[mysql] Extra Characters Added

I've just switched to mySQL from Access. When I add a new
News Article to the site using my CMS extra characters are added to
the beginning of the "longtext" columns. You can see it here after
the published date.
http://www.ncadfed.org/news/?loc=news&n_id=24
Does anyone know how to stop this from happening.
I'm using CFMX6 and mySQL4
Thanks

I hope I don't have to do that as I'd have to switch 100
cfupdates and cfinserts. I'm on shared hosting so I have to use
mySQL 4 since that is all they offer at this time. I've sent the
following link to my host with no response, I'm hoping it will fix
it. I read in a post that it does.

Technical issue SAP F110 related issue. getting extra characters in outgoing file from sap.

Hi Technical guru's,
SAP system creating a outgoing file through F110- t-code, this outgoing file has extra characters (DOC.NO:)
We need to remove these extra characters. Once Payment run has been carried out through F110, in SM37 in job spool it is showing like screen attached with name “file from sm37”.
But when we look in to outgoing file directory extra characters as I mentioned above is appearing below is the related screen attached with name “out gooing file”.
Gurus can anyone please suggest me where I can check about this. I have checked the program available in the job as well in the F110 transaction.But could not find any hint.
Programs which I find in SM37.
SAPF110S
SAPFPAYM_SCHEDULE
RFFOSE_B
Programs which are available in F110.
RFFOAVIS
RFFOEDI1
RFFOSE_B
Does extra characters coming through functional configuration (DME configuration) or coming through SAP standard programs.
I am Technical person. I need to solve this issue guys please help me in this.
If above information is not sufficient let me know what are the other information should I provide.

I didn't get any resolution so far also I can't convert into Adobe form because this is a production issue which should be fix by making the requied setting or changes in SAP script itself we can't go for new developmet for this isuue.

BUG: Extra characters at the end of attachment file names

I received complaints that my attachments didn't open on the PC's of the recipients. After I saw the messages I noticed there were extra characters at the end of their file names. That's why they wouldn't open. When I looked into my sent mail folder it was there as well. The addition took place when I sent the mail, while composing everything looked fine. It took me a while to realize the pattern. There was one extra for every non-ASCII character in the file name.
Apparently Mail.app is using two different libraries. The other one counts the non-ASCII characters as two while the other doesn't. I don't know whether Finder still uses MacRoman or Unicode, but this seems to relate to double-byte characters.
The short term solution is to use only ASCII for file names, but that's not what OS X is all about.

The class files are broken. Recompile them. If you're uploading them, doublecheck if the FTP program used doesn't do mad things with binary files.

Extra characters at end of line in spool file

I am trying to generate csv files from SQL Developer using queries written to spool files. I have embedded the queries and associated set commands in script files and call them, as advised elsewhere. This gives csv files that look fine, with headings and data comma separated and enclosed with double quotes. The problem is that the files seem to contain a lot of extra characters at the end of each line. They seem to be spaces, but not sure. This is causing problems for the person trying to load the data.
I'm using version SQL Developer 3.1.07.42, Java 1.6.0_11.
Any ideas on how to avoid the extra spaces appearing? Thanks for any help.
Ben.

Jeff,
The SQL in the script file is below. To be honest, I have reduced it down to a simple select from dual and it still puts extra spaces at the end of the single line.
col ord noprint
spool test.csv
SELECT ' ' ord,
'ZONE_ORDER_NUMBER'||','||
'ZONE_NAME'||','||
'ZONE_TYPE'||','||
'DESCRIPTION'||','||
'START_DATE'||','||
'END_DATE'
FROM dual
UNION ALL
SELECT zone_name ord,
'"'||zone_order_number||'"'||','||
'"'||zone_name||'"'||','||
'"'||zone_type||'"'||','||
'"'||description||'"'||','||
'"'||TO_CHAR(start_date,'DD-MON-YY')||'"'||','||
'"'||TO_CHAR(end_date,'DD-MON-YY')||'"'
FROM zones
ORDER BY ord;
spool off

Convert PDF font ITCFranklinGothicStd-MdCd add extra characters with CR2008

My customer has several reports that are used the ITCFranklinGothicStd-MdCd font.
We've had some users tell us that their reports are showing extra characters - specifically, it inserts the letter "i" after every lower-case "f". For example, 'Ref.' becomes 'Refi' and 'For' becomes 'Fior' (there's no letter "i" inserted after the capital "F" - it only inserts after lower-case).
We've determined that the problem is due to the fact that we're using the ITCFranklinGothicStd-MdCd font; if we use a different font, it works fine. Also, if the end-user copies text from the generated PDF and pastes it into another document, it renders the correct spelling. So for example if they copy "Fior" out of the PDF and paste it into Notepad, it shows "For" as it normally should.
We cannot change the font, but we should solve the problem.
Use Crystal Report 2008 and Adobe Acrobat 9.
How can I solve?

