Convert HTML special characters to String

Hi,
I'm looking for an easy way to convert HTML special characters (like "&#246") to String.
Any Ideas how implement this? Thanks

Hi,
I'm looking for an easy way to convert HTML special
characters (like "�") to String.
Any Ideas how implement this? Thankswell im assuming that you mean that when you are working with java you will be getting a ? instead of the character you want. assuming that you are reading and writing to this html file. if not well maybe this can stil help : BufferedReader inFile = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream(fileName),"ISO8859-1"));
PrintWriter outFile = new PrintWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream(fileName2), "ISO8859-1")); basically you need to make sure that ou define ISO8859-1 as the encoding.

Html special characters

when using the Dreamweaver 'Set Text of Layer' behavior,
Dreamweaver correctly converts all html
special characters, such as accents like � and &,
and quotes and double quotes, so that it is safe
as a javascript string, and will display properly.
I am trying to figure out what PHP function can do the same
encoding, to simple text files (textEdit
on the Mac).
I have tried htmlentities(), but it does not work, accented
letters like � just desappear from the
string.
I have tried htmlspecialchars() and it does not work
either...
I have tried about 10 others functions found on Google but
nothing works.
Anybody knows what exact function Dreamweaver uses to do this
conversion?

OT: HTML Special Characters

I often use HTML special characters in place of images. Until now, I've had to search many sites to find the exact character and code desired. This site has them all neatly organized for quick reference. Way cool!

Replace special characters in String

Dear Guru ,
Does SAP provide the standard function that can replace the special characters in String ?
For example :
I have one template string : " & & & & & output(s) have not been processed yet ! " and five parameters : "P1" , "P2" , "P3" , "P4" , "P5" .
And i would like to apply all parameters into the string to replace the "&" character . Is it possibile ?
My idea is sourcing from the Message String that in tcode : SE91 .
Thanks .
Best Regards,
Carlos Zhang

Hi Carlos,
I think instead of a standard FM you can write a one line command to do this job.
E.g.
constant: str1 type string value 'output(s) have not been processed yet ! '.
data: var1 type c,
         var2 type c,
         var3 type c,
         var4 type c,
         str    type string.
concatenate var1 var2 var3 var4 str1 into str separated by space.
So str will have the final value.
Thanks,
Mainak

HTML special characters in form input

In my site I store form input in my database. Before I store
the data, I parse out smart quotes, en dashes, and other extended
special characters and convert them into HTHML quivalents such as
’
All is well and good until the user goes to edit their info.
In my form these characters show up in my <input> tags as
their long-winded HTML equivalents, such as ’ instead of
a smart apostrophe.
Is there any way to convert these back to the special
characters from the HTML on the form input text fields so that
users can edit them without being confused?
Thanks.

Hmmm, well I ran the MX 6.1 updater and installed the two hot
fixes that had to do with null pointer exceptions and it still does
not work.
Here is the detailed error I'm getting, if it helps. Any more
ideas? Thanks again for the help, I'm really stuck on this one...

Restrict Special Characters in String Fields

Hello,
My Jdev version is 11.1.1.6 using ADF BC and ADF Faces as technology stack.
I have a requirement to restrict special characters, html tags as input in String/Varchar2 fields.
I have couple of thoughts that can be used in application but not sure which is the best approach:
1. Implement <af:validateRegExp pattern="regular Exp"> inside <af:inputText> component
2. Implement Entity based validator using Regular Expression
Apart from picking the best out of above two, I would like to know if there is a better way to implement this validation.
My application has custom framework extn classes and all Entities/View Objects extend those. Is there a possibility to implement this type of validation at some central place.
I would highly appreciate expert inputs here.
Thanks,
Jai

Hi,
the answer to your question is *"use both"*. The entity level would be enough but then would make people subniitting a request afte which they see an error The RegEx validator in ADF Faces handles problems on the client side and thus before a submit is sent to the server (where it then would be also checked using server side validation in ADF Faces). Why not using RegEx validation in ADF faces alone? Because there are potentially many views accessing your entity through view objects and if only one developer forgets the RegEx validator you would be screwed.

