Converting a chinese string to UTF-8

Hello There,
In my java application i am supporting more than one language like Chinese, German, English,etc...
I am using eclipse tool to develop my project.
My problem is i am keeping some Chinese characters like as follows
String[] timeschinese =
"上午12:00", "上午1:00","上午2:00", "上午3:00",
Now my problem is i cannot keep this in my .java file then its become junk.
So i changed the file view format to UTF-8 and even in eclipse.
But when i am doing my entire project compilation its showing these characters as a error because i cant set encoding formate of the compiler as UTF-d because it will affect my other files also.
Now wht i want is.
Is there any way to keep the above string in the file without setting the file view type as UTF-8?
Thank you!!!

Not exactly sure what your problem is, but you can represent every unicode character in a Java file using [Unicode escape sequences|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/second_edition/html/lexical.doc.html#100850] . This should save you from input file encoding-related problems, although I strongly suggest you use some flavor of UTF-X to encode your sources.

How to convert Chinese string to hexdecimal

Hi everyone, when I search a Chinese String like"dÔ" in google, the url contain "http://www.google.com.hk/search?hl=zh-TW&q=%E5%96%AE%E8%BB%8A&meta=&aq=f&oq="
I want to get this %E5%96%AE%E8%BB%8A.. Can I use the Java program to convert the Chinese String "dÔ" to %E5%96%AE%E8%BB%8A??? Is that any sample program for this.
Thank you all of you.

What I'm saying is that "%E5%96%AE%E8%BB%8A" is the output the OP is trying to achieve. It looks like URL-encoded text, with UTF-8 as the underlying character encoding. I say UTF-8 because it's the most common choice for URL-encoding of non-Western characters, and because it looks like UTF-8. In a three-byte UTF-8 sequence, the first digit of the first byte is always 'E', and the first digit of the other two bytes is always '8', '9', 'A' or 'B'.Then shouldn't the solution be to use URLEncoder?For Linux

Convert Chinese signs to UTF-8

Hi there
I am trying to find a tool, or some code, who can help me covert Chinese signs to UTF-8 format.
The resen is that I am working on a project who has to develop a web-site containg both english and chinese text.
So first of all to test oure setup we need some chinese signs in UTF-8 format. Later on we will develop a work.flow that will convert those files/chinese signs.
But right now it will be a greate help to get som input on how to get this working.
Purhaps someone has made a smalle code who take a string af chinese signs as input and create a string of UTF-8 as output??
Regards
Tolstrup

To read the file:Reader in = new InputStreamReader(
new FileInputStream(yourChineseFile), "yourChineseFile'sEncoding"));I don't know what encoding your file is in, but it's your file not mine.
To write the data in UTF-8:Writer out = new OutputStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream(yourUTF8File), "UTF-8");

Convert String from UTF-8 to IsoLatin1

Hi everyone !
I'm trying to convert a String from utf-8 to IsoLatin1, but i got somt problems.... I'm using
actually this code, but it won't work...
I'm getting a utf-8 html String with some data and i will write it down in latin1 to a text file
String newString = new String(oldString.getBytes("UTF-8"), "ISO-8859-1");If i'm now writing this newString to a TextFile it contains cryptic signs like
& # 1 3 ; or & # 1 3 7 ; or & # 1 2 8 ;(i separated this chars)
can anyone tell me where is my fault and how can i solve this problem ?
Thanks a lot

