Apex Listener/Apache Tomact and filenames with spaces

I've installed the Apex Listener with Apache Tomcat, and all seems to work fine. Except when I try to do a CSV file data upload via the utilities screen in apex. If the filename/directory path contains spaces, then Apex reports "File Must Be Specified" error - yet if I do this same operation via EPG instead of Tomcat, it works. Are there any restrictions in Tomcat to using spaces??

Look at this thread. Re: File upload problem

Runtime.exec() - using cp and files with spaces on unix

I'm using the Runtime.exec method to copy files in a unix environment. This works fine until there is a file where the name has spaces in it. I've read the article on the pitfalls of using runtime and how it breaks a string on white spaces and this is what is happening. I've also found another topic that was having the same problem, but they were using /usr/bin/dos2unix. I've tried putting quotes around the filename, but it still breaks on the first space. Any suggestions on how to get around this or another way of doing this would be greatly appreciated.
An example of the os command string is:
/usr/bin/cp /tmp/file with space.doc /docs
Thanks!

Hi!
Well I dont have any Sun machine right here to try this but in windows It works great.
Have you tried something like this ?
import java.io.*;
public class OSCopy {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            String space = " ";
            String copycmd = "E:\\cp.cmd";
            String source = "E:\\File with space.txt";
            String destination = "E:\\tmp";
            String cmd = copycmd + space + "\"" + source + "\"" + space + destination;
            System.out.println("cmd: " + cmd);
            Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
            Process copy = runtime.exec( cmd );
            BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader( new InputStreamReader( copy.getInputStream()) );
            String line = null;
            while( (line = reader.readLine()) != null ) {
                System.out.println( line );
        catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
cp.cmd is a simple dos copy command
copy %1 %2
*/good luck!

Suppress Underscore and replace with Space in FR

Hi
Hyperion Financial Reporting 11.1.2.1
In the excel, with a Essbase add-in, we have an option as Suppress--->Underscore Characters
This will eliminate the Underscore and replaces with a space
I want to know if the same functionality exists in the FR Studio
Any insight would be much appreciated
Regards
Tejo jagadeesh

Sorry, I misread your question. I thought it would be doable though Conditional Format: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/fr_user/ch10s02.html
Something like this:
If Member Name > Dimension > contains > _ > Format Cells > Replace >
But then it replaces the whole member with space which I believe is not something you are looking for.
One other option is to have another alias table in your database and select the new alias table in FR. I know this is an option for Essbase. I am not so sure about other db connections.
Cheers,
Mehmet

Jar and classpath with space in folder name?

Hi, all.
Just for fun: what if I have a jar file that is dependant on the other jar file which is placed in folder with space in its name? How would I link it in manifest file?
Thanks.

Havae you tried quoting the Class-Path value?

Apache and directories with spaces

I have apache\quick finder working and indexing multiple volumes & directories on Netware 6.5 SP5. My problem is directories with a space in the name (e.g Harmony Data vice harmonydata). We cannot seem to create an alias for a directory that has a space in it. Is there a way to create an alias for a directory with a space in it?

Hi Gnter and hfr63.
I happened to be looking at this too, and was curious if the alias had a
space in it. I don't know QuickFinder, but why have the space in the
alias? Anyhow, I think best practice would be to encode the space (%20)
in the alias since it will become part of the url.
Alias "/Data%20Files" "vol1:/www/Data Files"
This might work too:
Alias /Data%20Files "vol1:/www/Data Files"

Filename with space problem

Does anyone know why this code is giving me to save the file with the wrong filename? It converts spaces to + signs.
Currently it gives the filename: "test+filename.abc"
The variable resourceName is: "test filename.abc" (<-- this is required filename)
IWDResource resource = WDResourceFactory.createResource(baos.toByteArray(),"test filename.abc",WDWebResourceType.UNKNOWN);
String url = resource.getUrl(WDFileDownloadBehaviour.AUTO.ordinal());
String resourceName = resource.getResourceName();
IWDWindow window = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createNonModalExternalWindow(url,"download").show();

Hi Tom,
I know exactly what you are looking for.
I have implemented it in my web dynpro application.
Here is the code which you can write in action handler of the download button:-
This will open up a pop-up window asking user to Open/Save As/Cancel type of dialogue.
And you need to perform String manipulation on "p_FileName" to remove all the leading, trailing and intermediate spaces in filename.
     try {
          //Get Url connection and inputStream
          l_url = new URL("<URL STRING>");
          l_urlConnection = l_url.openConnection();
          l_inputStream = l_url.openStream();
          //fill up byte array
          int l_int_arraySize = l_urlConnection.getContentLength();
          l_byteArray = new byte[l_int_arraySize];
          l_dis = new DataInputStream(l_inputStream);
          l_dis.readFully(l_byteArray);
          //reset buffers
          l_inputStream.close();
          l_dis.close();
          //Set the Resource for file
          l_resource = WDResourceFactory.createResource(l_byteArray, p_FileName, WDWebResourceType.UNKNOWN);
          l_byteArray = null;
          //Get the url of created resource
          l_str_url = l_resource.getUrl(WDFileDownloadBehaviour.ALLOW_SAVE.ordinal());
          //Call external window passing the above url
          l_win_MultiFileWindow = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createNonModalExternalWindow(l_str_url);
          l_win_MultiFileWindow.show();
     catch (Exception e) {
Hope it helps.
Let me know in case you need more information.

When saving filename with space, the space char convert to %20. How can i solve this?

