Error with smart quotes replacements

Any application that uses TextEdit engine can cause text at ends of lines with smart quotes to be corrupted.
Simple test.
Create a new TextEdit document, Set TextEdit's preferences to have Smart Quotes enabled. Type in some text such as
"I've found an error in the TextEdit runtime engine used by third-party applications."
The Apple support people responded, "really are you sure?"
"Yes I am."
Now save the document and quit the application.
Reopen the document and add a fourth line.
"This should show you the problem."
Then go to the end of the third line and position the insertion point immediately before the closing quotes. Then type,
Now what do you get?
For me the answer is
"Yes I am. N"what do you get?
Notice where the closing quote has been placed. Wrong.

Hi, trying to help. when i installed Enterprise 6.5, there is Hyperion Retrieve bundled with it. So, you must connect through Hyperion Retrieve, which is an add-ins with Excel. I don't think Enterprise (any kind of version) is compatible with SmartView. The way Enterprise works is different with other Hyperion products. So, if you installed all components in Enterprise, better you check in documentation about how to activate Hyperion Retrieve.
Hope it helps.

Replacing quotes/apostrophes with smart quotes/apostrophes

In previous versions of Pages, when pasted content included stardard quotes or apostrophes you could do a quick replace with smart quotes/apostrophes simply by doing a find and replace. Not so with the new Pages 5.
Anyone figured out how to force Pages to do such a replace? Manually trying to do it on a long document is crazy.

What's worse: I just did a global find and replace, trying to fix four dumb quotes in an entire document that I'd cut and pasted--and Pages turned every single smart quote into a dumb quote. In all 92 pages. 1,600 smart quotes dumbified. With no way for me to smarten them up again.
Then, because I'm just as dumb as my quotes, I did the same thing with my single quotes/apostrophes.
I know how I'll be spending my afternoon.

Smart quotes replacement STILL doesn't work

Smart Quotes replacement in Pages STILL isn't fixed (after today's update).
I sent Apple Feedback twice (about two months ago), I called them, I filed tickets…what does it take to fix a menu that DOESN'T WORK?
Seriously, try this…
Create a document with some straight quotes.
Then: Edit, Substitutions, Show Substitutions, make sure Smart Quotes is checked, Replace All.
IT DOESN'T WORK!
(Please someone tell me I'm missing something here. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.)
Running Pages 5.1 (1769), OS X 10.9.1

No, you're doing it right. Try the exact same procedure in TextEdit, which also relies on OS X's text substitutions mechanism for this, and you'll find it works exactly as you expect. This is a lingering bug in Pages 5.

Error with single quotes in open document function

Hi all,
I have an issue with the special characters using the open document function. I'm passing a name, and I'm using the URLEncode function, but it doesn't work for single quotes, it shows a javascript error. I tried with HTMLEncode and it works for single quotes, but not for the other special characters like @,+. I tried with both functions at the same time but it doesn't work either.
Please let me know if you know how to solve it.
Thanks,
Marcela

Hi Prashant,
I did not work it works for single quotes only, but not for other special characters.

Error with "Open/Create/Replace File" function with cancel button

I've attached a very simple VI that embodies what I want to do with my Open File function. I simply want to stop the rest of my program (theoretically encased in the Case Structure) from running if the user deigns not to specify a file location.
However, if the Cancel button is clicked an error is produced before the rest of the program runs. If you ignore the error and continue, the "cancelled' variable is appropriately made true and the Case Structure runs properly. I simply want to remove the error message LabView gives me.
Any ideas on why or how?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The cancel button gives you error code 43 (if I remember correctly). After your file vi's, use the general error handler (GEH) to clear this error (and no other errors). Use
[exception action]=Cancle Error on Match
[exception code]=43
type of dialog=no dialog

Deployment error with Sales Quote Demo 11.1.1.4.0

I am trying to deploy Sales Quote Demo 11.1.1.4.0, but I get the following error:
Error(25,49): package oracle.bpel.worklistapp.dc.ale.beans.view does not exist
Error(26,43): package oracle.bpel.worklistapp.dc.ale.util does not exist
does anybody else get the same error?

You need to add couple of libraries to the BPReviewUI project for it to successfully compile. Here are the steps:
1. In the Jdeveloper, right click on the BPReviewUI project and then select project properties.
2. Click on the "Libraries and Classpath" in the left side
3. In the right side window, click on "Add Library" button
4. Select these 3 libraries - BPEL Runtime, BPM Workflow and BPM Worklist components
That should do it....

