CFFTP character encoding / character set

I have a strange problem with downloaded text file using
cfftp at my client site. When I test on my development site, the
downloaded text file is readable. But in the production server at
my client in austria, the downloaded text file is not readable at
all. When I open the file in notepad, it's like a binary file with
a lot of special chars.
I already set the transfermode manually to ascii but still
the same. I already look for character set option for cfftp but it
seems like it doesn't have it. Does anyone know a solution for my
problem?
Btw, my client server is a linux machine, and i think the
default language is germany.
Thanks before,
Tiono

I tried both binary and ASCII transfermode already but result
is the same. When my client download the file directly using FTP
client and open the file, he can read the content.
I'll mail to you the FTP login information since it's a
classified info.
Thanks and best regards,
Tiono

Character encoding again

Hi, i havent got any answer so i try to ask again...
I have created a page from Data Controls.
I have created parameter form. And table. Detail is showed at the bottom of page (there is shown current row through #bindings. . .
Everything works fine when i fill something into parameter form table is filtered by that criteria, when current row is changed, the detail is also changed. But when i fill some czech character into parametr form it works pretty bad.
The table is correctly filtered but when i make any other action after filtering, the table shows no rows.
I found what cause this problem. It is the Property in bindings that holds value for this parameter. When i first call bindings.findXXX.execute the Propertys value is "č" for example. That is correct and table shows filtered rows. After i perform another action (i think it is not dependent what the action is, but change current row fow example) the value in that Property has changed to "?" instead of "č" and because of this filter is applied again and table shows no rows. I have checked all encoding and character encoding is set to utf-8. Is this the problem and i miss some settings ?

is there other ? i dont know i set this settings long ago ...
Please if someone know, give me some hint , thanks for help.

check regional language settings on your machiner where u r application server is running. I faced this problem but was able to resolve by modifying the
NLS_LANG = AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1
NLS_LANG is under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE==>ORACLE
WE8ISO8859P1 is the standard encoding for my application developed in local indian language and works fine for me

Can character encoding be predefined for certain pages?

Certain pages that I visit frequently require me to manually set my character encoding to Western (ISO Latin 1), both when my default character encoding is set as UTF-8 and Western (ISO Latin 1).
As the pages that show up malformed are embedded in other frames I suspect that the top frame forces a different encoding than is on the embedded page.
An example page is here (847.is). The topic list of this message board is in order, but when any one of the topics is viewed all accented and special characters are missing, until Western (ISO Latin 1) is manually set as the character encoding. Similarly, opening any of the topics in a tab will result in missing characters.
Is there some way for me to circumvent having to go through all those menus to set it? Can I somehow define that these pages should be viewed in Western (ISO Latin 1) or can I set a keyboard shortcut for Western (ISO Latin 1)?
MacBook 2006 Mac OS X (10.4.7) Safari version 2.0.4
MacBook 2006 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

For instance if I opened
an entry on Vísindavefur
HÍ out
of the parent frame the accented letters would
show up somehow mangled, but this is no longer a
problem.
That page has no charset in the source and thus should only display correctly if you have Latin-1 set as the browser default. With UTF-8 set as the default you should see (in Safari) a ton of black diamonds with question marks inside.
Firefox never displays ð (eth), þ (thorn) and ý
(accented y) correctly for me, did not do it on the
old machine and does not do it on this one either,
FireFox displays them perfectly for me in both 10.3 and 10.4.
Actually, if I set Opera encoding to UTF-8 it
displays the topics on 847.is as Safari does.
This indicates it is a system issue rather than Safari. Sorry I can't duplicate it and have no good idea what could cause it on a normal system. Have you (or the place where you buy your machines) by chance installed any special software add-ons to enable the use of non-Unicode Icelandic (for apps like Appleworks, WordX, etc)?

Change character encoding?

Edit > Preferences > New Document > Character
encoding is set to UTF-8
However when I edit documents with non-standard extensions
(I'm working on PHP files with a .ctp extension) the document still
seems to save in iso-8859-1 format. This problem doesn't seem to
occur on files with .php/html extensions.
Does anyone know of a solution to this problem?
Thanks,

