How do I find file names containing special character

hi all
I need your help with a code that deals with finding file names containing special characters like * / \ : ? " |
the reason is I am doing a project that transfer files and folders from Mac to Windows. But names containing above characters cant be moved to windows.
the part of the code I write is like this
set illegal_syntax to paragraphs of (do shell script "find " & quoted form of POSIX path of oneFolder & " -name '*'")
if (illegal_syntax is not equal to {""}) then
repeat with each_record in illegal_syntax
do shell script "/usr/bin/ditto -c -k -rsrc --keepParent " & quoted form of each_record & space & quoted form of (each_record & ".zip")
end repeat
end if
First of all that '' will gives me an error.
Second, what i tried to do is once the file/folder is found, zip it at current location. But the problem is how can I zip it without the special character? or should I just give it a name, like "originalfile.zip";?
Last, or maybe you have better idea to deal with this situation? BTW, I can not rename or delete the file/folder because customer won't allow me to do it.

The backslash is used to escape characters in AppleScript, so if you want to use it in a string you need to escape the escape character, for example "\\*".
You could set the name of the archive by replacing the illegal character with another one, such as an underscore:
<pre title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor" style="font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: 10px; padding: 5px; border: 1px solid #000000; width: 720px; color: #000000; background-color: #FFDDFF; overflow: auto">set each_record to "some*file*name" -- example
set {TempTID, AppleScript's text item delimiters} to {AppleScript's text item delimiters, "*"}
set the ItemList to text items of each_record
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "_"
set each_record to the ItemList as text
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to TempTID
log each_record --> some_file_name
</pre>

Column name in a query contains special characters

Hi folks,
The column name in a query contains special characters. For example ~ or ^. The creator of the table put these column names under double quotation while creating the table. When I get the column names form the result set meta data object it returns without quotation. Is there any way to tell the jdbc driver so that it return those column names as it was created, I mean in double quotation.
The help is urgent. I will appreciate any suggestions. Thanks �.
[using oracle driver for 10g]
Thanks
Angelina

Just because the column names were in quotations when the database was created doesn't mean that the quotes are actually part of the names. What's inside the quotes is what makes the column name in the database. If I created a column as "abcd" and put it in quotes just like that ("abcd"), it would go in the database as abcd since SQL would strip off the quotes.
And there's your answer. Just put all column names in quotes whenever you need to talk to SQL. It will strip off the quotes and understand.
I think SQL will also accept square brackets ([ and ]).

Select name without special characters

I have a table with names, some of which contain special characters('/','\','#','&'). I need to select the names columns with certain conditions.
1. The name with these special characters should not be picked, esp. when another same name (without the special characters exists
e.g: if I have 2 entries ABC& and ABC, I should select ABC
2. If no entries are clear of this special characters, pick the last name.
e.g: if I have 2 entries ABC& and ABC#, I should select ABC#.
Please help me device the code for this.

Why does text on certain portions of websites, usually when adjacent text contains special characters, become jumbled into seemingly random sets of characters that are not in any way jumbled when viewing the source of the webpage? How can I fix this?

When viewing most text on most websites, it displays properly. However, there are two instances where text will either tend to, or consistently, become jumbled into a mess of seemingly random characters. Oddly enough, these seemingly random characters are not, in fact, random. The same weird character will be used to replace the same regular English text character consistently across the entire area that has been jumbled.
The two instances where this tends to occur most often, or consistently in some cases, are, first, when a paragraph or particular section of formatted text contains special characters, such as Chinese or Japanese characters, or accented letters. When this happens, usually the paragraph that contains the special characters is completely jumbled, while the rest of the text on the page will have intermittent jumbling on a word or two. Most often, the word "the" is jumbled in this case.
The second instance where this happens is when a website uses specially formatted text in some form or another. I, not being an expert at web development, am not sure what kind of formatting causes it, but I can provide consistent examples in lieu of my experience:
- Example 1:
[http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/9564/firefoxcharencodingissu.jpg]
Example 1 shows a portion of a screen-shot of the website "Joystiq.com". Every single article title on the front page of this blog is consistently jumbled, while the text of the article itself remains untouched. Please note that when this jumbled text is highlighted, it is visible un-jumbled in the right-click menu as well as in the source code of the page. Other consistent instances can be found within many search fields on various websites. For instance, the search bar located at the top right of "Kotaku.com" consistently displays jumbled characters both on its default text of "Search" and on any text that is typed into the search box itself.
- Example 2:
[http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/9564/firefoxcharencodingissu.jpg]
Example 2 shows both the jumbling of the paragraph containing the character "☆" as well as the subsequent peppering of the rest of the article's text with small jumbled words. Below this is the DOM Source of the selected text which shows how the text itself is being rendered properly within the site's source. Additionally, for convenience, I have edited on to the bottom of the image a small snippet of what the search bar on the same page looks like. Notice how the grayed-out text that normally would read "Search" is instead jumbled.
This issue has been plaguing my browser for the past year or so, and I had hoped that it would go away with subsequent Firefox updates. It has not gone away.
Thank you for reading! Please help!

This issue can be caused by an old bitmap version of the Helvetica or Geneva font or (bitmap) fonts that Firefox can't display in that size.
Firefox can't display some old bitmap fonts in a larger size and displays gibberish instead.
You can test that by zooming out (View > Zoom > Zoom Out, Ctrl -) to make the text smaller.
Uninstall (remove) all variants of that not working font to make Firefox use another font or see if you can find a True type version that doesn't show the problem.
There have also been fonts with a Chinese name reported that identify themselves as Helvetica, so check that as well.
Use this test to see if the Helvetica font is causing it (Copy & Paste the code in the location bar and press Enter):
<pre><nowiki>data:text/html,
Helvetica abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ 
Helvetica Neue abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
</nowiki></pre>
You should reset the network.http prefs that show user set on the about:config page. 
Not all websites support http pipelining and if they do not then you can have issues with images or other problems.

