSTL

Please provide a way to add white space between strings during concatenation in JSTL.
I tried the following.
eg:
<c:set var="even_odd" value="odd">
<c:out value="first ${even_odd}"/>
I want the output string as "first odd ".
Moreover i am using the above value for generating the class attribute of a row of a table like
<tr class=<c:out value="first ${even_odd}"/>>
while printing the value of <c:out value="first ${even_odd}"/> in the page,i am getting correctly as i needed as "first odd".
But while taking the code of the page while rendering by the browser, it is showing like
<tr class="first" odd="">
I think the white space is the problem.
Please provide any solution or hint.

<tr class=<c:out value="first ${even_odd}"/>><tr class="first ${even_odd}">

Bottom White Space

On my website you can see that there is white space at the bottom but it ends just short of the true bottom, is there anyway I can make this so white continues down all the way?

Well its the 'footer' <div> and the <div> before that which need some attention.
Add the below to your css styles:
.footer {
width: 80%;
margin: 0 auto;
background-color: #fff;
.footer p {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
Then remove the "push" <div> completely:
<div class="push"></div>
<div class="footer">

</div>
To just leave:

Remove XML Tags with White space.

Hi All, I have a scenario like the below code where I have empty spaces in few columns of my tables. I create XML of the data and send it. There is a lot of code such and I can't add ISNULL() on each and every column. Is there any simple one line code working
with the XML so that I can remove the tags with only empty spaces. TIA.
DECLARE @xml1 VARCHAR(max)
DECLARE @xml2 VARCHAR(max)
set @xml1 = (SELECT 1 AS Col11, ' ' AS Col21, 'ABC' AS Col31 FOR XML RAW, ELEMENTS)
set @xml2 = (SELECT 2 AS Col12, ' ' AS Col22, 'ABC' AS Col32 FOR XML RAW, ELEMENTS)
DECLARE @xml xml;
SET @xml = Cast('<ROOT>' + ISNULL(@xml1, '') + ISNULL(@xml2, '') + '</ROOT>' as xml)
SET @xml.modify('delete //*[not(node())]');
-- Some Way to Remove the XML Tags with Empty space here.
select @xml as XMLString
/* Output of the Above script.
<ROOT>
<row>
<Col11>1</Col11>
<Col21> </Col21> -- This XML Tag with a white space should be removed
<Col31>ABC</Col31>
</row>
<row>
<Col12>2</Col12>
<Col22> </Col22> -- This XML Tag with a white space should be removed
<Col32>ABC</Col32>
</row>

It would have helped if there had been a trim() function in XQuery.
With some trial and error and inventive thinking I came up with this:
<span style="color:Blue">SET</span> @xml.modify(<span style="color:#A31515">'delete //*[. <= " "]'</span>);
As they say: it seems to work. But I leave no warranties.

seems to work, I need to test it against my data and update on this. Thanks again.

How to extract ALL text on a line, including extra white space, from PDF?

I have written my first scripts to parse thru PDF files and successfully locate the beginning and ending of text portions that I wish to copy/extract. For example, one of the scripts reads thru PDF files and locates patterns that allow me to copy/extract a lengthy Title that spans several lines on the page. My remaining problem is that sometimes the text I wish to copy/extract has tabs or lots of white space between the words, and I need to retain ALL the "white space" between words. Basically, I am successful at using getPageNthWord(j, i, false) along with "Quad coordinate sets" to get a word-at-a-time for all the words on the multiple lines but it seems to be skipping over the tabs and extra white spacing beetween the words. Another way to say this is that I need to extract/copy a full line at a time, including all white space, instead of being limited to just a word at a time.
Can anyone help me with an algorithm to extract/copy text, not just the words but also including tabs and other extra white space characters? Is there some type of Regular Expression I should be using, or maybe some additional parameter used for getPageNthWord that would retain all the extra white space?
Thanks in advance,
Ted L

Did you try setting the bStrip parameter of getPageNthWord to false? It will
preserve some of the whitespace, but not all of it.
As far as I know, that's the only way to do it via a script.