Yes its XML, i got a web editor where i can add input (utf-8) and i want to write it down in my class to a xml file (isoLatin1).
My code looks likte this
 public static void setEditFragment(String content, String xPath) throws Exception {
 DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
 DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
 Document document = builder.parse("3001300.xml");
 XPath xpath = XPathFactory.newInstance().newXPath();
 Node node = (Node)xpath.evaluate(xPath, document, XPathConstants.NODE);
 Charset charset = Charset.forName("ISO-8859-1");
 CharsetEncoder encoder = charset.newEncoder();
 ByteBuffer buf = encoder.encode(CharBuffer.wrap(content));
 node.setTextContent(buf.toString());
 // Use a XSLT transformer for writing the new XML file
 Transformer transformer = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();
 DOMSource source = new DOMSource( document );
 FileOutputStream os = new FileOutputStream("tmp.xml");
 StreamResult result = new StreamResult( os );
 transformer.transform( source, result );
 }The example from http://www.exampledepot.com/egs/java.nio.charset/ConvertChar.html looks great, but if I add my own input string i get a exception that looks like this
java.nio.charset.UnmappableCharacterException: Input length = 1
 at java.nio.charset.CoderResult.throwException(Unknown Source)
 at java.nio.charset.CharsetEncoder.encode(Unknown Source)
 at HagerAbs.setEditFragment(HagerAbs.java:91)
 at HagerAbs.main(HagerAbs.java:108)When i write my input to the xml file it doesnt look like xml at all, it looks more like
<synthese>& # 13;
& # 13;
& lt;br/& gt;& # 13;
& lt;img class="thumb" src="http: ......{code}
(i seperated the char so you can see)
and this is not what i expected... how can i write it down correctly ?

Problems in displaying chinese characters with utf-8 encoding

Hi,
I got problem in displaying chinese characters in my web application.
I am creating a web application supporting both English and Chinese charaters. What I am trying to do is:
1. storing some chinese characters via a web page (page1) into database.
2. retrieve the chinese characters via another web page (page2) from the database.
Once I put the Chinese characters on the webpage (page1 in step #1), it displayes well (the readable chinese characters) before I submit this page (after submit, the data will be stored into the database).
But when I tried to display the chiese characters via page2 in step#2, I got un-readable characters displayed.
The running configuration is: Sun Application Server (coming and with the JSC2) and MySQL server 5.0. And I setup the database server with utf8 as character-set.
It seems like the chinese characters got messed up throught the round-trip (from page1<----via jdbc---->database<----via jdbc------>page2).
From the database, I found the chinese characters are there. Any helps are appreciated.

Hi,
I am trying to insert new record.The record may contain chineese or English data.
I did same what u specified.
first I converted to the byte UTF8.again,I converted byte to string using 8859_1.
the values are not storing chinese characters.
pls suggest me.
below is my code.
 ascCode = req.getParameter("asccode");
 countryCode = req.getParameter("countrycode");
 ascName = req.getParameter("ascname");
 address1 = req.getParameter("ascaddress1");
 address2 = req.getParameter("ascaddress2");
 System.out.println("ASC NAME:"+ascName);
 System.out.println("ADDRESS1:"+address1);
 System.out.println("ADDRESS2:"+address2);
 ascC = ascCode.getBytes("UTF8");
 coun = countryCode.getBytes("UTF8");
 ascN = ascName.getBytes("UTF8");
 add1 = address1.getBytes("UTF8");
 add2 = address2.getBytes("UTF8");
 System.out.println("ASC NAME:"+ascN);
 System.out.println("ADDRESS1:"+add1);
 System.out.println("ADDRESS2:"+add2);
 ascCode = new String(ascC,"8859_1");
 countryCode= new String(coun,"8859_1");
 ascName = new String(ascN,"8859_1");
 address1 = new String(add1,"8859_1");
 address2 = new String(add2,"8859_1");
 System.out.println("ASC NAME:"+ascName);
 System.out.println("ADDRESS1:"+address1);
 System.out.println("ADDRESS2:"+address2);

I don't think this should work that way. If this string is in resource file, use UTF-8 encoding and make PMString do its job. use kResourceUTF8Encoded in StringTable:
resource StringTable (kSDKDefStringsResourceID + index_enUS)
        k_enUS,                                             // Locale Id
        kResourceUTF8Encoded,                         // Character encoding converter (irp) I made this WinToMac as we have a bias to generate on Win...

Convertion of byte array in UTF-8 to GSM character set.

I want to convert byte array in UTF-8 to GSM character set. Please advice How can I do that?

String s = new String(byteArrayInUTF8,"utf-8");This will convert your byte array to a Java UNICODE UTF-16 encoded String on the assumption that the byte array represents characters encoded as utf-8.
I don't understand what GSM characters are so someone else will have to help you with the second part.