Each time when i try to save a file. Firefox always convert the space char to %20. This is really irritating.
Any solution?

Thanks for trying to help. Maybe i did not specific my issue clear enough, each time when i try to download a file from my university elearning site. The filenames suggested by firefox automatically change space char to %20. I need to manually remove those %20 to space char again when i save the file, this is really not convenient. I tried on Chrome and IE, both of them do not have this problem with the same file.

UploadedFile and filenames with non-ascii chars

Hi
I'm using an UploadedFile object in my web app, and all works fine. However, when I try to upload a file, with a filename containing non-ascii chars (e.g. Spanish), I see that the getBytes method returns an empty byte array, the filename is not stored correctly (the non-ascii chars are lost, replaced by another representation), and that the content-type is application/octet-stream instead of image/png as supposed to be.
If I rename that same file to have only ascii chars - everything is back to normal.
How can I upload files with non-ascii chars in their name?

Hi, back! Spent a few hours experimenting and found
that everything is working great (including the creation
of international non-ASCII foldernames) when I used
utf-8 encoding in the sieve filters rules for the
the match strings and the folder names... at least
so far so good... for your ref and sorry for bothering.

Problem in opening filename with space

Hi Folks,
I am trying to open a file located on websphere appserver. file name has a space in between. (e.g. abc xyz.xls)
I could not open the file in netscape and IE both.
Has any one come across such problem?

If the filename is part of an URL, you have to replace the
spaces by plus signs: http://.../.../abc+xyz.xls.

Page Up and Down with space bar

After I installed Safari 3.0.5, when I press the space bar typing this post, the web page goes down. I want to know if somebody else get the same problem, and how do I prevent that? or maybe is a new bug.
With Safari 3.0.4 this keyboard shortcut works ok. (page up and down) but not when typing.
Thanks,

I have the same problem. Everytime i hit the spacebar in this text box, the browser tries to scroll down and looks like flashing.
Is there any fix for this? It happens in every web page with text box (including the google search box).
Thanks in advance.
(I am using the safari version for Windows)

Cannot open files and dirs with spaces from most qt-based applications

Hello,
I noticed that I can't open any file or folder that have spaces in the path because an error pop-up appears stating that there is no such file or directory, the error includes the full path but it's "urlencoded" in the sense that spaces are replaced with "%20".
I experienced this behavior in most qt apps: clementine (open containing folder of a song), retroshare, calibre (try to open a book or its folder). Everything works with gtk: pcmanfm, firefox.
I tried changing the default file manager with xdg-mime (switched from pcmanfm to qtfm) but the result's the same. It really seems that qt is trying to open a urlencoded path and xdg-open produces the error.
Any idea? qtfm works, even if it is a qt application, maybe because it's qt5?

I've used, for this, 3 languages on local-gen
on my config
pt-br
pt-br
en-us
On my tries, the spaces, on real, were "language symbols" thar are incompreensible to my current language, and, turns into inacessible

Find and Replace with space or tab

Hi,
I have a text file that has commas separating values. I saved it as a csv, but am not getting the results I need with the csv file. I'd like to replace the commas with a space or a tab.
I know how to use find replace, but I do not know how to indicate these non-printing characters. I tried the ascii code &#32 for space, but i simply get that string of characters replacing my commas.
ANy help?
Thanks

KW,
You didn't say what program you were using for the Find and Replace, but I'd suggest that Pages would be your best bet. Spaces can be typed-in directly, and several other non-printing characters can be inserted from a drop-down menu.
The Insert drop-down seems to be available only in Pages, as opposed to Numbers and TextEdit.

Doc.saveAs() and filenames with commas

Using Acrobat 9, I have convinced myself that commas confuse the innards of the doc.saveAs() function. For example, from the console, the following throws an error:
this.saveAs("john, jimmy.pdf");
the error: "UnsupportedValueError: Value is unsupported. ===> Parameter cPath."
I am more than a little stunned. It's been more than 10 years since the major operating systems allowed commas in the path.
Am I overlooking something trivially obvious?

Thanks for that link to the "wish forum".
I have reported failure to accept commas in the path as a bug.
I'll keep this question open for just a little longer.
Does anybody know of any tricky escape character sequences that might solve the problem? I have failed with "\," and various ideas for nested quotes.

How do I enter a path with spaces

In creating a special mail alert there is an option to enter a file to execute. If I put the file in my C;/Program Files (86)... it wont execute because of the spaces. How do I enter the path and filename with spaces. YES, I have tried all sorts of "s and they don't seem to work. Can you give an example.

I usually find that if use the offered option to browse to the file using the browser/picker provided, all this is taken care of. Thunderbird will use a technique widely emplyed on the web, where spaces are encoded as %20. Other potentially troublesome characters such as slashes and colons will get similar treatment.
As an aside, 20 is hexadecimal for the decimal value 32, which is the standard value in ASCII and many other encodings for the space character. So %20 is a particular notation that advises that the character with hexadecimal value 20 is to be used.
In general "C:\Program Files\example\example.txt" ought to work too.
But your problem may be specific to the particular context. I have had a long standing issue where I want to send a link to a file on a shared network drive and the link sent via Thunderbird has refused to work as an active link. The recipient generally had to copy and paste the provided pathname. This seems to have resolved itself in a recent update of Thunderbird. If you're using an add-on then the problem may be inherent in that add-on, or in a rather obscure difficulty with giving the Thunderbird process access permission to work with local files.