Hi Ivan,
This seems like it's PDF issue. You said "So for example if they copy "Fior" out of the PDF and paste it into Notepad, it shows "For" as it normally should."
This suggests to me that PDF is having problem rendering that font.
Do they have a TTF version of that font?
What happens if you export to Word format, do you see it correctly?
You may want to post your question to Adobe's forum and possibly the the makers of the font also.
Thank you
Don

Hyperlinks created in CS6 introduce extra characters

I've noticed that when I create hyperlinks in InDesign CS6 (v 8.0.1) it adds extra characters in the URL, thus breaking the link. For example [red highlights problem areas]...
Correct hyperlink typed into InDesign:
http://portfolio.epri.com/ProgramTab.aspx?sId=ENV&rId=220&pId=6931
InDesign renders the URL this way:
http://portfolio.epri.com/ProgramTab.aspx%3FsId%3DENV%26rId%3D220%26pId%3D6931
This happens on both a Mac and a pc. I never experienced this problem in earlier versions of InDesign.
I found an earlier discussion about this problem but it doesn't appear that Adobe has fixed it. A corrective script was offered by Laubender in that discussion. However, I create a lot of docs with a lot of links and would rather avoid that type of solution.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Use laubender's script solution. It is the most straightforward fix.

Contacts notes still have extra characters

No device
I have a pre that's 2 yrs old. I have been reading that the extra characters < br / > issue is known; in fact 2 other posts from 2010 were closed. I still have this problem; I added a contact 10 minutes ago and notes still added extra characters. The extra characters have never gone away since arriving a year (?) or more? any help coming?

Hmm...
OK - I just went into icloud settings on my iphone and figured I would toggle off the notes, back out and then go back and toggle notes back on... this was the one set of data that wasn't critical if I list it.
Notes came back, reminders are now back and contacts are now back... Still would love to know why these all disappeared in the first place. All seems to be back to normal though.

UPDATE tablesubtype
SET SUBTYPES = TRIM (SUBTYPES);Doing RTRIM alone will not suffice coz it'll only remove Right Spaces and NOT Left ones.
I guess, in your case doing a TRIM will be more beneficial to be safe and prevent any left spaces in future.
For intermediate spaces... try this.
UPDATE tablesubtype
SET SUBTYPES = REGEXP_REPLACE (SUBTYPES, ' ', '');Hope this Helps,

Add hyperlink in mail is adding extra characters to URL

When I paste the add a hyperlink to a page called Recent News on my .mac site, extra characters are added to the url causing the page not to be found.
"...Site/Recent%20News/D3A....html" becomes "...Site/Recent%2520News/D3A....html". I have no problem adding a hyperlink for my welcome page. Any ideas?

I don't know how to fix it, but I can at least tell you what's happening. The "%20" is the encoding for a space character in a URL, " ". This is being turned into "%2520" because the "%" is being encoded as "%25" (the encoding for "%" in a URL), so "%20" is turning into "%2520".

Extra characters appearing in Stickies and TextEdit

Having a problem with the design computer at work. Font issues all over the place. For instance, I'm trying to type into this field, and my cursor isn't exactly lined up with the text... so I don't really know where I am . It's inserting extra characters and spaces into the text field. This is happening on Stickies and TextEdit... and not anywhere else... not with Mozilla Thunderbird or MS Word. Weird.. Also the font is very light... as If I'm missing a core font.. which is possible because I used FontExplorer X (from LynoType) to clear the font cache and remove fonts from the system folder than weren't installed by Apple. I t may have screwed up the font folder... I might need to reinstall fonts, but I don't want to reinstall the system if I can avoid it. Any suggestions?

How set maximum of characters for the columns

Hello I use a JTable and I want to set maximum of characters for the columns.
For example column 1 max 10 characters, column 2 max 20 characters, etc..
How can I do this?

The principle is as follows: a table uses certain input components for editing a cell value, e.g. a JCheckBox for Boolean-type values or a JTextField for textual/numerical values. By default, a JTextField doesn't have any size limit, so you can enter as many chars as you want. In order to change this behaviour, you'll have to
1.) create a JTextField that does have a size limit and
2.) set a CellEditor on the JTable which uses this manipulated JTextField.
An easy way for 1.) is to create a custom Document (the internal data representation for text components, the M-part of the MVC -- see javax.swing.text.Document) that doesn't accept any text beyond a given limit, e.g.:
public class LimitedDocument extends PlainDocument {
private int max = 0;
public LimitedDocument(int max) {
    this.max = max;
public void insertString(int offset, String str, AttributeSet a) throws BadLocationException {
    // too long for the limit; get current contents, insert, and cut off trailing chars
    if ((getLength() + str.length()) > max) {
      StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer(getText(0,getLength()));
      buf.insert(offset,str);
      remove(0,len); // remove current text contents
      super.insert(0,buf.toString().substring(0,max),a); // insert whole text
    // no problem, will fit
    else {
      super.insertString(offset,str,a);
}Then, in order to set the cell editor -- for example for the first column --, you can do as follows:
myTable.getColumnModel().getColumn(0).setCellEditor(new DefaultCellEditor(new JTextField(new LimitedDocument(5),"",5)));This will create a new DefaultCellEditor (see javax.swing.table) and initialize it with a given text field which will be responsible for any edition in this column. As the text field itself is created using a limit of 5, it should accept no text insertion beyond 5 chars.