     System.out.println(testString.replace(',',' '));

Remove special characters in string

Hi all,
I'm Portuguese, and in our language we use special characters in words like "João or "Sónia".
I need to take off these special characters, which means I want to have the same words like "Joao" and "Sonia", without the characters "~" or "´".
Do you have any idea how can I do this?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Sónia Gonçalves

Hi,
But I want to make this generic, I don't want to replace character by character.
If I give a string in the program, I want to search all ocurrences of these special characters and replace them.
How can I do this?
Thanks.
Best regards,
Sónia Gonçalves

Format Special Characters In Strings

Is there a simple way of formatting or automatically escaping special characters in a string?
For example if I have a string that has double quotes in it and I want to escape them, so...
a = "This is a "string" object"becomes...
a = "This is a \"string\" object"

public static String escape(String s)
    String sOut;
    sOut = replace(s, "\\", "\\\\");
    sOut = replace(sOut, "'", "\\'");
    sOut = replace(sOut, "\"", "\\\"");
   sOut = replace(sOut, "\"", """);
    sOut = replace(sOut, "'", "'");
    sOut = replace(sOut, ">", ">");
    sOut = replace(sOut, "<", "<");
    sOut = replace(sOut, "�", "£");
    sOut = replace(sOut, "�", "¤");
    return (sOut);
}Hope this helps

Converting some special characters NON ASCI to ASCI

HI Gurus,
My Users copied some text from some other file and pasted in SAP in Infotype hrp1000 in a Text field. In the frontend of the SAP screen , the text looks good as English text.
My program is retrieving that text and sending to AL11. If i open and see the file in AL11, the text looks like 'E'#$% ' some thing like this having some cap symbols on the top of the each character( we cannot type those symbols from my PC).
I developed a program to cleanup my file from NON ASCII to ASCII by using methods in class CL_ABAP_CONV_IN_CE->create,but it is failing to convert into ASCII. If it is not possible to convert that special symbols, atleast i have to remove it from the file ..
Please help me with solution.
Thanks,
Regards,
Akila

HI,
   Foound this code... Try this....
Data: Begin of w_char,
            Ascii type x,
      End of w_char.
Move 'A' to w_char.
Write :/ w_char-Ascii.
Move 66 to w_char-Ascii.
Write :/ w_char.

Cyrllic characters getting converted to special characters.

I am facing a problem when cyrillic character is being sent from JSP to servlet ,its getting converted into some other special character.I am using request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8") on servlet.And on jsp I am using <%@page pageEncoding="UTF-8" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8"%>.I am facing this problem both in JBoss and Websphere application server.
Please help me in solving this problem.

How do you send the characters - using POST?
I have tried both ie get and post.....
Can you post the code in your servlet that you use to retrieve and display the Cyrillic characters in question?
Just using request.getParameter() to get the value...It is showing question marks ie ??????
And finally, can you post an example of a Cyrillic string and the corresponding incorrect string you see in the servlet?
Can post cyrllic characters here...:-) But I am giving normal characters only...
It started working in websphere when I changed the jvm settiings ie I gave encoding scheme to jvm also.But still it is not working for JBoss4.0.2.
Any help will be highly appreciated.

Special characters in String variable sent from php.

