Filename: Replace spaces with underscores

Greetings,
I have searched the forum and online and have not found an
answer.
So posting here for assistance.
What is the proper syntax for replacing spaces in file names
with under
scores prior to cffile upload? -or- what is the best method
to accomplish
this process?
Example:
document name.doc >> document_name.doc
Thanks
Leonard

you can't change the filename before the file has been
uploaded to your
server.
upload a file using cffile.
#cffile.serverfile# variable will contain the name with which
the file
has been saved on your server.
check if the name contains any spaces using find() cf
function.
if it does, use cffile action="copy" to copy the file as a
file with no
spaces in the name (use replace() cf function to replace
spaces with
whatever you want).
[you may want to make sure prior to copying the file that
there is not
already a file with same name (with no spaces) in that
folder, otherwise
the copy action will overwrite existing file]
delete original file.
details of all the functions are in the CFML Reference. if
you do not
have one - download free from adobe.com

Layers to files: replace spaces with underscores

How can I update the script to replace spaces with underscores on export? I assume I need to add a line somehwere between 183-195 but I don't know what it needs to be. Thanks in advance.

Where did you get the Layers to files script. Photoshop versions ship with a "Export Layers To Files.jsx" CS6 lines 183-195 look like this I see nothing about filename
var layerSetsCount = app.documents[docName].layerSets.length;
 if ((layerCount <= 1)&&(layerSetsCount <= 0)) {
 if ( DialogModes.NO != app.playbackDisplayDialogs ) {
 alert( strAlertNeedMultipleLayers );
 return 'cancel'; // quit, returning 'cancel' (dont localize) makes the actions palette not record our script
 } else {
 var rememberMaximize;
 var needMaximize = exportInfo.psdMaxComp ? QueryStateType.ALWAYS : QueryStateType.NEVER;
 if ( exportInfo.fileType == psdIndex && app.preferences.maximizeCompatibility != needMaximize ) {
 rememberMaximize = app.preferences.maximizeCompatibility;

When generating layers it replaces spaces with underscores

Hi All,
I am working now with RH8, and when I am saving projects and give the name, let's say "my file.chm" it replaces the space with an underscore and the name becomes "my_file.chm". Is it possible to do anything about that?
Thank you

I think that what I said means you cannot generate with spaces.
Bug? It has done it that way for several versions and I believe it is important if you are creating merged CHM help.

Replacing space with special char in reporting

I have created a calculatd Keyfigure where if the consition given in the calculated KF satisfies then it displays 1 otherwise space ,now mu user wants space to be replaced by some special charcter
Example
My ckf is like this overallscore >= 90 & Iam applying count on this
Vendor   CKF
X              1
Y
Z                1
As vendor y is not satsifying the condition its showing with space now I want to replace space with some special char how is this possible

Hi Priya,
You can try this: Instead of space, fill this with a 0. Then in the query properties, set the Show Zero As and give your special char, like may be *. But this will be okay if you do not have other zeros in the report...else you may need to do some VB coding.
Hope this helps...

Replace spaces with a + sign

Hi,
In on of my columns I have a text... I want to replace spaces with a plus (+) sign... something linke this
select
text_field,
Function_replace(text_field, " ", "+") new_field
from
table_A

It's almost that:
SQL> with table_a as (
2 select 'abc dd   efg ' text_field from dual)
3 -- end of sample data
4 select text_field, replace(text_field, ' ', '+') new_field
5    from table_a;
TEXT_FIELD    NEW_FIELD
abc dd   efg abc+dd+++efg+
SQL> edit:
If you want to replace any number of consecutive spaces for a single + sign, then:
SQL> with table_a as (
2 select 'abc dd   efg    h' text_field from dual)
3 -- end of sample data
4 select text_field,
5         regexp_replace(text_field, ' +', '+') new_field
6    from table_a;
TEXT_FIELD        NEW_FIELD
abc dd   efg    h abc+dd+efg+h

Replacing spaces with dashes

[SOLVED] Find and replace quotes with underscores in file names

I was looking to replace all of the quotes in file names in a directory with underscores. I seem to be having a problem doing so, though. Running the find command:
find . -name '*[\`\'\"]*' -exec sh -c "mv -i '$0' '${0//[\`\'\"]/_}'" {} \;
I get a > inviting me to continue the command. What am I doing wrong?

@lolilolicon: yeah the -exec part does give another level of quotes, so you can run into trouble with scripts inside -exec.
I didn't know you could give {} as an argument after sh -c and $0, that solves the problem of not knowing which quotes to use around it in the -exec part.
$ find -mindepth 1 -exec sh -c 'mv -v --backup=t "$0" "$(echo "$0" | sed s/[\\x27\"\`]/___/g)"' {} \;
mv: `./a b' and `./a b' are the same file
`./\'' -> `./___'
`./\'"\'' -> `./_________'
mv: `./$0' and `./$0' are the same file
mv: `./a' and `./a' are the same file
mv: `./$(echo crash)' and `./$(echo crash)' are the same file
`./"' -> `./___' (backup: `./___.~1~')
`./\'\'\'' -> `./_________' (backup: `./_________.~1~')
Or with the other substitution method, it doesn't interpret \x27 (you could use $(echo -e \\x27) or you have to use ...'\\\''...
$ find -mindepth 1 -exec sh -c 'echo mv -v --backup=t "$0" "${0//['\\\''\"\`]/___}"' {} \;
$ find -mindepth 1 -exec sh -c 'echo mv -v --backup=t "$0" "${0//[$(echo -e \\x27)\"\`]/___}"' {} \;
mv -v --backup=t ./a b ./a b
mv -v --backup=t ./' ./___
mv -v --backup=t ./___ ./___
mv -v --backup=t ./'"' ./_________
mv -v --backup=t ./$0 ./$0
mv -v --backup=t ./___.~1~ ./___.~1~
mv -v --backup=t ./a ./a
mv -v --backup=t ./$(echo crash) ./$(echo crash)
mv -v --backup=t ./_________ ./_________
mv -v --backup=t ./" ./___
mv -v --backup=t ./''' ./_________
mv -v --backup=t ./_________.~1~ ./_________.~1~