Find and replace smart quotes with straight quotes?

I understand I can turn off smart quotes so that I can type straight quotes, but I need to replace hundreds of curly smart quotes with straight quotes, is there a feature that will let me do this? I am using FM8.
Thanx,
Willian

I am using FM9....so I don't know if the same shortcuts apply, but this is what I found out last week.
Use the Find and Replace tool:
With smart quotes turned off and the Num Lock key turned on:
Alt0147 will give you beginning quotation marks
Alt0148 will give you ending quotation marks
In the Find box use ALT0147 or ALT0148 for the beginning or ending quotes. When you click in the box and type
one of the shortcuts the correct quote will be shown in the box.
In the replace box type the regular straight quotes on your keyboard.
I was thrilled that it would work!...course you do have to do them separately and be careful not to replace the curly quotes
that you want to leave in your document.
Hope this helps using FM8....

Tip: Placing Straight Quotes without turning off Smart Quotes

I thought I was alone in this dilemma until I read a recent thread from someone wishing to easily place straight quotes into a document. Prior to this, the quickest way for me to place straight quotes into a document was to copy/paste them from a text editor. Even when you try to add straight quotes using the ASCII code for them, Frame overrides this and replaces them with smart quotes.
Last week when I was customizing the Frame 9 interface (because it is ungodly poor) I stumbled across the native command for inserting straight quotes regardless whether Smart Quotes is turned on or not. The native command is "CharStraightQuote", but you have a lot of options with how you want to implement it. Because there are so many different ways to implement this, I will describe only the default method.
There is a flyout toolbar for special symbols. The content of this flyout is controlled from your "menus.cfg" file and is near the top of the file. I believe you can add the following line anywhere within the "menus.cfg" file, but you will find similar entries about 30 lines down from the top of the file.
<Add CharStraightQuote <Menu SpecialSymbols>>
By the way, if you look through your "cmds.cfg" file, especially near this CharStraightQuote entry, you will find a whole bunch of similar entries that are useful and could also be added to your menus.

To insert the straight quotes directly from the keyboard (overriding Smart Quotes): press Escape, then type quotes.
(note: no need to hold down the Escape key)

Microsoft Word "Smart Quotes"

I hope this will save other developers some time.
This may be obvious to others, but I just spent several hours Googling and testing to determine what actually happens when a user copies text containing "Smart Quotes" from Microsoft Word into a Java JTextComponent. For those not familiar with Smart Quotes, by default, MS Word changes double-quoted strings from using the US-ASCII character for quote (0x22) into left- and right- curly quotes (UTF-16: 0x201c and 0x201d). Word also does this with serveral other characters. This plays havoc with the display and Java Strings later encoded with java.beans.XMLEncoder, unless treated carefully. Here is what I discovered (obviously, this applies to MS Windows):
All values are in hexadecimal.
- Word is storing the character for double quote as UTF-16 internally (201C).
- When the character is copied to the clipboard, it is copied as UTF-8 (E2 80 9C).
- When the clipboard is pasted into Java, Java is assuming the it was originally Windows-1252 encoded, because that is the default for the US-EN locale in Windows XP (probably also Vista, but I only tested in XP).
- Java translates this into a-circumflex, euro-sign, o-e-ligature, the characters corresponding to E2, 80, and 9C respectively in Windows-1252 and represents it internally in UTF-16 as 00E2 20AC 0153.
-When the String is XML-encoded using java.beans.XMLEncoder, it is written in UTF-8 as C3A2 E282AC C593, which equates to UTF-16 00E2 20AC 0153 -- the characters a-circumflex, euro-sign, o-e-ligature.
I am not sure how to fix this, but maybe another reader does. I am experimenting with the Clipboard (java.awt.datatransfer) to see if I can programmatically find out the original character encoding (in this case, UTF-16).

Doesn't the DataFlavor contain the character encoding? What is the content of the InputStream returned by
            InputStream is = (InputStream)contents.getTransferData(DataFlavor.getTextPlainUnicodeFlavor());
If I use
                DataFlavor df = DataFlavor.getTextPlainUnicodeFlavor();
                String mimeType = df.getMimeType();
                String encoding = mimeType.replaceAll(".*?charset=(.*?)\\s*$", "$1");
                InputStream is = (InputStream) contents.getTransferData(df);
                ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
                byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
                for (int count = 0; (count = is.read(buffer)) != -1;)
                    baos.write(buffer, 0, count);
                baos.close();
                result = baos.toString(encoding);to transfer
Hello "World"

How to Turn off Smart Quotes

I am unable to turn off “smart quotes” (for the purpose of entering computer code). I have unchecked the box in System Preferences > Language > Keyboard, and in Safari and Mail under the Edit Menu > Substitutions (also in Word and TextEdit), but the smart or ”curly quotes“ continue to appear in each application. Is there any way to fix this in Mavericks? I am running OS X 10.9.3

TL;DR: AFAIK, nobody tries to use Microsoft Word for programming in Python, or programming in general, and TextEdit is dicy here at best.

