[CS5][JS] Add Glyph for special 'e' characters?

Hello,
I've got an InDesign script that adds text to a text frame like so:
myTextFrame.insertionPoints[-1].contents = ' The café...';
The problem is that InDesign renders the acute accent 'e' character incorrectly and inserts other special characters. I think I should be able to use glyphs, but I'm not sure how to do it within a script? Is there an easy way to insert that glyph character?
Many thanks in advance!

Hi,
As John suggested, it is almost certainly a character encoding issue at script-editing level. I have similar troubles when I deployed my first scripts for Mac + Win platforms—there was always users who got degenerate UTF8. Since I'm not an expert in cross-OS character encoding, I decided to never use non-ASCII characters in my script. This is a radical solution, I admit, but my scripts never more displayed weird Â© strings and so.
Any Unicode string can be easily expressed in ASCII JavaScript using "\xHH" or "\uHHHH"—which is simpler than String.fromCharCode(0xHHHH).
E.g.:
myTextFrame.insertionPoints[-1].contents = "The caf\xE9...";
Etc.

Checking for Special Characters

I need to check if a textbox in my form containes special characters (entered by user). If there are any, I need to display an error message.
I have written a function but it's not working.
here's my function:
function checkForSpecialChracters(oFiled)
var userInput = oFiled.rawValue; // take the String entered by the user
var iChars = "@#$%^&*+=-[]\\\';,./{}|\":<>?~_";
for (var i = 0; i < userInput.length; i++)
if (iChars.indexOf(userInput.charAt(i)) != -1) {
xfa.host.messageBox("Please check for special characters. The following characters are not allowed: @#$%^&*+=-[]\\\';,./{}|\":<>?~_ ", "Error Message", 3);
// Change the color of the field
oFiled.fillColor = "255,100,50";
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Paul,
It is working now. I don't know what I might have changed.
Here's my final function (It works!):
function checkForSpecialChracters(oFiled)
var userInput = oFiled.rawValue; // take the String entered by the user
var iChars = "@#$%^&*+=-[]\\\';,./{}|\":<>?~_";
var hasSpecialCharacter = false;
for (var i = 0; i < userInput.length; i++)
//app.alert("Value is: " + userInput.charAt(i));
if (iChars.indexOf(userInput.charAt(i)) != -1)
hasSpecialCharacter = true;
break;
} // end if
} // end For loop
if (hasSpecialCharacter)
// Change the color of the field
oFiled.fillColor = "255,100,50";
xfa.host.messageBox("Please check for special characters. \n\nThe following characters are not allowed:\n\n @#$%^&*+=-[]\\\';,./{}|\":<>?~_ ", "Error Message", 3);
else if (!hasSpecialCharacter)
oFiled.fillColor = "255,255,255";

Text edit- Keystrokes for special characters

They've changed the keystroke I use to use for making a checkmark. It was 'Option v'. Now it's not. Is there a chart somewhere showing what teh keystrokes are now for special characters? Thanks so much for any help.

Okay, I found this, http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10758?viewlocale=en_US . Which gives me the Edit/Special Characters. But I still do not find any keystrokes to make my checkmark.

How to install plugin and exta filter in photoshop cs ? and any special filter for special effects ?

how to install plugin and exta filter in photoshop cs ? and any special filter for special effects ?
kindly recommend me any best one and tel me step by step how i will add more plugins n filters

A Plug_in normally come with an installer or install instructions. Check the documentation for the plug-in you trying to install. It sounds like you don't know what plug-ins you want to install. In that case you don't need to install any. At some point you may read about a plug-in and what it can do and feel you have a need for it. Then you will have a reason to install a plug-in that is not installed by default. There may also be a cost involved most worthwhile plug-ins are not free.
Adobe Optional Plug_ins downloads are Plugins Adobe want to remove from Photoshop and no longer install by default. Also at some point in time these will no longer install into the current Photoshop for Adobe will remove feature or interfaces the use. For example the CS5 optional plugins will install in Windows CS6 perpetual version 13.0.1.3 but not in Subscription version 13.1.2 or perpetual Mac version 13.0.6 fot its 64bit only and the Mac CS5 optional plug-in for Picture package is only a 32bit plug-in.
You will need to keep and maintain old versions of Photoshop if Adobe remove features you use in new versions of Photoshop.

