Character Count Bug? (IDCS4 WinXPSP3)

Here's a little bug. Apologies if it's been mentioned before.
The Info palette tells you how many characters your selection contains. If you select the word "hello" the Info p. says: "Characters: 5"
If you select an entire line that happens to contains a foontnote marker, the character count includes all the characters in the footnote itself. So while an average line might have 70 characters, a line containing a footnote might appear as though it has 1000 characters or more (depending on the length of the footnote).
Now, as scripters will be aware (and please correct me if I'm wrong), the footnote marker is the parent of the footnote text. So that's probably where the bug comes in.
But I don't think this should be reflected in the Info palette.
Thanks,
Ariel

  • E7 SMS character count bug

    belle introduced, amongst painful others, an SMS character count bug, where, when you type an SMS with the hardware keyboard, the SMS character count is not displayed. it is displayed only when you type using the onscreen keyboard.
    recently e7 received a calendar fix. any idea whether the SMS character count bug fix has been issued?

    Hi DDeridex & metal_might
    Have you tried to re-install the software of your devices using Nokia Suite? If not yet, maybe worth trying. Go to Tools > Software Updates > Re-install.

  • Textarea character count feature quirk/bug

    Apex 4.1.1.00.23
    I've found a quirky thing about the textarea page item. The character count feature counts carriage-return-line-feed (CRLF) as one character, as you would expect it to, but it's stored as two characters in the database because of the way Windows handles new lines.
    So, aside from using clob columns or explaining to users how Windows handles CRLF characters, any thoughts on how one might manage this quirk?

    Create a Post-Submit Computation on the item that replaces CR/LF with LF...

  • Script that will show the character count of all carriage resturns

    I have found a bug when exporting an indd to idml. If a a carriage return falls in a character count that is a multiple of 8000 + 1 it is converted to a paragraph separator (u2029). I am in the process of mass exporting around 3000 files to idml for a project. I am trying to come up with a way with a script to check the files to see if carriage returns exist in these locations. I am fairly new to scripting and don't know how this would be done. I know it is possible to get character counts but is it possible to check if a character exists in a certain character count from the beginning of a story? Any help on this would be appreciated.
    Also has anyone else ran into this with exporting to idml? I have submitted a bug report. This is can be recreated across multiple computers, OS's and versions of InDesign.

    @Blujely – about your initial question about showing a specific character at an n-th position in a story, you could use a simple GREP search in InDesign and restrict that search to a specific story (e.g. the story of a selected piece of text):
    Search for the n-th position with the formular in dummy-syntax:
    Positive look behind of any character in the exact length n-1 + character
    E.g. if you want to look for a "carriage return", defined in GREP as \n at every 10th position, search for:
    (?<=.{9})\n
    In your case that would be:
    (?<=.{8000})\n

  • Anyone having issues enabling Character Count in ios6?

    I noticed today on my iPhone 5 when I enable character count, Settings-Messages-Character Count (ON), it doesn't work? Anyone notice this? Bug?

    Thanks. You're right! I could swear I checked to see if the regular texts were working before.
    90% of my friends and coworkers apparently have iPhones so this explains why I didn't notice it working.
    To see the character count you have to start a new line too.

  • Wrong character count in SMS

    When I compose a new SMS, the character count is wrong, because special characters take more space than normal ones.
    As an example, if a regular SMS takes 160 characters, if I use special characters such as á, é, €… the same SMS will take more characters and therefore they will bill me for 2 SMS, or more instead of one.
    Sorry for my poor English but it is not my mother tongue

    I see this is by design, but there is a difference in the bill, if I send 30 or 60 SMS because I send special characters. I know the quick solution is to avoid sending this characters, but the application should be smart enough to count the characters I'm being billed as this is all the purpose of character counting in my humble opinion.
    So, iPhone is doing it right counting 7-bit characters, but not OK counting the "real characters I'm paying for" which is more important to me. I guess no one cares about how many characters takes to say something just for the quantity's sake unless they are using Twitter I hope my explanation was quite clear!
    This should be a bug, not a feature, in my very humble opinion

  • SMS - Character Count

    The option is enabled ... But it's not working, It's not supposed to show the number of characters below the send button ?

    This is a bug. I suspect the character count is there but is hidden behind the send button and only apperas when a second line of text widens the text field.

  • How do I limit the character count in a text field?