Converting Base64 encoded String to String object

Hi,
Description:
I have a Base64 encoded string and I am using this API for it,
[ http://ws.apache.org/axis/java/apiDocs/org/apache/axis/encoding/Base64.html]
I am simply trying to convert it to a String object.
Problem:
When I try and write the String, ( which is xml ) as a XMLType to a oracle 9i database I am getting a "Cannot map Unicode to Oracle character." The root problem is because of the conversion of the base64 encoded string to a String object. I noticed that some weird square characters show up at the start of the string after i convert it. It seems like I am not properly converting to a String object. If i change the value of the variable on the fly and delete these little characters at the start, I don't get the uni code error. Just looking for a second thought on this.
Code: Converting Base64 Encoded String to String object
public String decodeToString( String base64String )
byte[] decodedByteArray = Base64.decode( base64String );
String decodedString = new String( decodedByteArray, "UTF-8");
}Any suggestions?

To answer bigdaddy's question and clairfy a bit more:
Constraints:
1. Using a integrated 3rd party software that expects a Base64 encoded String and sends back a encoded base64 String.
2. Using JSF
3. Oracle 10g database and storing in a XMLType column.
Steps in process.
1. I submit my base64 encoded String to this 3rd party software.
2. The tool takes the encoded string and renders a output that works correctly. The XML can be modified dynamically using this tool.
3. I have a button that is binded to my jsf backing bean. When that button is clicked, the 3rd party tool sets a backing bean string value with the Base64 String representing the updated XML.
4. On the backend in my jsf backing bean, i attempt to decode it to string value to store in the oracle database as a XML type. Upon converting the byte[] array to a String, i get this conversion issue.
Possibly what is happen is that the tool is sending me a different encoding that is not UTF-8. I thought maybe there was a better way of doing the decoding that i wasn't looking at. I will proceed down that path and look at the possibility that the tool is sending back a different encoding then what it should. I was just looking for input on doing the byte[] decoding.
Thanks for the input though.

Problem with JTree converting Node to string

I have a problem that I cannot slove with JTree. I have a DefaultMutalbeTreeNode and I need its parent and convert to string. I can get its parent OK but cannot convert it to string.
thisnode.getParent().toString() won't work and gives an exception
thisnode.getParent() works but how do I convert this to string to be used by a database.
Thanks
Peter Loo

You are using the wrong method to convert it to a String array.
Try replacing this line:
String[] tabStr = (String[])strList.toArray();
With this line:
String[] tabStr = (String[])strList.toArray( new String[ 0 ] );
That should work for you.

Is there an easy way to convert a long string into an array?

I can convert a long string into a 1-d array by parsing and using build array, but I would like to know if there is a function to make this easier.
For example:
from/   aaaaaaaabbbbbbbbccccccccdddddddd         (string of ascii)
to/       an array that is 1-d with each element having eight characters
          aaaaaaaa
          bbbbbbbb
          cccccccc
          dddddddd
Thank you.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Try something like this:
(If you can guarantee that the string length is an integer multiple of 8, you an drop the two triangular modes in the upper left. )

Converting Datetime in String in map

Hello all,
I am reciving a message from a system A, in which I am receiving field DOB as datetime and I am sending same message to system B , problem is that system B not able to handle DOB at there end as datetime - I have checked at BizTalk side that DOB
is going correct so issue is at system B side. now system B wants BizTalk system to send them DOB field as string.
What could be the possible way's to do this ?
1) We can change both schema System A schema and System B schema and map them is one way .
2) Can we take datetime and convert it to string using some funtoid ? and send that string to system B ? How ?
Is there other way for this ?
Thanks,
Nitin
Thanks and Regards, Nitin.

Hi Nitin,
First find out how the destination system consumes the datatime value. Some system would consume the value in the datetime field as string. It could be the problem in the format of the datetime. Ask them about their expected datetime format. For example
"2004-09-23T10:20:00.000-05:00" is the standard datetime format produced when you set a field as xssd:datetime. May be the destination system not able to handle this format.
If the issue is in the datatype i.e. in the way client consume, the datatype of the destination schema matter:
Then update the destination schema's to have string datetype. And simply map the value from the soruce's datetime field to destination schema's update string field. You don't need any scripting fuctiond to convert the data type. BizTalk's mapper would handle
it.
If the issue is in the date format i.e. in the way client consume, the datatype of the destination schema doesn't matter, and if the actual problem is in the format:
Then update the destination schema's to have string datetype. Use a scripting fuctiond as suggested by others and do the conversion in the script.
If this answers your question please mark it accordingly. If this post is helpful, please vote as helpful by clicking the upward arrow mark next to my reply.