There is clearly an issue with smart quotes in your configuration. The global smart quotes setting is not being honored, nor is any local setting that might exist.
Which particular application are you using to edit your Python code when this problem arises?
(As with programming in general, details matter here.)
Did the tools you are using also get restarted after the global settings were changed?
Why ask this stuff? This information will allow folks to see if there's something else going on within that particular application, and it's also because there are text tools around that just won't create text files that the Python interpreter can process — whatever you're using here is probably closer to creating a plain-text file than some, as you're noticing the smart quotes here, though. Of what you've mentioned so far, Microsoft Word is not known for its ability to create ASCII or UTF-8 text files, and TextEdit is dicy here at best as that tool is quite fond of using RTF formats.
But if it's Word or TextEdit you're using? That won't work at all well.   TextWrangler (free) is a common choice for folks that prefer a GUI editor, or MacVim (free) or whatever emacs is current (also free) or other such if you'd prefer a more advanced editor. (Note: vim and emacs are much more cryptic, and much more powerful editors.) Or use the included nano editor (has an on-screen list of commands), or the integrated vim or emacs editors at the command line.   There are also Python IDE packages around, as well. (Xcode doesn't support Python, though there are reports of some success with it.) These tools all work, and these tools all produce the sorts of sequential text files that the compilers and interpreters can process.   In some cases, these tools also provide syntax highlighting and other features, which can be very useful when coding, too.

Problem with javascript/PHP/ oracle 10g smart quotes

I have a problem with my php form that passes the text field to a javascript object. When I copy text from MS Word that includes smart quotes, the form inputs that into the database as ? (upside down) marks. The charset of the DB is WE8MSWIN1252. How do I store these smart quotes as regular quotes? And also if I can do any conversions on the front end (js or php). I tried doing some conversion but to no avail. Any help would be appreciated thank you. “double”

Decide if you want your HTML pages in Windows code page 1252 or Unicode UTF-8. Then, make sure the pages are properly tagged as either "text/html;charset=windows-1252" or "text/html;charset=utf-8". Use HTTP header Content-type or the corresponding <META HTTP-EQUIV=...> tag. Then, set NLS_LANG environment variable for your PHP engine to either AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252 or to AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32UTF8, depending on which encoding you selected for your HTML.

Firefox is replacing double quotes with single quotes.

In WordPress and at other sites where I input and save text, Firefox is replacing double quotes with single quotes when I save. It's also showing double quotes as single quotes on websites. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, and it's still happening.

Do you have the needed font installed?

Replacing Adobe forms with Smart Forms for printing FPM based forms

Hello All,
This pertains to HCM Process and Forms with Floor Plan Manager (FPM) based forms.
SAP has provided Adobe Forms as the standard print option for FPM based forms, as can be seen in the attached screenshot.
We want to use the FPM based forms without using Adobe Document Services (ADS). I am checking the feasibility of replacing the PDF forms with Smart Forms, either through configuration or customization.
System Landscape: ECC 6.0 EhP6
Any inputs or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Arun.

Hi Ketul,
Irrespective of the process or scenario, we would like to use Smart Forms instead of Adobe Forms. As seen in the screenshot, SAP has provided the default option of generating a PDF form. This requires installing and using Adobe Document Services. We would like to remove this dependency on Adobe Document Services.
Instead, we would like to use Smart Forms for printing purposes.
This requirement is not tied to any specific process or scenario, but to any business process implemented using HCM Process and Forms framework.
Let me know if you need any further clarifications.
Regards,
Arun.

Im from the philippines and have a line with smart telco do they offer out of warranty replacement

Im from the philippines and my iphone was from a line with smart. Unfortunately i dropped it in water abd asked smart if they offer repair or put of warranty replacement and until now they seem to be clueless with those...

According to their twitter account i shud be offered out of warranty service but they seem clueless on the wireless center... I dont know if anyone here had the same experience as i did...
Anyways i did the uncooked rice technique and my iphone seem to be working fine... Im just worried that in the long run the damage would be more apparent...