Powershell (Replacing White Spaces with a comma)

The object property values output tends to be tabular with varying white spaces between each column. I’m looking for a script that will allow me to:
Output the object property values to a file
Remove all white spaces encountered (regardless of the number of spaces)
Replace the spaces with one (1) comma
Replace isn’t the answer unless I literally define each instance of spaces and I can’t find any discernable documentation on using Regex…
-- formattting the output doesn't help either...
Any guidance / help would be appreciated
Roderick

Let's say I ran the PowerShell command below:
Get-ClusterResource -Cluster ClusterName | Where-Object {$_.Name -like "SQL Server (*"}
The output would be something along lines of what you see below.
I typically output the result set to a csv file, strip the header, replace the spaces with a single comma, and bulk import the data into a SQL Server table for reporting.
Basically, I'd like a "dynamic way" (not replace with the literal space count between double quotes) of getting rid of the spaces between the columns and replace the spaces with a single comma.

Insert .oam files that scale without leaving white space below them inside a web page

Hi All,
Does anyone have a way to get .oam files to scale inside a web page without leaving all the white space below them when they are scaled in a fluid web page design?
I've done this in other web pages without using .oam files and inserting the whole html file and stage, but I need this to work with multiple areas inside a web page for which .oam files seem to be the only solution.
Thanks for your time, any solutions or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeff

Hi Meenakshi,
Thanks for your reply, the blog tutorial you're referencing however uses the HTML files and doesn't use .oam files, which is my problem, as I need to insert more than one edge element on the page.
Alternatively if there is a way to insert two "stage" HTML edge elements into a page using the method referenced above, this would be a suitable solution also. I've tried inserting more than one HTML file / stage where they are of different stage sizes and had no luck creating a second "stage_02" etc to acheive this so far.
Thanks again for your reply,
Cheers,
Jeff

InDesign 2.0: White Space Around Pages Disappeared

I'm having a really frustrating issue with a document I've been creating in the same way for years. I usually use the whitespace around the pages in InDesign 2.0 to work on my graphics, but this morning I accidentally hit some mysterious shortcut that made the white space (and all my graphics) disappear (the are is now grey) I've been searching and searching the help section and the internet for a solution, but I'm stumped and running way behind on this project. Anyone know how to get that white space back? Thanks.

Look at the last tool in the toolbox. This toggles between normal mode viewing the pasteboard, guides and other stuff,
and the preview mode. As Dave says, the keyboard shortcut into and out of preview (which you obviously hit) is W, but if
you use the toolbox button you will also be able to select a preview showing the bleed area and slug area as well.

About ignoring white space

I've read through most relating topic and found that there's actually no way(except you write it all) to ignore the white space if you don't have a DTD. Saying that without DTD , the parser has no way to know if the white spaces are significant.
Well, isn't that a little silly? why can't they just provide another method to let the user indicate this?
OK, after complaining, here's the question. You can see I am struggling with the white space thing...
XML :
<query id="12345">
<object name = "obj1">
<property = "abc">
<color = "red"/>
</property>
</object>
<query>
now, can anyone tell me a way to extract all "childen"(not "#text") nodes that
belong to node "query" ?
since the getChildNodes() will simply fail by white spaces...
I've even tried :
list = query.getChildNodes();//query is the root <query...>
Node child = list.item(1); //ignore item(0) which is "#text"
while(child.hasChildNodes()&&child.getNodeName()!="#text"){
System.out.print(child.getNodeName());
System.out.print(child.getNodeValue());
child = child.getChildNodes().item(1);
this partially works, but the value returned is null and also the last tag <color.../> is missed.
confused...
Thank you!

while(child.hasChildNodes()&&child.getNodeName()!="#text"){Don't use == or != to compare the contents of two strings. Do this instead:while(child.hasChildNodes()&&!child.getNodeName().equals("#text"))

