Converting Unicode to plain text

Hi,
Is there anyway i can get the string "Internationalization" from I�t�rn�ti�n�liz�ti�n?

You could decompose it using one of the Unicode normalizations:

and then go through the result and remove all of the combining characters.

Howto read javaws log-files / convert them to plain-text?

Hi,
I've recently experimented with webstart's logging capabilities, and it seems to work really well.
However webstart loggs in a xml-format, which is cumbersome to read.
Is there a tool available to convert those xml-files to a format similar to what the Java-Console displays?
Thanks, Clemens

Yes, as long as you're only dragging AW WP to Pages, SS to Numbers & presentation to Keynote. Fortunately, with iWork '08, translated files open with the original name & the new file extension. In Pages 1 & 2 (iWork '05 & '06) the files all opened with "untitled" - not very friendly.
I do believe Yvan has written some AppleScripts to make the process even easier.

Converting UNICODE to regular text

I don't know if the subject line really explains my problem. I'm reading some content from a URL and would like to write that content back to a database. This all works fine except when the Html of that URL contains character codes.
As an example: "Effects on blood lipids of a blood pressure & #8211; lowering....."
As you can see from this, it put � instead of putting the dash (-). What I would like to write to my database is:
"Effects on blood lipids of a blood pressure?lowering diet..."
instead of
"Effects on blood lipids of a blood pressure & #8211; lowering....."
Does anyone have any ideas? Is there a way to transform all codes to there character equivalent?
Thanks for your help
(By the way, the html isn't quite right. I had to put it in brackets and insert a space for it to display correctly in the forum)

Hi again,
if you get wrong characters from the URL.openStream it is because the encoding set on your HTML page (probably in the header) is not the same as the default encoding used by your JVM on the client. If you know what encoding is on the HTML page you can set the same encoding for your stream. Use InputStreamReader(inputStream, encoding) for it. If you want to check the encoding of the page programaticaly you can use URLConnection.getContentEncoding() for it.
Hope it helps you,
Regards,
Martin

Regular Expressions for converting HTML to Structured Plain Text

I'm writing a PL/SQL function that will convert HTML to plain text, but still preserve some of the formatting/line breaks. One of my challenges is in writing a regular expression to capture the text blocks while ignoring the markup. I'm trying to write an expression that will grab all of the text between start/end tags, but discard the tags. For example, to find all of the text between a start/end paragraph, I want to do something like:
REGEXP_REPLACE('This is the body of the paragraph', '<p.*>(.*)', '\1||v_crlf' )
where \1 returns the contents of the paragraph and v_crlf (declared earlier in the function) inserts a line break. I know there are more general expressions that will remove all tags, but I want to specifically identify the tags so I can process them appropriately. This way I can easily convert HTML to plain text for email and reporting without having to keep two versions around. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Once I get this worked out, I will repost with the function code for others to use. Thanks.

Here's a function I wrote for an app. I'm not making in promises on it's accuracy as the app was just a proof of concept and never made it to production.
function strip_html( p_clob in clob )
return clob
is
 l_out clob;
 l_test number := 0;
 l_max_loops constant number := 20;
 i pls_integer := 0;
begin
 l_out := regexp_replace(p_clob,' | ',chr(13)||chr(10),1,0,'imn');
 l_out := regexp_replace(l_out,'',chr(13)||chr(10),1,0,'imn');
 l_out := replace(l_out,'<li>',chr(13)||chr(10)||'*<li>');
 l_out := regexp_replace(l_out,'(.+?)','*\1*',1,0,'imn');
 l_out := regexp_replace(l_out,'(.+?)','_\1_',1,0,'imn');
 loop
 l_test := regexp_instr(l_out,'<([A-Z][A-Z0-9]*)[^>]*>.*?</\1>',1,1,0,'imn');
 exit when l_test = 0 or i > l_max_loops;
 l_out := regexp_replace(l_out,'<([A-Z][A-Z0-9]*)[^>]*>(.*?)</\1>','\2',1,0,'imn');
 i := i + 1;
 end loop;
 return l_out;
end strip_html;{code}
The loop is there to handle nested HTML.

Cannot Save as Plain Text

I am unable to Save As to Plain Text. Need to convert PDF to Plain text. I can Save As Word, but I need to save as plain text.
When it converts and the new text file is opened it is empty.

If you are using Acrobat 10 or 11 Pro try using "Recognize Text" -- on this file.
Maybe the document was scanned. A scanned document does not contain any text, it is just a picture. Recognize text will do Optical Character Recognition (OCR) on the document and then you can save as text. You will have to watch for errors in the OCR. Sometimes it has difficulty discerning the characters.

Attachments converted to plain-text when using redirect rule

When I redirect emails using a Mail rule, any attachments (as well as the entire message) are converted to plain text with extra control character, rendering the attachment unviewable. This does not happen when I manually redirect an email. Any help you can provide would be welcome.

