Converting Latin-1 to UTF-8

Hi all,
I'm looking to find a way in Dreamweaver to run a
Search/Replace function to convert all my current Latin-1 character
set special characters to UTF-8 Unicode. For example, I'd like to
replace all my á which gives me this symbol: á to
&225;. This would have to work for
á,é,í,ó,ú, among several other characters.
As it stands right now, I just use the Search and Replace function
in Dreamweaver to convert each character at a time (e.g. once for
all occurances of á, then again for all characters é,
etc...). So the question is, is there a way that I can load up all
the characters and what I want to change them to and run it in a
batch perhaps using a saved Search/Replace function or using the
Command function from the Menu Bar? Currently, I've used "Search
and Replace" by Funduc (
http://www.searchandreplace.com/search_replace.htm)
which allows me to save all my queries and then run it as one
batch. I was wondering if there was a way to do this in Dreamweaver
by itself. This would be to replace all occurances of these letters
on an old site that has a large number of pages.
Thanks a bunch.
Thank you all!

  • Convert file format into UTF-8 while generating text file on FTP server

    Hi Expert,
    I have the requirement to generate text file store it in FTP server and file format should be in UTF-8.
    ABAP Development is completed but text file format generate in ANSI which not acceptable by client.For generating text file and store it on FTP server by using standard function module FTP_R3_TO_SERVER ,but in this function module there is no any parameter option like CODEPAGE for file format conversion. Is there any method or any function module to convert file format to UTF-8 and directly transfer or store it on FTP server.

    I have come across the same issue.  Try calling the FTP_COMMAND function module to make it go into ASCII mode before your FTP the file, like this:
    data: result type table of text with header line.
    call function 'FTP_COMMAND'
        exporting
          handle        = hdl
          command       = 'ascii'
        tables
          data          = result
        exceptions
          tcpip_error   = 1
          command_error = 2
          data_error    = 3.
      call function 'FTP_R3_TO_SERVER'
        exporting
          handle         = hdl
          fname          = docid
          character_mode = 'X'

  • Dilemma converting arbitrary encoding to UTF-8

    Here's my dilemma: I recently modified our webapp to use UTF-8 encoding across the board, since data with special characters that users added to the content management backend was being displayed incorrectly in ISO-8859-1. It works great for Strings we get from the database, since it uses UTF-8. The problem now is that there are also files that consist of html chunks that get added to pages when they're rendered by the jsps. Those files aren't always UTF-8 encoded, so characters are displaying incorrectly in those parts of the page.
    The problem is that we don't know what encoding the html chunks are, some are ISO-8859-1, some are Windows-1252, etc. There are hundreds of them, and the users use all kinds of programs to generate the files, Frontpage, Dreamweaver, etc. so there's no common encoding used. I'm trying to modify the code that reads those files so it converts the text to UTF-8 for display, but without knowing what encoding the file is in, how can you do the conversion properly? Here's the code I have currently:
            ByteArrayInputStream contentInput = file.getContent();
            // wrap byte stream in UTF-8 character stream
            BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(contentInput, "UTF-8"));
            StringBuffer outputBuffer = new StringBuffer("");
            do {
                readString = br.readLine();
                outputBuffer.append(readString);
            while (readString != null);We get a ByteArrayInputStream from the third party API, which I wrap in a UTF-8 encoded BufferedReader. The problem is that, for instance, this character '�', when encoded in the file as ISO-8859-1, get's garbled when converted to UTF-8.
    My question is: Is there a way to convert text to UTF-8 without knowing the encoding of the file? I suspect the answer is no, but I'm really hoping it's yes, since the alternative is re-encoding hundreds to thousands of files in the db, then retraining hundreds of users to always save files as UTF-8. (You can't see my brain spasming at the thought of that, but trust me, it is ;P).

    As an update, in case anyone else runs into this same problem:
    I used the SmartEncodingInputStream from uncle_alice's link, and it works just well enough to solve my problem. The only encoding that it guessed correctly was UTF-8. But it guessed windows-1252 for US-ASCII, windows-1252, and ISO-8859-1. Since 1252 is a superset of ascii and 8859, using 1252 decodes all the characters correctly from those encodings. All the content I tested with was decoded correctly, presumably because it all uses one of those four encodings. The one snag I hit was that the SmartEncodingInputStream doesn't reset the InputStream after it reads it, so I have to do it manually after getting the guessed encoding. Here's the code I used:
            // Get the file content
            ByteArrayInputStream contentInput = file.getContent();
            StringBuffer outputBuffer = new StringBuffer("");
            // wrapper around the input stream that guesses the encoding of the stream
            SmartEncodingInputStream smartIS = null;   
            // use a 8k buffer, and a default encoding of windows-1252
            smartIS = new SmartEncodingInputStream(contentInput, SmartEncodingInputStream.BUFFER_LENGTH_8KB,
                    Charset.forName("windows-1252"));
            String charsetName = smartIS.getEncoding().name();      // get the name of the encoding guessed
            contentInput.reset();       // reset the position to the beginning of the stream
            byte[] contentBuffer = new byte[8192];
            int bytesRead = 0;
            while( (bytesRead = contentInput.read(contentBuffer, 0, 8192)) > 0 ) {
                // encode the output with the encoding guessed by the SmartEncodingInputStream
                outputBuffer.append(new String(contentBuffer, 0, bytesRead, charsetName));
            contentInput.close();I left out the try/catch blocks for readability. I get the ByteArrayInputStream from a library call, and end up with the file contents encoded in UTF-8 in outputBuffer.