I'm not sure where you are getting %xx encoded UTF-8.... Is it cuz you have it in a GET method form and that's what you are seeing in the browser's location bar? ...
Let's assume you have a form on a page, and the page's charset is set to UTF-8, and you want to generate a URL encoded string (%xx format, although URLEncoder will not encode ASCII chars that way...).
In the page processing the form, you need to do this:
request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8"); // makes bytes read as UTF-8 strings(assumes that the form page was properly set to the UTF-8 charset)
String fieldValue = request.getParameter("fieldName"); // get value
// the value is now a Unicode String in Java, generated from reading the bytes submitted from the form as UTF-8 encoded text...
String utf8EncString = URLEncoder.encode(fieldValue, "UTF-8");
// now utf8EncString is a URL encoded (%xx) string of UTF-8 values
String euckrEncString = URLEncoder.encode(fieldValue, "EUC-KR");
// now euckrEncString is a URL encoded (%xx) string of EUC-KR valuesWhat is probably screwing things up for you mostly is this:
euckrValue = new String(utf8Value.getBytes(), "EUC-KR");
What this does is takes the bytes of the string utf8Value (which is not really UTF-8... see below) in the local encoding (possibly Cp1252 (Windows) or ISO8895-1 (Linux), or EUC-KR if it's Korean Windows), and then reads them as if they were EUC-KR... which they aren't.
The key here is that Strings in Java are not of any encoding. They are pure Unicode values. Encodings only matter when converting to or from bytes. The strings stored in a file or sent over the net have to convert to bytes since that's what is stored/sent, just bytes. The encoding defines how the characters can be encoded into 1 or more bytes, and thus reconstructed.

Seeing � etc despite having View--Character encoding as unicode and auto-detect universal

On viewing some web pages see characters such as �, , (for example). But View-Character Encoding is set at Unicode (UTF-8) or Western (ISO8859-1) and Tools-Options-Content-Fonts-Advanced Encoding set with either of those

example of page:
http://scienceofdoom.com/2010/09/17/on-missing-the-point-by-chilingar-et-al-2008/
- a little over half way down, the section headed "Anthropogenic Imact on the Earth’s Climate – Tiny" from paragraph "And continue: " there are these non-characters in the equation (12) and subsequently.
Another page : http://www.zimbabwesituation.com/sep26_2010.html in the topic " Red warning lights" .
Most web-pages I read are without problem.
I contacted the writer of the first page and s/he had no idea why it happens.

Importance of character encoding?

I am making a list of errors in someone else's code. What about this:
outline of existing code
byte[] binaryMssg = "sync/ack".getBytes(); // client
--- DataOutputStreamtream --->
String mssg = new String(byte[] buf); // server
proposed correction:
byte[] binaryMssg = "sync/ack".getBytes(Charset.forName("UTF-16")); // client
--- DataOutputStream --->
String mssg = new String(byte[] buf, Charset.forName("UTF-16")); // server
The original developer omitted character encoding.
I have zero knowledge/experience with character encoding. I only just noticed method overloads that optionally use them. I don't want to look stupid by putting what is really a non-issue on my list. I don't want to look like a jerk and draw attention to something that, in real world usage, is a non-issue. Otherwise, just to be thorough, I would like to put it on my list. I think it might create more robust code? Any comments welcomed.
Finally, I was so surprised to notice Charset is in the nio package and so not available until v1.4. This hints character encodings where not a prioriry for the Java development team. So, since they did not consider it important, perhaps neither should I. While there may be niches for character encoding usage, the normal-case rule is to not use explicit character encoding.

Any comments welcomed.It is correct to define the character encoding to be used if the bytes are being transferred from one computer to another since the two machines may have a different default character encoding.

How to set the system default file character encoding to UTF-8?

Hi all. This is driving me nuts, on both my Windows box and Snow Leopard; I figure much more chance of finding the answer for OS X.
My language and locale are set to Australian English. $LANG=en_AU.UTF-8
However, as I believe is expected, OS X (and Windows for that matter) will create files by default with character encoding of Cp1252 (Latin-1). That is, the FILE encoding in the file metadata - the Byte Order Mark I believe. The file itself, not the characters written to it.
This, in a word, bites. I don't want to be restricted to only ASCII by default, and it is causing me problems with certain software (a Firefox plugin) that creates text files, passing in UTF-8 encoded content, which is then mangled because the file encoding itself is still Cp1252. (I know, I've tested this by changing the file encoding manually and having it overwritten again by the plugin: works correctly.)
As a simple example, just `touch somefile` from terminal creates a file in Cp1252 -- I'm obtaining that info by opening in jEdit by the way (anyone know of something better?).
In other locales that are not English-based, I believe the default file encoding is UTF-8. But surely this can be controlled independently? There must be a system configuration value somewhere that specifies file encoding default. Can someone please tell me what it is?
Thanks!