    I'm creating a form for co-workers to use when creating web content. I need to restrict their character count for items like headlines, titles, subtitles, etc. Any suggestions on a ready-made form to use out there? And how can I limit those fields so they don't generate content that will then need to be edited down?
    Thanks,

  • Character counter does not display data on IE when counter is 0

    Hi,
    I am implementing a character counter in ADF using Javascript (referencing this http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/learnmore/10-char-input-counter-169133.pdf).
    I display the string --> 'x' characters left
    The problem that I am facing is: when my character counter becomes 0 (can no longer enter any text, the maxlimit of the input field is reached) then on IE browsers, it does not show the character '0'. It displays a blank. On Firefox and Chrome, however, the UI gets displayed as expected i.e. 0 characters left.
    Can I get any pointers how to fix this on IE. Have tested with IE versions 7,8,9. JDev version is 11.1.1.5.0
    Here is the code snippet that I am using:
    Javascript:
    function showCharacterCount(event) {
    var keyCodePressed = event.getKeyCode();
    if (keyCodePressed == AdfKeyStroke.TAB_KEY
    || keyCodePressed == AdfKeyStroke.ARROWLEFT_KEY
    || keyCodePressed == AdfKeyStroke.ARROWUP_KEY
    || keyCodePressed == AdfKeyStroke.ARROWRIGHT_KEY
    || keyCodePressed == AdfKeyStroke.ARROWDOWN_KEY) {
    event.cancel();
    else {
    textfield = event.getCurrentTarget();
    textfieldValue = event.getSource().getSubmittedValue();
    textfieldLength = textfieldValue.length;
    textfieldMaxLength = textfield.getMaximumLength();
    o = AdfPage.PAGE.findComponent('characterCounter');
    characterCounterValue = o.getValue();
    characterCounterValue = textfieldMaxLength - textfieldLength;
    o.setValue(characterCounterValue);
    UI:
    <af:panelGroupLayout id="pgl3" layout="horizontal">
    <af:outputText id="characterCounter" clientComponent="true" value="325"
    inlineStyle="text-align:right; display:block; width:100.0px;"
    binding="#{viewScope.myBean.characterCounterBndg}"/>
    <af:outputText value="characters left" id="ot7"
    inlineStyle="padding-left:5.0px;"/>
    </af:panelGroupLayout>
    <af:inputText id="it2" rows="4" columns="53"
    value="#{viewScope.myBean.text}" maximumLength="325" clientComponent="true"
    simple="true">
    <af:clientListener method="showCharacterCount"
    type="keyUp"/>
    </af:inputText>
    Thanks in advance.

    Try converting from dynamic data, that seems to take care of the problem. Also, you could use the regular field point VIs instead of the FP express VI. Check out the attached VI.

  • Character Counter for ADF 11g RichTextEditor

    I am rewriting an application in 11g RichFaces. The original app had a text area that had a maximum allowable length and used a Javascript function to display to the user how many characters they had left as they were typing. In the new app, I have replaced this functionality with the WYSIWYG RichTextEditor, but would like to give them the same functionality that they had before. I would like to display, as they type, a character count. The count needs to be of the actual displayed characters, not the count of HTML characters that are generated behind the scenes by the RichTextEditor.
    Is this possible?

    huh? waking up a 1-year-old thread to ask an unrelated question (and a demand for us to write your code for you to wit)?

  • Character count

    Hi,
    As most of the InDesign User know info window show text box character count, words even the paragraphs their in selected text box.
    I want to know is their a way to see these all text layer stats in Photoshop?
    Thanks
    Jamal

    You could probably use a Script to evaluate a selected Type Layer. (It may be difficult, though, to get the word count depending on your definition of word.)
    To have that feedback on display permanently you probably would have to create an html5 Panel.

  • Dynamic character count

    Is it possible to have a display of how many characters are showing in a text box (without highlighting text) and when the size of the box is changed the character count is updated.
    For example if I have a text box and I have more text in that box then can fit so it is "busting out of the box"... can I get a character count display telling me how many characters are in the text box disregarding the overflow text... and as I pick up the text box handles and start resizing the text box the character count display updates on the fly... only counting the characters visible in the text box and not the ones that have busted out of the box.

    There appears to be something wrong with your InDesign. This is what it looks like for me:
    Try resettting your preferences.
