File name character encoding in zipped file

Hi All,
I have the following problem: I have received a zipped file which contains a folder and file structure. The file was zipped on Windows XP with Czech language. The problem is that the folder/file names use Czech characters (codepage CP1250). The characters in filenames after unzipping the structure are corrupted.
Is there any way how to define the codepage during unzipping or, more in general, way how to convert file names in one codepage to UTF-16 used in Mac's file system?
Thanks for ideas.

You might give this a try for converting the filenames after unzipping, though I think it is designed for the old Mac CE encoding rather than the Windows version:
http://support.apple.com/downloads/FileName_Encoding_RepairUtility
Otherwise the only option may be manually converting the text strings with something like TextWrangler.

How to get the entries in a jar/zip file contained within a jar/zip file?

If I want to list the jar/zip entries in a jar/zip file contained within a jar/zip file how can I do that?
In order to get to the entry enumeration I need a Zip/JarFile:
ZipFile zip = new ZipFile("C:/java_dev/Java_dl/java_jdk_commander_v36d.zip");
// Process the zip file. Close it when the block is exited.
try {
// Loop through the zip entries and print the name of each one.
for (Enumeration list =zip.entries(); list.hasMoreElements(); ) {
ZipEntry entry = (ZipEntry) list.nextElement();
System.out.println(entry.getName());
finally {
zip.close();
Zip file "java_jdk_commander_v36d.zip" contains two zip entries:
1) UsersGuide.zip
2) JDKcommander.exe
How to list the entries in "jar:file:/C:/java_dev/Java_dl/java_jdk_commander_v36d.zip!/UsersGuide.zip"?
The following code:
URL url = new URL("jar:file:/C:/java_dev/Java_dl/java_jdk_commander_v36d.zip!/UsersGuide.zip");
JarURLConnection jarConnection = (JarURLConnection)url.openConnection();
zipFile = (ZipFile)jarConnection.getJarFile();
would point to "jar:file:/C:/java_dev/Java_dl/java_jdk_commander_v36d.zip", which is no help at all and Class JarURLConnection does not have an enumeration method.
How can I do this?
Thanks.
Andre

I'm not sure I understand the problem. The difference between a zip and jar file is the manifest file; JarFile is extended from ZipFile and is able to read the manifest, other than that they are the same. Your code
for (Enumeration list =zip.entries(); list.hasMoreElements(); ) {
ZipEntry entry = (ZipEntry) list.nextElement();
System.out.println(entry.getName());
}is close to what I've use for a jar, below. Why not use the same approach? I don't understand what you're trying to do by using JarURLConnection - it's usually used to read the jar contents.
String jarName = "";
JarFile jar = null;
try
    jar = new JarFile(jarName);
catch (IOException ex)
    System.out.println("Unable to open jarfile" + jarName);
    ex.printStackTrace();
for ( Enumeration en = jar.entries() ; en.hasMoreElements() ;)
    System.out.println(en.nextElement());
}

Dynamic File Name depending on the Source File name

Hi Experts,
I have a problem like Dynamic File name depending on the Source File Name. I will explain with example as follwos
Source File name                 Targer Folder/Filename
NK01.VR59.L2007030         VR59/Rec.l200
NK01.VR71.L2017030         VR71/Rec.l201
NK01.VR77.L2027030         VR77/Rec.l202
See above the exaple, Depending on the Source file name, I am deciding where i need to place my file and what name i need to name it.
So please suggest me the solution and How can i do this with a single communication channel ? Do i need to create multiple CC for each folder??
Points will be rewarded for Valuable anwer.
Thanks in Advance,
Best Regads,

Hi VIjay,
Thanks for quick reply. But i am getting error in End to End Scenarios only. If i remove the Return " " statement from the UDF, while activating it is showing the error saying like missing return statement. I also mapped to the top most node to this UDF.

Saving files as type in a zip file

This is probably more simple than I think it is, but I'm having trouble reading files back correctly (outside the program) after I've programmatically made the zip file.
I'm trying to zip up selected contents of a database by getting the item, and then writing the contents of the database entry out to the zip file through a byte stream. This all works fine, but all the entries in the zip file are "files" with no extension, so they don't open properly, if at all. Is there a way to save file types correctly in a zip file based on content? The database doesn't preserve filenames, all items are referred to by unique ID's. Any help is much appreciated.

Is there a way to save file types correctly in a zip file based on content? The database doesn't preserve filenames, all items are referred to by unique ID's. Any help is much appreciated.The bottom line is that your question has nothing to do with zipping at all. You have files and they aren't saved with an extension. I would suggest you get that changed so that when you pull the data from the BLOB filed you can give it a unique name and sensible extension.
That will solve your problem.
The zipping is an extra step but totally irrelevent here.Thanks for the response.
I understand what you're saying, but I can't change the way the information is being stored or pulled from the database, I'm going to be honest with you here this is a big mistake. Fixing what meta data is available about the file in the database is the proper solution here. The person who originally made the database design made a serious error in not accounting for this information.
There is no simple way to do this. You'll have to actually look at the content of the file and determine as best you can what type of file it is. There are some third party libraries that do this sort of thing like http://sourceforge.net/projects/jmimemagic/
But depending on how many types of data this could get ugly in a hurryThat is the OPEN question here though ... how many type of data. If more than say, one, you're so right. But if it's all the same stuff, than there sould be no pblm.

How can I change the report file name depending on which seq file is run in the main seq?

