Banner Login ASCII Text

hi all,
i'm just wondering if we could do fancy ASCII text/art on ASA's banner.
i tried to do the same as my other devices but it's doesn't accept it.
ASA5505(config)# banner login +-----------------------------------------------$

guys,
i tried to do as advised but it seems not working.
i'm using teraterm, not sure if it's related to the SSH client used.
should i use banner motd instead?

- edit: nevermind, it's due to SSH access. i tried what jouni suggested to use either banner motd or banner exec.
i ended up using banner motd and it displays nicely now. thanks for all your help!

How can I remove ASCII text from a field when I use it in a query

How can I remove ASCII text from a field when I use it in a query?
I am running a select statement on a table that appears to have ASCII text in some of the fields. If I use these fields in the where statement like the code below nothing returns:
SELECT FIELD1 FROM TABLE1 WHERE FIELD1 IS NULL
But the field looks empty if I do a straight select without the where clause. Additionally, one of the fields has text but appears to be padded out with ASCII text, which I need to strip out before I can use this field in a where or join statement. I have tried using a trim, ltrim, rtrim, to_char, nvl, decode and nothing works. When I use excel to run the same query it looks as if these ASCII fields are boxes.
I have asked our DBA team to see what they can do to prevent these from going into the table, but in the mean time I still need to run this report.
Do you have any suggestions?

Can you provide an example? I've been trying (for
example) "select translate(' test one', ascii(' '),
'X') from dual" with no luck.
Thank you.To replace space, you should query like this:
select translate(' test one', chr(32), 'X') from dual instead of select translate(' test one', ascii(' '), 'X') from dual Thanks,

How Do I Save an ASCII Text File?

In the Windoze world, Notepad is a simple editor that saves text strictly in ASCII format. Clean, not embellishments or tags. Sometimes it needs to be that way.
What do I use to save ASCII text on a Mac? Somebody at the Apple store told me the answer is TextEdit, but when I went to save a file just now my choices were rich text (.rtf), HTML, Word format, or XML. No ASCII in the bunch.
So, is there a program on here that does what Notepad does? Is there one out there somewhere...??
--PS

I forgot to mention, that this can also be set in the Preferences of Textedit to be the default setting:
use plain text; add .txt extension when saving.
I think that's all I needed to hear -- I've looked at the preferences for TextEdit and set them the way I think I want them.
Thanks,

Exporting keys as ascii text

How can you export a key as ascii text like an armored key in PGP? But not using PGP?

PGP's ascii-armored text uses Base64 encoding like this example taken from the java almanac:
http://javaalmanac.com/egs/java.security.cert/ExportCert.html
// This method writes a certificate to a file. If binary is false, the
    // certificate is base64 encoded.
    public static void export(java.security.cert.Certificate cert, File file, boolean binary) {
        try {
            // Get the encoded form which is suitable for exporting
            byte[] buf = cert.getEncoded();
            FileOutputStream os = new FileOutputStream(file);
            if (binary) {
                // Write in binary form
                os.write(buf);
            } else {
                // Write in text form
                Writer wr = new OutputStreamWriter(os, Charset.forName("UTF-8"));
                wr.write("-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----\n");
                wr.write(new sun.misc.BASE64Encoder().encode(buf));
                wr.write("\n-----END CERTIFICATE-----\n");
                wr.flush();
            os.close();
        } catch (CertificateEncodingException e) {
        } catch (IOException e) {
    }

Loss of formatting when emailing a AW6 ASCIII Text document

Background: I have taken an .xls email file from a PC user which I was able to open with icExcel. The .xls file was set up wrong---only two columns, surname in one and all other data (street address, city, state, zip, tel., email address) in another column. I created a spreadsheet file in icExcel AWorks6 and did a lot of cutting and pasting from the original file to create a true 7 column spreadsheet. I saved it as an ASCII Text document because my intent is to email it back to the PC user.
Now the dilemma---I can take that ASCII Text document and reopen it in an AW6 spreadsheet or into a database on my computer, no problems. Everything is formatted correctly. When I email the .txt document as an attachment to myself (experimenting first before emailing it to the PC user) it opens up automatically as a word processing document with all the formatting gone. I sent it to another of my email addresses, it did not open up automatically but the attachment came across as an HTTP text unix document file. What is happening to the structure and column formatting when I email the .txt document. What am I doing wrong following putting it into ASCII Text? Help please!! CAB

When you save an AppleWorks spreadsheet as text, you get a tab delimited file.
Data in each cell is followed by a tab character, and a return character separates the rows of data.
Your text file, opened into an AppleWorks WP document, should retain the tab characters, but will not display properly unless you have set tab stops in the ruler. AppleWorks defaults to a tab stop every half inch, and a tab character will push text to the next available stop. Variable length of data will cause data that should line up in the same column to be offset.
You can check for the presence of tabs (and other invisible characters) by pressing command-; (semi colon). Pressing the same keys again toggles the display off.
Try launching AppleWorks then specifying Spreadsheet as the document type when you open it using AW's Open dialogue (File > Open).
If you are successful, then the file should be openable by the PC user, using Excel. Three other notes: Be sure you check the Send Windows friendly attachments box in Mail when attaching the file. Be sure you add the .txt extension to the file name AppleWorks does not automatically add it). Tell the Windows user that the file is a tab delimited text file.