Fonts are defined in the template you use to generate the pdf. Your application add the data and both is processed yb the FOP processor. Now there are two possible causes of the '???' :
1. the data you sent to the template contains the '???' already
2. the template can't digest the data (the special characters) and puts '???' in the pdf.
Before going on you have to find out which one is your problem. The 2nd is the problem you better ask this in a FOP forum as you have to solve it by changing the template.

How to escape special xml characters in ALSB

Hi
Can some one tell me how to replace special xml characters < ,> with < and >
I have xml node like below
<payload>
<RatingDetails>
<Action>Add</Action>
</payload>
Using fn-bea:serialize i got xml string as
<payload><RatingDetails><Action>Add</Action></payload>
I want output as below
<payload><RatingDetails><Action>Add</Action></payload>
Appreciate your help
Thanks in Advance

when i use fn-bea:serialize my request xml node converted to xml string.To that string i had escaped special xml characters.
Original request:
<abc>
<a1 >123</a1>
<payload>
<d>345</d>
<e><678></e>
</payload>
</abc>
After using serialize it became as below (everything in one line)
<abc><a1>123</a1><payload><d>345</d><e><678></e></payload></abc>
then i used java callout for replacing special xml chars in payload element,
now my request is
<abc><a1>123</a1><payload><![CDATA[& lt;d& gt;345& lt;/d& gt;& lt;e& gt;& lt;678& gt;& lt;/e& gt;]]></payload></abc>
i dont want my payload data to be enclosed within CDATA but by default i am getting it when i run my xquery for generating request.
This might be because & will not get parsed in xml parser so enclosing evrything in CDATA.
Need solution to remove CDATA and send the payload data as it is..

Symbol Add-on for FrameMaker 10

Hi! Does anyone know of a symbol add-on for Framemaker 10? I used to have one for FrameMaker 7.1 and it of course disappeared when
I upgraded to 10. In the meantime, does anyone know of a cheat sheet for the location of symbol codes?
Thanks!
Cindy

Cindy,
There is a toolbar button in the Quick Access toolbar for a number of symbols:
There also is a table in the FM Help under Keyboard Shortcuts > Entering special characters
(see: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/framemaker/using/WSd817046a44e105e21e63e3d11ab7f7862b-7ff0.htm l)
You can also use the built-in Character Palette (File > Utilities > Character Palette...) to directly enter the symbols available in a specific font.

Send purchase order via email (external send) with special Czech characters

Hi all,
I am sending a purchase order created with ME21N via email to the vendor using "external send".
The mail is delivered without any problems, PO is attached to the mail as PDF file.
Problem is that special Czech characters as "ž" or "u0161" are not displayed, a "#" (hash) appears instead.
This problem occurs when language for PO output = EN.
Tests with language = CS worked out fine, but the whole form incl. all texts are in Czech as well; so no valid solution since it needs to be in English.
We checked SAPCONNECT configuration and raised note 665947; this is working properly.
When displaying the PO (ME23N) special characters are shown correctly as well.
Could you please let me know how to proceed with that issue?!
Thanks.
Florian

Hi!
No, it's not a Unicode system.
It is maintained as:
Tar. Lang. Lang. Output Format Dev. type
Format
PDF EN English PDF1
Using this option, character "ž" was not displayed correctly, but "Ú" was ok.
All other Czech special characters are not tested so far.
Thanks,
Florian