Hello. Assuming that I send some String variable from php into flash:
AS3:
var MyImportedString:String;
var variables_page_text:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
var varSend_page_text:URLRequest = new URLRequest("MyPHP.php");
varSend_page_text.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
varSend_page_text.data = variables_page_text;
var varLoader_page_text:URLLoader = new URLLoader;
varLoader_page_text.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
varLoader_page_text.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, var_comp_page_text);
varLoader_page_text.load(varSend_page_text);
function var_comp_page_text(event:Event):void {
    MyImportedString = event.target.data.MyVariable;
php:
<?php
header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8');
$MyString = "some tekst &";
print "MyVariable=" . $MyString;
?>
   I've noticed that the special character '&' residing inside String, throws an error: #2101: The String passed to URLVariables.decode() must be a URL-encoded query string containing name/value pairs.
My first thought was, it has something to do with html entities, but other entities (like <> or ") don't throw any error. Besides, the use of php functions like htmlentities(); or html_entity_decode(); doesn't make any difference in this case:
print "MyVariable=" . htmlentities($MyString);
or
print "MyVariable=" . html_entity_decode($MyString);
I've also noticed that characters like '%', '^', '+' don't show up at all;
What does it mean? Any ideas?
Reagards.

Thank You 'moccamaximum'.
Ok. So here is the solution (php function posted by 'moccamaximum' does the trick):
AS3:
var MyImportedString:String;
var variables_page_text:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
var varSend_page_text:URLRequest = new URLRequest("MyPHP.php");
varSend_page_text.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
varSend_page_text.data = variables_page_text;
var varLoader_page_text:URLLoader = new URLLoader;
varLoader_page_text.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
varLoader_page_text.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, var_comp_page_text);
varLoader_page_text.load(varSend_page_text);
function var_comp_page_text(event:Event):void {
    MyImportedString = event.target.data.MyVariable;
     trace(MyImportedString);        // Output: some text &%^+
php:
<?php
header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8');
$MyString = "some text &%^+";
print "MyVariable=" . flash_encode($MyString);
function flash_encode($string){
     $string = rawurlencode(utf8_encode($string));
     $string = str_replace("%C2%96", "-", $string);
     $string = str_replace("%C2%91", "%27", $string);
     $string = str_replace("%C2%92", "%27", $string);
     $string = str_replace("%C2%82", "%27", $string);
     $string = str_replace("%C2%93", "%22", $string);
     $string = str_replace("%C2%94", "%22", $string);
     $string = str_replace("%C2%84", "%22", $string);
     $string = str_replace("%C2%8B", "%C2%AB", $string);
     $string = str_replace("%C2%9B", "%C2%BB", $string);
     return $string;
?>

Find special characters in string (using mask)

Hi all,
I have the following requirement, perhaps someone has got a hint for me:
I have got a string of 255 characters.
I want to realize that this string only contains characters of a "normal" format, like
a-z, A-Z and numbers.
Any characters like , - # for example are not allowed and I would like to know, how to check my string.
How can I achive that? With FIND or SEARCH?
I am not really familiar with these ABAP KEY WORDS. Can I use masks for example like
DATA: no_good type c value '[#,+,*...)
FIND no_good in STRING
or something like that?
Thanks and best regards
Andreas

Hi Try the below code:
data: l_data(10) type c,
      l_special(10) type c.
l_data = 'AAA%%AA'.          " You can give your value here
L_special = '!@#$%^&*()'.     " This need to be maintained wth the char which you don't want
IF l_data ca l_special.
WRITE: 'Special'.
else.
WRITE: 'Only ALPHA.'.
ENDIF.
P.S. - @ Rob, sorry I haven't check you have already given this as CO. Just a doubt, I think we have to use CA here, because we need to check this for each byte level.

HTML Special Characters Encoding

Hi Guys,
I have a problem with pasting contents from MS Word to messagetextinput. The double quotes becomes numbers or ? or different character. The quotes are smart quotes not the straight quotes. For example:
I'll paste "TEST"
Then when i paste it in messagetextinput, it is the same. Then saved it to database and when retrieved, it will display... “Test”...
What can I do to solve this? Any suggestions?
Please help. Thanks!

maeve,
Text copied from Word won't be plain ascii text but the formatted text which contains control characters. You should avoid copy, pasting from text formatters.
I hope that the issue doesn't exist for text typed into the field.
