Can the ibwrt function send the escape character

I am trying to write to an older GPIB device. The command is ME000000000
I have put the following command in my VB program
call ibwrt (0,8,sendstr,NLEND) where sendstr is
sendstr=chr$(27) & "ME000000000" & chr$(13)
Is this correct?

This older instrument may not respond to an EOI line. It may still be expecting an End-of-String (EOS) character. If a carriage-return is not the EOS, then maybe a line-feed is necessary. Otherwise it looks right.
If in doubt, use NI-Spy to see what is being sent over the bus.

Can Linux recognize the escape character?

Hi,
It's possible that this problem doesn't belong here. But please give it a try.
I am developing an project using JSP. It includes image uploading. after image uploading, I use a javascript function popUp(url, ...) to open a new window and display this image. The very strange thing is that, sometimes the link can work, open a new window and display the image while sometimes the link can't work, or it only works for one time, then it fails. I couldn't find the reason yet. it works on IE, and not on Netscape and also not work on Linux OS while do work on Window2000. Can somebody take a look at the following link and tell me how to change it to make sure it is work on Linux OS and netscape. What's the difference between OS and windows to specify a String(that is, url of a link). The linux OS seems interperte \" to ", so it cannot recognize the full url.
The link is :
imageLink[i] = "<a href='showForm' onclick=\"popUp('" + request.getContextPath() + "/displayForm.jsp?filename=" + sdb.getImageFileName(i)+"&fileDesc=" +sdb.getImageDesc(i) + "', 'showForm', '600', '450', 'yes'); return false;\">"+sdb.getImageDesc(i)+"</a>";
Thanks in advance!

Linux will recognize the escape character. It looks like you might have other difficulties with your imageLink tag. For example, I think you need to use tags when you use Java inside your html or javascript..
onclick=\"popUp(" + <%= request.getContextPath() %> + "/displayform.jsp?...

What is the escape character for DOT in java regex?

How to specify a dot character in a java regex?
. itself represents any character
\. is an illegal escape character

The regex engine needs to see \. but if you're putting it into a String literal in a .java file, you need to make it \\., as Rene said. This is because the compiler also uses \ as an escape character, so it will take the first \ as escaping the second one, and remove it, and the string that gets passed onto the regex will be \.

How to use escape character in update statement.

Hi All,
I'm trying to update table using following sql update statement, but everytime it's asking me for the input due to the '&' value in below sql.
UPDATE xyz_xyz
   SET NAME = 'ABC & PQR'
WHERE ID = (SELECT ID
               FROM abc_abc
              WHERE NAME = 'C & PQR');Please let me know how to use escape character syntax or let me know if there is any alternative solution.
Thanks,
Vishwas

Hi,
By default, & marks a substitution variable name.
If you're not using substitution variables in that statement (or, if this is in PL/SQL, in that entire package or procedure) then the easiest thing to do is just diable substitution variables; then & will be a normal character:
SELECT DEFINE OFF
UPDATE xyz_xyz
   SET NAME = 'ABC & PQR'
WHERE ID = (SELECT ID
               FROM abc_abc
              WHERE NAME = 'C & PQR');
SET DEFINE ONIf you can't do that, then & is always taken literally if it comes right before a single-quote, so you could say:
UPDATE xyz_xyz
   SET NAME = 'ABC &' || ' PQR'
WHERE ID = (SELECT ID
               FROM abc_abc
              WHERE NAME = 'C &' || ' PQR');There is a SQL*Plus "SET ESCAPE" command, too, but if you use it, you have to worry about whether the escape character is to be taken literally or not.
SET   ESCAPE \Yet another alternative is to make some other character, such as ~, mark the substitution variables:
SET DEFINE ~Read all about them in the SQL*Plus manual.

Escape character for apostrophe ' in JDBC receiver channel

Hi all,
We have Proxy to JDBC scenario in our project. This interface is working fine with unicode data but when there is an apostrophe( ' ) coming in any of the field values ( ex: DOWTHERM 'J' MODEL19QAGB1G ) , the message is failing in receiver JDBC channel.
can anyone please tell us how to handle single quote in JDBC receiver channel.
I have read in SAP help documentation that apostrophe is a reserved character in SQL syntax and is therefore replaced by an escape character if it occurs within value strings. There is a option to JDBC receiver communication channel under "SQL SYNTAX PARAMETER" to specify the escape character for apostrophe.
Can any please tell us which value needs to be maintained in the channel to avoid this error.
Regards
Jagruthi

Hi Prateek,
Thanks a lot for you inputs.
This issue is solved now. We have replaced single quote with two single quotes and then did the hasQuote mapping as described in the blog.
/people/prateek.srivastava3/blog/2009/04/02/unicode-handling-for-ms-sql-server
No value needs to be maintained in channel(SQL SYNTAX PARAMETER ).
But just want to understand the difference between replacing the ' with '' in mapping and using SQL SYNTAX PARAMETER option in communication channel.
Both should ideally result in same output. But it didnu2019t work when we tried with two single quotes in SQL SYNTAX PARAMETER (Escape Symbol for Apostrophe) in communication channel without doing anything in mapping.