Importing WORD document with special regional characters in RoboHelp X5

Hello,
i have a problem, when im importing a *.doc document. The
document is written in slovene and it contains special regional
characters. Here is the deal:
I was using RoboHelp 4.0 before and i had this same problem.
What i did was, when i added a new topic (imported *.doc file) into
existing project and the WebHelp was generated, in the web browser
i clicked the last added topic and opened a source code, where i
changed the charset from 1252 to 1250. That enabled the special
characters to be viewed correctly. When i imported some additional
topics and generated the WebHelp again, the program somehow "saved"
the 1250 setting in the previous topics and the characters were
correctly shown. I had to adjust 1250 only in the new topics, that
were added before the last generate.
When i try to do the same in RoboHelp X5, this doesnt work.
Program doesnt "remember" the 1250 setting and it always generates
with 1252 character setting. Which is a problem, because there are
a lot of topics and i would have to change the character setting
for every topic/doc document i added.
What can i do ?
Thanks in advance

Special/Swedish characters in an AXL request

Hello,
I am developing an application that is adding a user to the Call Manager (4.1). When I try to add a name with swedish characters (???) the CCM changes them to question marks "?". I have tried adding the swedish characters unicode encoded, ? = &#246, but then I get a AXL syntax error.
Adding the names with swedish characters using the normal CCM interface works fine.
Any idea what I could be doing wrong?
Thanks in advance
Tomas

I believe it would be helpful if you share the code that writes the axl requests (I asked which ones you used.. you did not reply so far).
Here's an addUser request that uses an ? and a ? and my code - based on the java code from the sdk to make axl requests- has no trouble sending it.. and the user is created with the proper characters:
http://www.cisco.com/AXL/1.0" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.cisco.com/AXL/1.0 http://gkar.cisco.com/schema/axlsoap.xsd" sequence="1234">
H?nsliB?nzlihbue1234512345
However, if you do a getuser, and use the same code to send / receive requests, the result will be distorted.. that's because data from the dc directory comes back UTF-8 encoded, whereas data from the database comes back as Latin (that's the default character set on your and my computer).. since the request can be sent without making any changes, that means you don't need UTF-8 encoding.. you should not do anything with the encoding, unless your default character set isn't Latin1 (it's the default throughout Europe.. even if you have an English OS, as long as the regional settings are for a European country, you'll have the proper character set..
Don't forget though: getXYZ comes back latin encoded if the data is from the SQL server, and UTF-8 encoded if it's from the DC directory.. so you have to tell the stream reader that the data is utf-8 encoded when you do a getuser (at least for ccm 4.1.3).

Special ALT Characters on TM2T

Searched "Special Characters" in the board but did not see.
Was wondering if there was any easy shortcut for typing the characters normally displayed by pressing "ALT" and the four-digit code. I did see the "FN" plus arrow keys for navigating through pages which was very useful, hoping for something similar. Thanks for any assistance which can be provided.

CorkyG wrote:
In order to execute those ASCII/ANSI codes, you must have NumLock on. The involves the Fn (blue) key. With it on, you then use alt = the small numbers located on the lower right coner of keys to the right of the Trackpoint head.
This is not easy. I prefer to run charmap.exe, minimize it to the task bar, and copy/paste the characters I need.
I don't know if the old standard way (Num Lock On, ALT+nnn) would work with an external full keyboard.
That would be fine if the built in keyboard actually had a number lock key and the small function numbers and characters on the letter keys. A design flaw as far as I am concerned and a total pain without this functionality.
The other key that is missing is the Windows context menu key to the left of the right Ctrl key - I constantly use this (or did). Instead we have a PrtSc key.
I'll be asking out IT department to find me another laptop.

Special Unicode characters in RSS XML

Hi,
I'm using an adapted version of Husnu Sensoy's solution (http://husnusensoy.wordpress.com/2007/11/17/o-rss-11010-on-sourceforgenet/ - thanks, Husnu) to consume RSS feeds in an Apex app.
It works a treat, except in cases where the source feeds contain special unicode characters such as [right double quotation mark - 0x92 0x2019] (thankyou, http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/GlobalBusiness.xml)
These cases fail with
ORA-31011: XML parsing failed
ORA-19202: Error occurred in XML processing
LPX-00217: invalid character 8217 (U+2019) Error at line 19
Any ideas on how to translate these characters, or replace them with something innocuous (UNISTR?), so that the XML transformation succeeds?
Many thanks,
jd