GREP remove white space at start and end of paragraph

Hi,
Question for the GREP experts: I'd like to construct a GREP expression
that will remove all white space at the start AND end of a paragraph in
one go.
What I've got so far works, but you have to run it twice to work:
I'll try and post it at the bottom of this message, but since I'm
posting via email it probably will come out scrambled, so I'll describe
what I've got so far:
Two expressions in parenthesis separated by the OR character (pipe). The
first expression searches for one or more space, tab or white-space at
the beginning of a paragraph.
The second expression searches for the same at the end of the paragraph.
Each expression is in parenthesis, and the two groups are separated, as
I say, by an OR sign.
However, this has to be run twice for it to work. For it removes all the
spaces at the start of paragraphs, then when run again all the spaces at
the end.
Any ideas how to get it to work in one go?
Thanks,
Ariel
The expression is:
(^[ \ts]+)|([ \ts)+$)

Arïel, your GREP appears a bit mashed up in the forum -- was it something like this?
(^[\t\s]+)|([\t\s]+$)
If so:
1. "\s" is "any whitespace", so you would not need to include "\t" as well. But I would not recommend this, as a HUGE disadvantage of "\s" is it also includes hard and soft returns: double returns are seen as "any whitespace" (the first return) and then "end of line" (the second return), and the first is removed. ("Disadvantage" is subject to what you want to accomplish, by the way. I usually don't want this so I list each possible whitespace character that may be removed.)
2. The parentheses around each 'section' of this GREP are not necessary. The OR operator is 'highest level' -- in this case, since you have an entire left part OR an entire right part, you can omit all parentheses.
3. This works for me ...
^[\t ]+|[\t ]+$
... and despite Peter's not-too-shabby suggestion, I would still recommend using mine instead. It's easier on ID (since it only has to remove text, not "remove-and-then-insert-again" (which is exactly what using the $.. operators do), and, more importantly, there are limits to what $1 can 'pick up'. I can't recall the special circumstances, but I have had text attributes shift, and footnotes and anchored objects disappear/being mucked up/otherwise mangled.

Skipping the white space

How do I stop Adobe X reader from skipping the white space between pages? Or at least stop making it jump between pages. It's driving me mad.
Please don't say "you'll get use to it." If there's no way to fix it I'll just uninstall and go back to 9.
Thank you for your time.

White space handling dbms_xmlstore.insertxml

Hi,
I have a question about white space handling.
I have a column in table which holds white space character.
When I loading xml file using dbms_xmlstore.insertxml white space is converted into NULL and inserted into table.
It would fail if the column type is not null.
How do I handle it?
======================================================
Alternatively, how do I insert a tag with only whitespace in it into a table?
<Tag> </Tag> [One whitespace]
To elaborate the question
If I have following data in xml file ...
=============================================
<Rowset>
<Row>
<Tag1> </Tag1>
<Tag2>1</Tag1>
</Row>
</Rowset>
I have to load this data into
table tab1...
create table tab1 (tag1 varchar2(5), tag2 number);
How do I achieve it using dbms_xmlstore so that I can read the whitespace in XML and load it correctly into the table?
========================================================================
To use an alternate approach, I also tried the following.....
I tried the following test program on the xml file also shown below....
XML File is
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ROWSET>
<ROW>
<SYS_NAME> a </SYS_NAME>
<SYS_SERIAL_NUM>000000</SYS_SERIAL_NUM>
</ROW>
</ROWSET>
And small procedure is
create or replace procedure PRO_TEST
as
o_sys_name varchar(10);
spacetag varchar2(10) := ' ';
begin
--execute immediate 'create global temporary table gt_xmltype_tab1 (xmlfile1 xmltype)';
insert into gt_xmltype_tab(xmlfile1)
values(XMLType(bfilename('RESTOREDIR','ADTL_SETUP_OPTIONS.xml'),nls_charset_id('AL32UTF8')));
select extractvalue (value(x), '/ROW/SYS_NAME')
into o_sys_name
from gt_xmltype_tab gt, TABLE(XMLSequence(extract(gt.xmlfile1, '/ROWSET/ROW'))) x;
dbms_output.put_line('[' || o_sys_name || ']');
dbms_output.put_line('ASCII:- ' || ascii(o_sys_name));
if o_sys_name = ' ' then
--if o_sys_name = chr(32) then
dbms_output.put_line('I found space');
else
dbms_output.put_line('I found no space');
end if;
commit;
end;
When Tag is <sys_nam> </sys_name> I get [] in the output(empty).
When Tag is <sys_nam> a</sys_name> I get [ a] in the output(space and a).
When Tag is <sys_nam> a </sys_name> I get [ a ] in the output(space a space).
When I has some character along with the whitespace, behaviour is correct and as expected.
But when the tag contains only whitespace the output is empty.
I cant seem to get around this problem.
Upon receiving empty string, other sub systems which are reading the data stop working.
Can someone help here?