CLOB to BLOB replacing spaces with Â

I have a CLOB that we are converting to a BLOB using DBMS_LOB.CONVERTTOBLOB and then serving it up as a file using WPG_DOCLOAD.DOWNLOAD_FILE. When you open the file, it is replacing the spaces with a Â.
Any thoughts?

Most likely, the spaces in the original CLOB were not regular spaces (0x20) but rather non-breaking spaces (0xA0).
What's the target encoding used to convert to BLOB? I suppose UTF-8?
UTF-8 encodes non-breaking spaces as 0xC2A0, where 0xC2 is specifically the codepoint for "Â". So I think the tool you're using doesn't support UTF-8, or doesn't recognize the file as being properly encoded.

Thanks for your help.

Help Needed - replacing space with non-breaking space on the fly

Hi,
I have a text field I'm trying to fiddle the input on. Basically I want to replace all spaces (ascii code 32) with non-breaking spaces (ascii code 160) as they are typed.
It seemed as though a KeyListener was the way to go, and I've successfully detected whenever a space is sent. I can consume() that KeyEvent, or setKeyChar to change it to another key. But I cannot see how to change it to a non-keyboard character.
Any suggestions?

i think you can do smt likeDocument doc = mySwingTextComponent.getDocument();
doc.setDocumentFilter(new MyDocumentFilter());
class MyDocumentFilter extends DocumentFilter {
   public void remove(DocumentFilter.FilterBypass fb, int offset, int length) throws BadLocationException {
      fb.remove(offset,length);
   public void insertString(DocumentFilter.FilterBypass fb, int offset, String string, AttributeSet attr) throws BadLocationException {
      replace(fb,offset,0,string,attr);
   public void replace(DocumentFilter.FilterBypass fb, int offset, int length, String text, AttributeSet attrs) throws BadLocationException {
      text.replaceAll("SPACE","NB WHITE SPACE");
}asjf

Replacing space with wildcard

I have a table with names as following -
WITH T AS(
SELECT 'JOHN M SMITH' NAME FROM DUAL
UNION
SELECT 'ANDREW SMITH' FROM DUAL
UNION
SELECT 'A CARREY AND MIKE M N SMITH' FROM DUAL)
SELECT * FROM T
My Requirement is that if name is a single character, then attach a wildcard with it, if it is more than a single character followed by space,then attach single space followed by a wildcard, so the final result should be like this :-
JOHN % M% SMITH
ANDREW % SMITH
A% CARREY % AND % MIKE % M% N% SMITH
probably it will be done with regular expression, but not sure how.
Thanks in advance

Anther slightly weird way:
SQL> WITH T as (
2 SELECT 'JOHN M SMITH' NAME FROM DUAL UNION
3 SELECT 'ANDREW SMITH' FROM DUAL UNION
4 SELECT 'A CARREY AND MIKE M N SMITH' FROM DUAL
5 )
6 --
7 --
8 --
9 select rtrim(listagg( case
10 when length(word)=1 then word||'% '
11 when length(word)>1 then word||' % '
12 end
13 , ''
14 ) within group (order by aid, lvl)
15 , ' %'
16 ) newname
17 from ( select aid
18 , lvl
19 , name
20 , regexp_substr(name, '[^ ]+', 1, lvl) word
21 from ( select rownum aid
22 , name
23 from t
24 )
25 cross join ( select level lvl
26 from ( select max(length(regexp_replace(name, '[^ ]+')))+1 mx
27 from t
28 )
29 connect by level <= mx
30 )
31 where regexp_substr(name, '[^ ]+', 1, lvl) is not null
32 order by aid
33 , lvl
34 )
35 group by name;
NEWNAME
A% CARREY % AND % MIKE % M% N% SMITH
ANDREW % SMITH
JOHN % M% SMITH
3 rows selected.

Why is Firefox replacing 'space' with '%20' when I try to save a file?

Alright so when I try to save a file from at least two websites, Firefox is converting the spaces in the file name to '%20'. So for example, instead of 'Firefox rules.doc' it's 'Firefox%20rules.doc'.
This is NOT a html error, Internet Explorer doesn't have these problems on the exact same websites, and it's only a recent occurance for Firefox.
EDIT: Have tried re-installing Firefox; diabling add-ons; diabling plugins; updating plug-ins; creating a new profile.

Are you left-clicking the link when that happens or do you use "Save Link as" the right-click context menu?
Does it also happen if you hold down the Alt key and left-click?