Barry

Newbie: What program to use for just plain ASCII text?

I'm new to Mac and wanting to create a plain ASCII text document (not RTF or else).
In Windows I would use NotePad. What do I use on Mac? I tried "TextEdit" but it didn;t allow me to same it as "plain text" or similar. I want absolutely no formattings in my document.
Thanks.

You can use TextEdit. Just select the Make Plain Text option in the Format menu.

Sp_OAMethod, AttachFile, attachment comes through as ascii text

hey all.
im new to the ASP/SQL scene, so please bare with me.
i have to send an email (with two attachments) through sql server.
the mail arrives, but the attachments are not attachments... they are ascii text in the body. im using an existing stored proc, which apparently works. so there is no reason this shouldn't work.
The file exists, the path is correct. Its obviously seeing and reading the file (otherwise there would be no data to print as ascii)
thanks all.
Also, if you know of a better place where i can post this thread, please let me know

Thanx for your help guys much appreciated.
To answer your question, Bryan, yes, the stored proc works fine when one of the other guys runs it from live server. But we also found that mail based email services like GMail and Fastmail dont interpret the attachments correctly, and thats why they get represented as gobbledy gook.
Well im hopefully nearing the end of this mindnumbing task...
now just to decide how to send an email to 68 contractors... Cursor or Queue?
I know its less desirable, but im opting for Cursor. I dont know how to incorporate the Queue system they already have in place here. There are sprocs calling sprocs, and i dont know what does what.
My next question was going to be what the @@FETCH_STATUS does, exactly. I was gona do a search and see what came up.

Saving Page files as ascii text

How can you save files in pages as text? Exporting to text looses list numbers (rather than treating them a plain numbers.) Printing to pdf, then using Acrobat to save to text gets the line numbers, but still also gets lots of non-printing characters like quotes, etc. What I want is ALL the characters on a page, as plain ascii characters. I don't mind loosing bold, underlines, spacing and so forth, but I'd like to get all the readable stuff.
(I know UNIX, so I tried to use "tr" to get some of the special characters, and to change CR to New Line, but there are too many special characters to be sure of finding them all.)
Thanks for any suggestions.

Yvan:
Well, I'd like to argue with you about this. What you are saying is, of course, correct, FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF A COMPUTER EXPERT!! But Apple Mac had tried to do a particularly good job of being useful to normal people. I'm a computer programmer and a mathematician myself, so I know how we like to talk to each other. BUT I also know it is not normal language. The Macintosh, and Pages, are trying very hard to be useful to non-experts, and I think in this case, they have acted as "techies". If Pages says it will save a document as text, I think it should try to translate everything possible from formatted text to plain text, even to the extent of putting extra lines with dashes for underscored characters, cleaning up backspaces, and so forth. (If you used UNIX in the old days, man pages were printed with a program called troff, but then there was an alternate way to get the output so it would be visible on a plain ascii terminal. That's the kind of thing I'm asking for here.)
You might make an argument that normal people don't need the plain Ascii text that I am asking for, and you may be correct -- though there are enough non-standard programs floating around the computer world that I would think the ability to get very vanilla text would be useful for many people as a workaround.

Banner login/exec on Nexus 7000

Hi chaps,
do you know where did the banner login/exec go on nexus 7000? :-) Are you aware of any way possible to display custom message to all users, following a successful authentication? (e.g. post-authentication and not a motd, which is prior to user auth)
I now only have banner motd command available on 7k9 with NX-OS 6.2(10).
Thanks in advance!
P.s. I am aware that I can possibly do that using RADIUS or TACACS, but I need it for situations where AAA server is unavailable.

Hi Joris,
The rule based SPAN filtering was not introduced until NX-OS 6.2 so will not be available to you with NX-OS 6.1(3).
See the section SPAN in the NX-OS 6.2 release notes.

Newbie needs help on creating banner with vanishing text.