Apps like TextEdit and Mail have settings that let you determine the encoding of text produced. The default would normally depend on the character content of the file, ranging from ASCII for basic English to Windows Latin-1 (Win 1252) or ISO Latin -1 (ISO 8859-1) to UTF-8 for other content.
Win 1252 is not ASCII, but has twice the number of characters in the latter.
Byte Order Mark is something totally different --it's a particular character used to signal certain encodings.

For what Terminal does and how to change it, it might best to post in the Unix forum:
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=735
For problems with a FireFox plugin, it might be good to ask on their own forums as well.

Thanks for that information!
I'm sure I will be calling AppleCare, but the problem is, they charge for the phone calls don't they? Because I don't have money to be spending to be on the phone with a support service.
In other things, it seemed like the only time my MacBook was working was when I had Snow Leopard without the 10.6.8 update download that was supposed to be done to prepare for OS X Lion.
When I look at the information of my HD it says that I have 10.6.8 but that was the install that it claimed to have failed and caused me to restart resulting in all of the repeated problems.
Also, because my computer is currently down, and I've lost all files how would that effect the use of my iPhone? Because if it doesn't get fixed by the time OS 5 is released, how would I be able to upgrade?!

Setting character encoding in a Writer

Hi,
Is this possible?
I'm reading from an InputStream (stream from a text file) using an InputStreamReader wrapped in a BufferedReader. I set the character encoding in the InputStreamReader.
Then I read line by line - making some modifications in the text and writing (appending)
each line into a new file (using a FileWriter wrapped in a BufferedWriter).
I can't seem to set the character encoding in any of the Writer.
Firstly, do I need to specify the encoding to 'keep' the correct encoding?
And if so, what writer should I use?

Yes you need to specify the encoding. Use an OutputStreamWriter in much the same way as you used the InputStreamReader.

How to set a platform's default character encoding

You do 0mean for Java, not from Java? (The latter would make absolutely no sense at all.) If so, pass it to the runtime using the -D switch (you've got SUN's java, right?):

How I set character encoding for everypage and alway?

I use Thai window 874 open the page when I select some website it contain Thai then click open new tab it change to western windows 1252. It can not display Thai. I must set character encoding to Thai windows 874 everytime.

Try this:
Prefrences -> Content -> Fonts & Color -> Advanced
At the bottom, choose your Encoding.

Setting DEFAULT character encoding ???

To set the default character encoding to UTF-8 for JVM I can do the
following on Solaris:
LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8; java ....
How do I achieve the same on Windows?
Is there a java property where I can specify the default character
encoding or do I have to getBytes( str, "UTF-8") everywhere?
Thanks,
Artur...

Hi Artur,
there is a way. The property is file.encoding. Example:
import java.io.*;
public class ShowEncoding {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Default encoding: " +
new InputStreamReader(System.in).getEncoding());
}On my system I get the following results:
java ShowEncoding Default encoding: Cp1252
java -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 ShowEncoding Default encoding: UTF8
java -Dfile.encoding=Latin1 ShowEncoding Default encoding: ISO8859_1I don't know, if setting this property using the -D argument is documented or implementation-independendent. But so far, it was working for me. For setting the locale, you may use the properties user.language and user.region. But this is undocumented and implementation-dependendent.
I wouldn't use these properties at all. I would rather specify the encoding in all constructors. Probably using an application property file.
Good luck!
Marcus.

Setting Character encoding programmaticaly?

Hi,
I am using Sun J2ME wireless toolkit 2.1, and i have a problem with characer encoding. I am receiving text from a .NET web service, and after some processing in the client, i send the string back.
The problem is, the string i am sending back includes Turkish characters. These are sent as question marks instead of characters.
I have failed to find a method that changes the character encoding used while making a web service call.
Actually, i could not see any way to change the encoding overall. For the emulator, property file can be used, but what about the devices i'll be deploying the app? It'd be really great if someone could point me in the right direction.
Best Regards

Hi,
My situation is as follows. I have .NET web services on the server side, and i am using mobile devices as clients. When i get a string from method A in web service , i can display it on the device screen without a problem. after that, if i send the same string that i've received from method A as a parameter to method B, the .NET code receives garbage instead of turkish chars.
At the moment i am encoding turkish chars at the client side, and decoding them at the .net web server processing code.
I'd like to try setting the encoding to utf8, but as i have written, i have not seen any way of doing this. Changing properties file for emulator is possible, but how can i do it for the target devices. I have not seen an api call for this purpose in midp or cldc docs. Thanks for your answer
Regards