Escape Character in ODBC Connections?? HELP!

Hi All,
I have a problem : we have a C++ app here that is supposed to attach to an Oracle 8i or 9i database here via a standard ODBC connection.
When this app attempts to do something like this:
INSERT INTO MyTable (MyRow) Values('[testing]')
it fails - it does not like the square brackets in the command. when I copy this into SQL Plus, of course, it runs just fine.
the ODBC link also doesn't like this:
INSERT INTO MyTable (MyRow) Values('/[testing/]') either
or this:
INSERT INTO MyTable (MyRow) Values('[[testing]]') either
or this:
INSERT INTO MyTable (MyRow) Values('`testing`') either
in fact, it appears the following are all reserved characters that oracle's ODBC driver can't handle:
` ' " \ / [ ]
My questions are :
1) Can I find a definitive list of these (Oracle documentation is good on reserved WORDS, but poor on reserved CHARACTERS)
2) what can I use to set an escape character within my ODBC SQL? Is this something I can tweak on the ODBC DSN cofiguration? I know in SQL*Plus you can just say
SET ESCAPE ON
SET ESCAPE "\"
But you can't do that on every SQL Query getting sent through ODBC can you?
Please help!
I

Thanks, but thats not really answering the two
questions I posed, is it? Well you are asking the wrong questions.
The quoted example was just
that, an example. The actual app is calling stored
procedures and not doing simple SQL statements. Using
bound variables is not really an option because the
number and type of parameters being sent down change
continually. This is no reason to not use bind variables. If you do not use bind variables and this is an OLTP database then scaling will not be an option for your application. It can also raise potential security holes due to SQL injection.
The site you quoted is to do with
obtaining recordsets back from stored procedures. We
do not need to obtain recordsets back from stored
procedures. Yes and it also shows how to bind input variables in ODBC calls, does the presence of record sets somehow render this invisible?
>
shall I repeat myself:-
My questions are :
1) Can I find a definitive list of these (Oracle
documentation is good on reserved WORDS, but poor on
reserved CHARACTERS)
As you can run the command in SQL*Plus it should indicate that it is not a reserved character as far as Oracle is concerned. Therefore looking in the Oracle documentation will not get you anywhere. You will need to refer to the documentation for your ODBC driver and the ODBC specification.
2) what can I use to set an escape character within
my ODBC SQL? Is this something I can tweak on the
ODBC DSN cofiguration? I know in SQL*Plus you can
just say
SET ESCAPE ON
SET ESCAPE "\"
I must admit I don't know.

Using Escape character for Multi character delimiter for flat files in IKM

Hi
I have an IKM using Jython, it is working fine for single character delimiter. But as per requirement I have to use multicharacter delimiter ;" (semi colon and double quotes).
I am taking this into variable using
filesep = "<%=snpRef.getSrcTablesList("", "[SFILE_SEP_FIELD]", "", "")%>"
but it is giving lexical error.
Can anybody help me with the use of escape character in current scenario?
Any other suggestions are also appreciated.
Thanks
Ankit

Hello,
A small tweak may solve your problem:
Instead of :
CONCATENATE wa_condstr ' bukrs = ' pa_bukrs INTO wa_condstr SEPARATED BY space.
Use:
CONCATENATE wa_condstr ' bukrs = ' 'PA_BUKRS' INTO wa_condstr SEPARATED BY space.
Then use this in SELECT.
Anyways for your answer the escape character for apostrophe is an apostrophe )
Try this you will understand:
DATA:
V_STR TYPE STRING VALUE ''''.
WRITE: V_STR.

Why isn't SQL+ liking my escape character?

I'm trying to right a script that utiilizes the escape character in the PROMPT statement.
I have tried to reset the escape character to * or ! and the output comes out funky.
Here's what happens:
ttThis is the original.
This output is the result of the lines:
SET ESCAPE !
PROMPT !t!tThis is the original.
What seems to be the problem? Can someone please help?

SET ESCAPE sets a charater that will escape the special meaning of some characters in sqlplus.
SQL> SELECT 'Ben & Jerry' FROM dual;
Enter value for jerry:
SQL> SET ESCAPE \
SQL> SELECT 'Ben \& Jerry' FROM dual;
'BEN&JERRY'
Ben & JerryI'm not aware of any way to "format" the output of PROMPT, since sqlplus always trims the spaces.

Escape character before dot in dn entry after OID provisioning

Our OIM users are auto provisioned to OID using out of box OID connector. Everything works fine other than this issue.
When value for OIM's "User login" contain the character dot (say BILLY.BOB) , the corresponding dn entry in OID is created with an escape character (dn: uid=BILLY\.BOB,cn=users,dc=abc,dc=com) .
Example :
OIM's 'User Login' = BILLY.BOB
OID Entry created as
dn: uid=BILLY\.BOB,cn=users,dc=abc,dc=com
givenName: Billy
uid: BILLY.BOB
cn: Billy Bob
Note that the uid does not get the escape character, only the dn value is getting affected.
Thanks in advance!

You need to remove . in the Lookup defintion which comes with OOTB connector.