Help with Sample on Converting an XML string to a byte stream

Hello All, I am sure this is something simple, but I am just not figuring it out right now. I am following the sample - "Converting an XML string to a byte stream" from the developer guide since I want to prepopulate just 1 field in my PDF form. How do I reference my form field within my servlet code properly?? I have tried a few things now, my field is within a subform, so I thought it would be <root><subformName><fieldname>My data</fieldname></subformName></root> I have also tried adding <page1> in there too. I am following everything else exactly as given in the sample code. I do have an embedded schema within the form and the field is bound. Thanks, Jennifer

Well, if you have a schema defined in the form, then the hierarchy of your data must match what is described in the schema. So, can't really tell you what it would look like, but just follow your schema.

CIN: Converting a C String to a LabVIEW String

Hi all,
I have been developing CINs in Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 for LabVIEW as
project needs. However, I am having a problem with converting a C String
to a LabVIEW String in CIN.
I used two ways to try to make the conversion work that were LStrPrintf
and MoveBlock as stated as following:
1. LStrPrintf
#include "extcode.h"
#include "hosttype.h"
#include "windows.h"
struct teststrct{
const char* test;
struct teststrct testinstance;
typedef struct {
LStrHandle test
} TD1;
CIN MgErr CINRun(TD1 *testcluster, LVBoolean *Error) {
char *tempCStr = NULL;
strcpy(tempCStr, testinstance.test); // this would cause LabVIEW crash!
LStrPrintf(testcluster->test, (CStr) "%s", tempCSt
r);
// but if I assigned tempCStr as tempCStr = "test", the string value
"test" could be passed to LabVIEW without any problems.
2. MoveBlock
#include "extcode.h"
#include "hosttype.h"
#include "windows.h"
struct teststrct{
const char* test;
struct teststrct testinstance;
typedef struct {
LStrHandle test
} TD1;
CIN MgErr CINRun(TD1 *testcluster, LVBoolean *Error) {
char *tempCStr = NULL;
int32 len;
tempCStr = (char *)&testinstance.test; //since strcpy didn't work, I
used this way to try to copy the const char* to char*.
len = StrLen(tempCStr);
if (err = NumericArrayResize(uB, 1L, (UHandle*)&testcluster->test,
len))
*Error = LVFALSE;
goto out;
MoveBlock(&tempCStr, LStrBuf(*testcluster->test), len); // the string
was able to passed to LabVIEE, but it was unreadable.
out:
Did I do anything wrong? Any thougths or suggestions would be very
appreciated!

Thank you so much for your response, Greg. However, I still have problem after making
corresponding modification for LStrPrintf approach:
int32 len;
char tempCStr[255] = "";
strcpy(temCStr, testinstance.test);
len = StrLen(tempCStr);
LStrPrintf(testcluster->test, (CStr) "%s", tempCStr);
LStrLen(*testcluster->test) = len;
LabVIEW crashes. Any ideas?

Converting a given string to non-english language

{color:#0000ff}Hi can anybody help me how to convert an entered string in textfield to french or spanish or to anyother non-english language?{color}

Hi,
I don't think you get a language translator package.
What you can do is store the fraises, words in a database.
//SQL Code
CREATE TABLE [Language_Data]
[ID]    INT NOT NULL IDENTITY PRIMARY KEY,
[Lang] VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,                             //Lang English/French.....
[Type] CHAR(1) NOT NULL,                                 //is Fraise or Word
[Words] VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL                             //Fraise or Word data
GO
CREATE TABLE [Translate]
[ID]       INT NOT NULL IDENTITY PRIMARY KEY,
[FK_Orig] INT NOT NULL REFERENCES [Language_Data]([ID]), //ID of the original language
[FK_Trans] INT NOT NULL REFERENCES [Language_Data]([ID]) //ID's for all known translations
GO Create Stored procedures to add a new word/fraise to the [Language_Data] table,