How to convert plain text into html?

Hi
I'm looking for a nice method which converts any plain text to html. For example, text: "Me and you\nand a dog named boo."Conversion result should be:
<html>
<body>
Me and you 
and a dog named boo.
</body>
</html>I know, I could write such a code myself using regex. But I just wonder whether something like this already exists in the java api?

Plain Text Message from Outlook being converted to RTF thru Gateway

Hi,
I have the GW Gateway running in a Proof of Concept environment.
When GroupWise users send Plain Text format messages thru to Exchange,
the message is delivered in Rich Text Format.
HTML format is honoured through the gateway - i.e. HTML format messages
from GroupWise are delivered in HTML format.
Is there any way - switches, etc - that we can stop the conversion to
RTF thru the gateway? My users noticed this during testing when then
discovered they can edit the RTF message body in Outlook.
Thanks for your help

There might be a resolve bug that would effect this positively for you.
Bug 403443 - Exchange Gateway conversion issue with RTF from Word. and Tid 7001088
if your code is older then 7-14-08 then it might be worth trying some later code to see if this bug fix helps you.
There is a Testing build that you can try. There are also several people using this testing code so I am not concerned if you try it and use it.
The most current version of the gateway can be downloaded at ftp.novell.com/outgoing/groupwise_exch_7.0.1_2008.07.22_us.zip
good luck!

I have added Xinha here and I still can't convert to plain text. What next??

I am attempting to upload a syllabus in plain text and the screen remains in html format even though I added Xinha to firefox. Now what??

Also MMS is supported on a carrier by carrier basis. While mostly every carrier does support ths feature make sure that your carrier allows this functionality.

Superscript converts into plain text

Hi,
I´m trying to generate a rtf output with an rtf template.
The text marked as superscript on the template, shows like plain text on its output but if I generate a pdf, it goes all ok.
Could it be a word issue? Or perhaps it´s a Bi publisher limitation?
Is there a way to avoid this problem?
Thanks

I would suggest you to raise an SR for this.

DECODING MAIL FROM WEB SERVER IN PLAIN TEXT FORMAT(THE MAIL BEING SENT BY LABVIEW APPLICATION)

Hi All
I have a labview application that send mail every hour automatically.
But actually the mail has to be decoded from the web server(by another application).But now when that application decode the data in the mail(that is send by labview application)its getting some funny characters inside that can not be detected by the decoding application
(When open the mail no problem.)But actually our goal is to decode the mail from the web server.
Why the extra characters are appearing when decoding from the server?Is it because of the HTML format?
Is there option to send the mail in plain text format(not like attachment)?
In outlook we can change the setting (tools->options->send->mail sending format->....here we can set as HTML format/Plain Text format)
Like that at the sending time can i chenge the sending option as plain text format in my labview application?
Thanks...

Then it sounds to me like this other application is not decoding the attachment correctly, especially if you looked at the attachment yourself after you received it and verified it's correct.
No, no, smercurio. This is charcter encoding here. In older versions of LabVIEW you could specify what character encoding to use when sending an email through the SMTP VIs. But that gave problems since people in certain locales used certain characters that where not transfered right when the wrong encoding was specified, and that encoding stuff is not understood by most people at all, so the wrong selected encoding was rather the rule than the exception. In newer versions of LabVIEW do the SMTP VIs handle the encoding automatically based on the currently used locale on the system.
This change is documented in the Upgrade Notes of LabVIEW and probably happened around LabVIEW 7.1 or 8.0.
A decent mail client will recognize the encoding and convert it back to whatever is necessary before presenting it to the user. The OPs posters server application obviously isn't a smart mail client but probably just some crude text file parser that has no notion of proper mail character encoding and how to deal with it.
I would suppose that there is a chance to dig into the SMTP VIs itself and try to manipulate or disable that encoding altogether in there but that may open a whole can of worms somewhere else. The proper way would be to process the incoming mail by a character encoding aware mail client before passing it to the text parser. On Unix setting up something like this would be fairly trivial.

How can I export a mailbox of messages as plain text?

I have a mailbox filled with correspondence from a colleague. About 150 messages in all, some with attachments. I'd like to print out all the messages in that folder but not one at a time. I was hoping to be able to save them all as plain text and convert them to a PDF for two-sided printing. Examining individual messages in Text Wrangler, I see that they are all XML-based messages and, so, filled with XML codes. Is there any simple way to convert or export these without manipulating each individual message?
Yes, I could print each message individually, but that's going to take a long time and waste a lot of paper.
robert

Select the messages. Choose File > Save As…. You'll get a pop-up menu to select Rich Text, Plain Text, or Raw Source.
If you choose rich text or plain text, the messages will appear in TextEdit as if they run together. Select Format > Wrap to Page, and you will see each message starts a new page.