New (last night) 4s. at home everything works but at the office, I can't seem to send or receive emails. Don't know about texts yet. I manually connected to my company's wi-fi network, have internet access and a good signal. The phone function works

Just set up my 4s last night - works fine at home but can't get or send email at the office. Wi-fi connection working and signal is good and telephone and Internet functions working. Manually set to my company's wi-fi.

Your company has most likely blocked the ports necessary to connect to mail servers outside the corporate network. Shut off WiFi and see if it works. If it does, you'll need to talk to your IT department about it.
Odds are they are not going to change the policy without a valid business reason to do so.

How can I change the termination character (Hex 00) in LabVIEW?

I'm talking to a 3rd party device over USB where I make function calls to their DLL. I send and receive Hex commands as Strings data type. I can send without problem however when I read back a string that should be Hex "FF 00 FF", I get back "FF" because LabVIEW sees 00 as a termination character so I don't get any data past the 00. Likewise if I'm supposed to read "00 FF", I get back nothing! The following KB linked below explains that LabVIEW sees 00 as a termination character. It shows where using Serial to change the termination character to something else. I don't have this option using my 3rd party USB device. Is there a way to change what LabVIEW sees as it's termination character?
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/9A3589A05F21A1B186256CE9006448D4

That article is talking about two things. The first has to do with the fact that in C strings are terminated using 0x00. The second part has to do with a serial port read terminating once it sees 0x00. Based on what you described, I don't believe the second part does not apply to you since you are calling a third-party DLL, so it's doing the serial port read. Is this correct? Or, are you actually doing the serial port read yourself using VISA functions? If you are just calling their DLL, then the issue has to do with the string being passed back from the DLL to LabVIEW. You're probably passing in a string datatype. You should simply change this to a byte array so you get all the values.

The Java plugin has created a time unfriendly issue with my e-mail account, I can not open or send any e-mail without using this plugin, how can I eliminate this problem without dropping m. firefox?

A few days ago I tried to e-mail a friend, when I started A box came up and it required me to add a plugin..Java. I contacted my e-mail courier and microsoft, they told me that is was a plugin from Mozilla Firefox. Since then I must go through Java to send or open an e-mail... this is NOT to my satisfaction, it takes too long for all of this to open and if it is not cleared , I am dropping Mozilla and going elsewhere. Why has this occurred? Is this a result of the last update? If so can I delete the last update and continue on the other version?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== last week

Sorry, I have no idea what you mean by '''"The Java plugin has created a time unfriendly issue with my e-mail account, I can not open or send any e-mail without using this plugin,"'''.
If you think your problem is caused by the Java plugin, you should visit the Java support forum for assistance.
http://forum.java.sun.com/index.jspa
If you could explain what you mean by '''"time unfriendly''' issue with my e-mail account", maybe we'll be able to help you solve that issue.
It might be helpful for us if we knew exactly which web-mail provider you are using. It seems strange to me that viewing or sending web-mail would actually "need" Java for operation, its more likely that some other item on the web page needs Java to run some advertising or other garbage that isn't a necessary part of the web-mail functionality you want to use.

How can I stop the last character of my password from being displayed?

Sorry, I'm sure this would have been asked before, but I couldn't locate it..
When unlocking my iPad, how can I stop it from displaying the last character of my password to everyone in the vicinity? This has got to be the fastest way to find out someone's password (just look at the screen as they type their 'secure' password!?). Having the iPad display your password letter by letter is really not acceptable when working in a non-secure environment.
Is there a setting somewhere, or will this be addressed in a new iOS, or just ignored as a 'that's the way it is'?
Thanks in advance,
Andy

Hi,
This may have been the way it has been on iOS since 2008 (not sure about that though), however I know (based on working in the IT industry for 20 years) that nobody on this planet can successfully argue that it would be 'acceptable security practice', for me to display 'every last letter' as I type of a secure 'root' password on my screen every day when you log in... Nobody would think it acceptable to display even their LAN/Domain password on the screen in this same manner. So why is iOS different?!
iOS on a phone (it used to be argued) doesn't need to be very secure as it is almost entirely phone numbers and email addresses that are being stored. However in recent years when the applications got better, and tablets came out, security became a much bigger issue as more and more people started using the functions of 'smart' phones to store more 'sensitive' data.
Kind regards,
Andy
Are you suggesting that someone looking over your shoulder can't see the keys that you're tapping with your fingers? In the interest of security, i would never, under any circumstances, enter a password when others are around.

Can I enter the 'wait' character in a phone number in Contacts?

I am accustomed to being able to enter a 'pause' character and a 'wait' character when entering phone numbers in my phone's address book.
'pause' causes the phone to pause a certain number of seconds (typically 2 or 4) before sending the characters which follow it. 'wait' causes the phone not to send the characters which follow it until you press the send button again.
On the iPhone, the 'pause' character is a comma (on my old Motorola RAZR it displayed as a 'p' in the phone number entry).
But I can't find a way to enter the 'wait' character (on my old Moto RAZR it displayed as a 'w'). Is there a way to do this?
Bur Davis.

There is no "wait" character for the iPhone, and I miss it also.