Need help in setting file name with special characters in attachment

Hi
We have a requirement where we need to set the file name that contains special characters (like Russian) and send mauil using Java mail.
If we set the file name as such, the attachment in the email contains garbled filename
Can you pl let me know how to resolve this?
We should use the file name as attachment name and this will have say special characters. The receiver who gets the mail should get with the correct attachment name
One important point.. the attachments are opened from MS outlook.
Thanks and regards
Ram

Read the FAQ carefully. You don't need to call encodeText unless you're using a really
old version of JavaMail.
And, it depends on whether the mail reader you're using is handling encoded parameters
according to the (new) MIME standard, or according to the (old) non-standard hack.
Sadly, without knowing what mail reader the recipient is using, it's impossible to use
encoded filenames that will work everywhere.

Error occured while importing xsd.file(Name contains invalid characters: -

Hello,
i muss import xsd.file. while importing this error occured:

Only a(A)-z(Z), 0-9, and "_" are permitted
This xsdfile name is CCTS_CCT_SchemaModule-2.0 but PI doesn't accept "-". But i muss use this file because this file is standart. What can i do for this?
Thanks
Nurhan
Edited by: Nurhan on Oct 18, 2011 11:22 AM

HI,
PI doestnt support special characters like '-'. first you need to change the file name as you specify '-'. to remove that and you have to give '_'. then uyou have to impot >XSD file into ESR under ExternalDefination.
i hope this will help you.

Refresh tool and table name containing database name in Mysql

Hi,
when refreshing the database schema and my table name contains a database name (for example "my_other_db.my_other_table"), the refresh tool never sees weather "my_other_db.my_other_table" already exists or not. so it always generates a create-table-statement (which is syntactically correct, but of course fails, because that table exists already).
Is there known workaround for it? I am using Mysql 5.0.x, jdbc driver 5.0.7, Kodo 4.1.4 (but this problem was there before).
Right now i'm deleting the database names from my package.jdo-files, then doing the refresh command and after that i put back the database names. At runtime Kodo works very well with the database name before the table name.
Thanks very much,
Markus

How to validate string that contains special characters.

Hi,
I am new to Data Services.I took excel sheet as a data source .Now i have do some validation functions like vendorgroup should not contain special characters ,name cleansing operations etc.. So,please anyone help me redarding this.
Thanks in advance

Anonymous,
No this is not a bug. Working with multi-select lists or any item which stores colon delimited values can be tricky to work with in APEX. There are a few work arounds for this. One is to replace the colons with something else like you described and then replace the colons on the landing page. Another solution is to send the primary key for that record and have an automatic row fetch or a computation pull the colon delimited value.
Cheers,

Dynamic column Name# Contains Invalid Characters. Bind_table() fails

Hi WD experts,
I have tried to use the bind_table() on a dynamically generated table. Now it happens that this dynamic table contains columns like NAME# . This gave rise to a dump :
The Name NAME# Contains Invalid Characters. Valid Characters are A-Z, 0-9, _, and /.
Other tables which do not have such columns are correctly bound.
In my method , I first loop over the field catalog to retrieve some field names from a dynamicallt generated report...
LOOP AT lt_fieldcat_out INTO lwa_fieldcat.
    comp-name = lwa_fieldcat-fieldname.
    comp-type ?= cl_abap_typedescr=>DESCRIBE_BY_DATA( lwa_fieldcat-FIELDNAME ).
    APPEND comp TO comp_tab.
ENDLOOP.
structure which represents the dynamic table
struct_type = cl_abap_structdescr=>get(
                                          p_components = comp_tab
                                          p_strict = abap_FALSE   ).
node_info = wd_context->get_node_info( ).
node_info = node_info->add_new_child_node(
                              name        = 'DYN_TAB_NODE'
                              IS_MANDATORY                 = ABAP_TRUE
                               IS_MANDATORY_SELECTION       = ABAP_FALSE
                               IS_MULTIPLE                  = ABAP_TRUE
                               IS_MULTIPLE_SELECTION        = ABAP_FALSE
                               IS_SINGLETON                 = ABAP_FALSE
                               IS_INITIALIZE_LEAD_SELECTION = ABAP_FALSE
                              static_element_rtti = struct_type
                              is_static = abap_false
struct_type = node_info->GET_STATIC_ATTRIBUTES_TYPE( ).
Afterwards, I bind a dynamic table to the new node...
Do you have an idea how to circumvent this ?
Thank you,
cheers,Zied.

Outlook Folder name contained invalid characters or is only spaces

Folder name contained invalid characters or is only spaces

Hi,
It seems the issue is that you receive the message when you are using Outlook.
First please let me know, what type of account are you using in Outlook? Exchange, IMAP or POP3?
I suggest you logon the Webmail/OWA to check whether there are any special characters in the folder names. If there are, remove the special characters and check if Outlook still prompts this message.
This issue can also be caused by some anti-virus program or 3rd-party add-ins. Please disable the anti-virus program temporarily to check the result. I also suggest you start Outlook in Safe Mode to determine whether it's related to add-ins:
Press Win + R, type "outlook.exe /safe" in the blank box, press Enter.
If there's no problem in Outlook Safe Mode, go to FILE -> Options -> Add-Ins to disable the suspicious add-ins to verify which on caused this problem.
Since the information you provided is quite limited, you can also let me know what you have done recently to the PC or Outlook before this issue occurred.