  • Converting uft-16 to utf-8

    Hi All,
    I have file to IDoc Scenario.
    Message Mapping is working fine for xml encoding UFT-8.
    However Source file I am getting from client has xml encoding UTF-16.
    because which my end-to-end mapping is failing.
    Can you please suggest me something by which i can change UFT-16 to UFT-8 before i execute my mapping.
    Regards,
    Manisha

    Hi Manisha,
    In your sender file channel Specify the File Type Text.
    Once  you have selected Text, specify a code page under File Encoding. The default setting is to use the system code page that is specific to the configuration of the installed operating system. The file content is converted to the UTF-8 code page before it is sent.
    Following are the values you can use. I think in ur case use UTF-16.
    ○       US-ASCII
    Seven-bit ASCII, also known as ISO646-US, or Basic Latin block of the Unicode character set
    ○       ISO-8859-1
    ISO character set for Western European languages (Latin Alphabet No. 1), also known as ISO-LATIN-1
    ○       UTF-8
    UTF-8 (BC-ABA)
    ○       UTF-16BE
    16-bit Unicode character format, big-endian byte order
    ○       UTF-16LE
    16-bit Unicode character format, little-endian byte order

  • Convert ASCII HttpServletRequest to UTF-8 Correctly (Possible)?

    Hi All, Is it possible to convert a request encoded in ASCII that contained UTF-8 Characters to UTF-8 correctly? I am using ATG Dynamo's Application server and for the life of me, it doesn't seem to let me encode the request in anything but ASCII. Anyone have any suggestions.
    Thanks,
    Rick

    i mean how do i get utf-8 "\ue0d0" from parsing in the string "U+e0d0"?The String object written in the form of "\u0000" has no relation with UTF-8 by itself, but the form is the Unicode escape sequence. The encoding UTF-8 is a way of transforming the String object to a byte array in a specified manner.
    If you have "U+0000" then you can replace 'U' and '+' with '\' and 'u' with a simple code, though the converted form does not work in a program. What should be done depends on what your aim is.

  • Converting Chinese Characters from UTF-8 to GB2312

    Hi,
    I need to interact with an external system that only accepts GB2312 encoded strings as input.
    I have a site that is used to capture user input before feeding the data to the system. (Refer to the following)
    <%
    String strName = request.getParameter("strName");
    boolean serviceStatus = false;
    if (request.getParameter("strName") != null)
    serviceStatus=invokeTheService(strName,"text_process");
    %>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
    How can i encode the "strName" variable value to "GB2312". (Do be informed that i am unable to change the meta Content-Type to GB2312)
    I had tried using the following but was unable get it right.
    strName = new String(strName.getBytes("UTF-8"),"GB2312");
    I had also tried using the CharsetEncoder.encode to attempt to encode it to GB2312 but kept getting a UnmappableCharacterException message.
    *Correct me if i'm wrong, but UTF-8 tends to represent characters in 1,2 or 3 bytes.
    In the case of chinese characters, each character is represented by 3 bytes.
    GB2312 tends to represent each character in 2 bytes.
    So if i have a 3 chinese character as input, the original strName.length() would return 9. whereas the Gb2312 encoded strName should return 6 ?

    >

    strName = new String(strName.getBytes("UTF-8"),"GB2312");That can never ever be right. Java Strings are UNICODE encoded as UTF16. They are always encoded internally as UTF16 so your code says - convert the string to UTF8 bytes and then, even though they are UTF8 bytes and not GB2312 bytes, treat them as GB2312 bytes. That will almost certainly corrupt the String

    I had also tried using the CharsetEncoder.encode to attempt to encode it to GB2312 but kept getting a UnmappableCharacterException message.Even if Java does support GB2312 then it is a wast of time sending GB2312 content to a client and telling the client that it is UTF-8 .

  • Converting japanese characters to UTF-8

    Hi
    I am working on a internationalized application where we display the content from Property based Resourc Bundle. The resource bundle is in Unicode format and we use UTF-8 charset in our JSP files to display it. Till this point its working perfectly. But in our application on some JSP pages we also get data from third party Components as well. For example in on of the JSP pages we get a ArrayList of some values that we need to display on the JSP page. But the problem is that this list of values is not in Unicode format. We need to convert the values in the ArrayList to their String representations that are UTF-8 compatible. We have tried a lot many number of ways but have not been able to do so. Please specify as to what should be done.

    hi,
    if your data is in unicode format then there is no issue of storing the value in ArrayList or anything.
    please check the following things,

    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)

    <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 ?

    I have an idea to use ByteArray and pair of functions readMultiByte / writeMultiByte (to write in current character set and read UTF-8) but I need to determine the current character set Flex (or TextInput) is using.
    Can anyone help convert the characters?
    Thanks in advance,
    best regards,
    Sergey.

    Found tha answer myself: set System.useCodePage to false