I'm using TestStand 3.0.
I have a main sequence file with a menu option to select one of several sequence files to run.
How can I get TestStand to change report file name to the selected sequence file rather than the main sequence file name?
Thanks
Harminder

Hi Harminder
Try RunState.Root.Locals.ReportFilePath = "PathToMyFile.xxx"

Get file name/path of current .cfm file...

i am going to make a "tracking" script for a website. my idea is to add a <CFINCLUDE> to every .cfm file on the server (right at the end, so it would be easier to remove when im done), and have the script that is included add a record to a database that contains the file name/path of the .cfm file. for example, index.cfm will include trackscript.cfm, and after the index.cfm is processed, a database will have a record in it containing the file name/path for index.cfm.
i am new to coldfusion, but i think i have everything figured out, except how to get the name of the file that will be added to the database. is there some kind of function or variable available that will give me the filename of the currently executing .cfm file?

I don't think sticking a <cfinclude> call into every file is really a very good way of doing this.
You should have a look at using onRequestEnd() for this sort of thing.
There are various variables in the CGI scope which one can use to build the originating URL of the current request; CGI.script_name and CGI.query_string are probably the most helpful here. One can resolve the underlying file system path form a URL using expandPath().

Can't print a PDF file that is within a ZIP file.

Can’t print a PDF file that is within a ZIP file. Get message “Windows cannot complete the transaction. The destination file could not be created.” If I save the file and extract the pdf it works. I didn't have to go through this hastle before. If I retry many times it will often work.

ZIP files can be handled in many different ways. If you have a program like WinZip or 7-Zip installed, they will handle it.
If not, Windows will handle it. The message you quote indicates that your situation is handled by Windows, which seems to have a problem with it. Could be caused by recent Windows updates.
Definitely not an Adobe Reader problem.

How to not append '.PART' to the file name of the currently downloading file, and just download the file with its normal filename

In Windows, when Firefox (I'm currently using 7.0) downloads a file, it appends ''.PART'' to the file name of the currently downloading file and just renames it to its original file name after it finishes downloading.
I sometimes like to watch a currently downloading video file, so it will be better if Firefox just downloads the file to its actual filename (like what Opera does), so I can easily double click the incompletely downloaded file and watch it with the video player assigned to that file extension, rather than the awkward ''Right click -> Open With -> Choose Default Program'' route with .part files.
Does anyone know how to set Firefox to do this?

It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox and prevents Firefox from renaming the .part file.
Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.
See "Disable virus scanning in Firefox preferences - Windows"

LSMW - Create Logical File Name so that the physical file name is automatic

Hello,
In LSMW, I do not want to create a logical file name for each project. I would like the logical file name to automatically assign the physical file to the *.lsmw.conv of the project being executed. Is there a way of doing that? If so, could someone share?
Regards, Dean.

not possible to create the logical file name to physical file name automatiically.
because the logical file name created like PROJECT name + SUB PROJECT name +OBJECT NAME .*.lsmw.conv
if you change the object name the file will be change....

No luck trying to extract .inf files from drivers downloaded as zip files

I am trying to deploy images using WDS on server 2008 and need the inf files for this to succeed, does anyone have the answer to this problem.
thanks in advance.

Hi
I found this tip:
Someone wrote this:
+You have to run the installer, wait for it to get to the first point where you click Next to continue, and then leave it sitting there. Go into your system's Temp and find the particular one with the installation files inside it that were extracted, then copy it someplace, go back to the installer and cancel it.+

Indesign CS4 "forgets" file name when saving as Postcript file.

Like the title says Indesign CS4 "forgets" file name when saving as Postcript file.
Example:
I open up indesign CS4 and open up a file called "test5". Then I go to the print menu and save it as a postscript file. Once the save as dialog box comes up it wont say "test5" but it uses whatever file name I used last time I created a PDF.
I want indesign to recognize that when I create a postscript file that I want it to be named the same way as my file that is open at that moment. Changing the file name every time is not bad when they are called "test5" etc but here at this company we use super long file names and it's a pain to change it every time.
Funny thing: Some machines here do it the way in the example but other machines will do it the correct way by using the same name in the save as box.
Any suggestions on how to fix this? If something is not clear just ask!

How about this - it's a workaround, I can't change ID or your system.
I'm big on EXACT filenames also, case and space sensative. Do a "Save As" before printing - the file name should be correct and highlighted, ctrl+c copy, escape/cancel the Save As. Paste in the filename during the Save as Postscript File.

*"MyDirectory\MyFile.txt" instead of MyFile.txt being placed under folder MyDirectory.*
I try to solve the problem by changing the zip file creation code to
+String[] filenames = new String[]{"MyDirectory" + "/" + "MyFile.txt"};+
But, is this an eligible solution, by hard-coded the seperator? Will it work under Mac OS? (I do not have a Mac to try out)
p/s To be honest, I do a cross post at [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2549766/create-zip-file-in-windows-and-extract-zip-file-in-linux|http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2549766/create-zip-file-in-windows-and-extract-zip-file-in-linux] Just want to get more opinion on this.
Edited by: yccheok on Apr 26, 2010 11:41 AM

Your solution lies in the File.separator constant; this constant will contain the path separator that is used by the operating system. No need to hardcode one, Java already has it.
edit: when it comes to paths by the way, I have the bad habit of always using the front slash ( / ). This will also work under Windows and has the added benefit of not needing to be escaped.

File Name Character Limited to 31 - New or something I've done?

I have been using my MacBook Air with Mavericks for ~6 months and just started getting file name size limit of 31 character warnings a few days ago. I have many files saved with much longer file names but now cannot go over the 31 character limit. Have I inadvertantly changed a setting or is this something new in a recent update?
Bottom line - how do I get back to using longer fle names?