White space handling dbms_xmlstore.insertxmlYou may replace all whitespaces with its corresponding html entity:
SQL> create table test (v varchar2 (5))
Table created.

ctx   sys.dbms_xmlstore.ctxtype := dbms_xmlstore.newcontext ('test');
doc   xmltype := xmltype(replace('<ROW><V> </V></ROW>',' ', '&#32;'));
ret   int;
begin
ret := dbms_xmlstore.insertxml (ctx, doc);
dbms_xmlstore.closecontext (ctx);
end;
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> select v, length (v), ascii(v) from test

     <h2>Dog Training Testimonials<br />
       </h2>
     <p>Sending Otis to Brian for the board and train program was the best decision I ever made. After being told Otis could not be helped and that he should be put down, I was devastated. Otis has now been back from Brian's program for a few weeks and is extremely obedient and friendly. He is the same puppy we brought home a couple years ago, but calmer and without any aggression. We work on Otis' obedience daily as well as walk him and put him on the treadmill.   Thanks to Brian, our dog is happy-go-lucky and more approachable. The list goes on and on of how Brian has helped the family, myself, and especially Otis. If you are having issues with your dog, especially behavior and aggression problems, my advice to you is to trust Brian. Your dog will be in good hands with a safe, reliable, responsible, dog lover that will treat your dog like his own.<br />

The issue with that white space is explained by the use of relative positioning of your menu. Remember that relative positioning visually allows you to move an element, but that its "shadow" or "foot print" is retained in the document flow. So it still takes up space where it originally flowed in your content, and this causes the header image to position itself the way it does. Turn off the relative positioning of the menu to see what I mean. A simple solution is to set the #header to relative positioning, and then apply absolute positioning to the menu.
There are other issues with your code. Much of it can be simplified, and you should really stop using ID selectors from this point on, and predominantly use classes instead. The use of ID selectors ought to be limited as much as you can - they force you to write bloated convoluted code.
Try to write DryCSS (Don't Repeat Yourself).
Here is my somewhat cleaned up code. Notice I removed and simplified most of the css selectors. Some have no css properties at all anymore. And be careful that you cannot use re-use the same id selector in your html code: it will not validate. #program1 must become .program1
PS as always, please backup your files before applying these changes! Dreamweaver lacks a history/versioning feature!

Keep white spaces and carriage returns?

I'm viewing a column -VARCHAR2(4000)- in a standard report column.
The column value contains white spaces and carriage returns.
I put "white-space:pre;" in CSS Style, but it still skips carriage returns...
What can I do to view white spaces and carriage returns?
I'm using apex 3.0 and IE 7.
Saad.

I'm using apex 3.0 and IE 7.There's your problem...
IE6 (and, since there don't seem to be any docs saying anything different, presumably IE7) don't support white-space: pre in quirks mode. Don't ask me why - probably in one of MS efforts to "not break the web".
All the APEX built-in templates are rendered in quirks mode as they don't supply complete DOCTYPEs. If you are using a standard APEX template or a custom template without a complete DOCTYPE declaration you are probably seeing this quirks behaviour.
It looks like this will change in IE8.

Alternative way of saying white space...