I have never used Flash before. I may even be barking up the wrong tree. I am trying to create a banner that has text that "appears" and then "disappears". This is the mockup I made for the banner. I would like for the sentences to seem like they are coming out of the couds, and then vanishing. Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Margaret

Thanks Ned! I did what you said and now have the words animated like I need to. But I am still having one problem. I'm not sure how to get my background to be visible through the entire animation. I can see it in the first frame and then it disappears.
Thanks again,

Text Login ASCII Art

So, this is a bit of a throwback but I am installing a new laptop with arch and this time instead of using something like Slim I thought maybe I would do a text based login but I want to customize what the login and login prompt display. I remember seeing this in the nineties when I first started using the internet and you could log in on unix servers for certain boards, they would display some ascii art BEFORE login and then MOTD after login. I found MOTD but am not sure how to customize the login screen
As an example:
_.-~7
\\ .^ / _.-~7
\\ /\. _.^ /
________\\ .--" _>-"/ /
`--------\"\ ___ / .-~"_~"/l _.-^-.
\.\" _/7-{ / /'~ ~/_.-"--._ /
/_.-~ \|~~Y Y _// "~-. ~
<"_ __'_I__I | (_/ \\
\_/_.~ j I~-' )Y
">-'Y\//\ _. ( j__
/7--l //"\j|_/// ._ _7 ~"-. Welcome to ____ net!
// "/,^. | 7/--||-~__) \
.// // //"'// l`"~_ Y .-Y ----- INSERT TERMS OF USE STUFF HERE ------
3/ .//_// // ~7` ||--._/ |
3/ L/ _// /` /|| !
L/ /` / !j /
i /` / // /
l\ /` '_// .^
\"--"` L/ _.-~
"-.____.--"~
Username: _
Thanks for the help

You may acheive a MOTD at login by editing /etc/motd, here is an example in the wiki. A quick Google search also turned up this page which has a fairly detailed instructions on how to acheive an ASCII MOTD.

Why does non-ASCII text display improperly?

One of the things that has long baffled me about OS X is the occasionally improper display of text on web sites. Sometimes, though less than before, the Mac still can't properly diplay non-ASCII characters. Today, for instance, I bought a GPS from Amazon, and the word nüvi has junk characters where the umlaut "ü" should be, as the text image below should show. Why is this? Is there a setting that corrects the problem?

How to flow a tagged ASCII text onto a unstructured FrameMaker 10 template?

Hi,
I have large amount of tagged ASCII content in hand, something like this
<title>Chapter title
<h1>Heading 1
<p>paragraph text
<bib>some thext
On the other hand, I also have a FrameMaker 10 unstructured template where title, h1, p, bib, etc style elements are already defined.
Please suggest me a way to flow my text onto the template, which my page composition makes easy.
I am looking forward to hear from you.
Thanks,
Arul

With your current mark-up style (as shown in the original posting), all you would need to do is to add two statements to the start of your file, e.g.
<MML>
<Include "formats.mml">
<title>Chapter title
<h1>Heading 1
<p>paragraph text
<bib>some thext
and create a file called formats.mml that contains DefineTag statements listing exactly the styles that you've used to mark-up the text and that correspond to the catalog entries in your template, e.g.
<MML>
<!DefineTag title>
<!DefineTag h1>
<!DefineTag p>
<!DefineTag bib>
etc.
Then in your template file that already has the predefined styles, File > Import > File and select the data file.
When FM imports the MML file, the included formats.mml file tells FM that the tags already exist in the template and to apply them to the content as it comes in. Note: if you have many of these source files using the same template, you will only need one copy of this formats file.
Note: to separate paragraphs (if not tagged with a preceding <p> or whatever), you must use two or more consecutive return characters, so this might be another minor modification to your input stream depending upon the tagging consistency.
Any "transformation" for your content appears to very minor/trivial from what you've shown so far. Otherwise, I am not aware of any other method of getting the contnt in AS IS without some work up front to transform it to a format that FM can decipher.

Converting ASCII text (byte array ending in null) to a String

Hi all,
I am trying to convert a null terminated ascii string stored in a byte array to a java String. When I pass the byte array to the String constructor it
does not detect/interpret the null as a terminator for the ascii string. Is this something I have to manually program in? ie Check for where the null is and then
pass that subarray of everything before the null to the String constructor?
example of problem
// A B C D null F (note F is junk in the array, and should be ignored since it is after null)
byte[] asciiArray = { 65, 66, 67, 68, 0, 70 };
System.out.println(new String(asciiArray, "UTF-8"));
//this prints ABCD"sqare icon"F

Why do you expect the null character to terminate the string? If you come from a C or C++ background, you need to understand that java.lang.String is not just a mere character array. It's a full-fledged Java object that knows its length without having any need for null terminator. So Ascii 0 is just another character for String object. To achieve what you want to do, you have to manually loop through the byte array and stop when you encounter a null character.
