FrameMaker 8 Special characters in MIF file using hexcodes

Hey,
I'm creating a MIF-file from another system, and using hexcodes to create my special characters (\x8c for example).
When importing it to FrameMaker 8 I'm only ending up with a space where this character is supposed to be.
Using the same MIF-file in FrameMaker 7, it comes up with the character å(aring) as I'm expecting it to do.
What do I do to make FrameMaker 8 read the hexcodes correctly?
Regards,
Monica Svanlind

Monica,
FM8 is now unicode aware and you should be using the unicode values
instead of hex. If you use a codepage specific font, then using hex
values may still display the correct character. FM8 will no longer
display characters from Registry mapped codepages (e.g. Arial CE) for
WGL TT and OTF Pro fonts properly - you need to use the unicode value.

Special Characters in the file name in Data Driven Subscription via File Share

Hi,
I am trying to create a Data Driven Subscription with option to delivery as windows file share in SQL server 2005. I need to save the report as a pdf with the following file name '[City] City_Name', but it errors out and it is because of the
Square Brackets. Is there any way i can save the file using the Square brackets as i mentioned above.
I am using a query to get the filename and filepath. It works fine as long as i do not have [], but i need to save the file as i mentioned along with the Square Brackets.
Please help.

Hello,
I can reproduce the issue on my test environment: When I create a Data Driven Subscription and specify the report name by get from a subscription delivery table, and the value of the "report name" column contains square brackets. The subscription failed
with following error in the error log:
ERROR: Error occurred processing subscription ab9523a6-0256-4607-b818-a7666204d018:
The file name is not valid. Avoid using special characters such as /\?*:<>|+,[]"& in the file name.

file name., DeliveryExtension: Report Server FileShare, Report: Report6, Attempt 0
It seems that the behavior is by design. please avoid using square brackets as file name. Maybe you can try to use parentheses () instead.

Special characters in XML built using the DOM object

I am using the DOM object to build xml but I am having problems with special characters. I have a Element object that I create attributes in. Most special characters like the &, ", or ' are translated for me (amp; quot;, acute; put a & in front of those, if I do it here the browser will translate them into the logical character) but I am having a problem with the � character. The DOM object does not translate this. If I do it my self to(eacute; same here add a & in front) before adding the string to the attribute then the DOM object translates it to (amp;eacute; add a & in front of the amp; not in front of the eacute;). As you can see the DOM object translates the & instead of recognizing that it is a HTML character. Can anyone give me a hand?

I am building this XML in a servlet so ,right, DOM does process XML (even though a valid HTML file can be loaded into a DOM object) but if you build XML using DOM then write the XML out using PrintWriter and Transformer objects this will cause the XML to print out in your browser. If you view source on this XML you will see that the DOM object has translated all special characters to there &xxxx; equivalent. For a example: when the string (I know "cool" java) gets loaded into a attribute using the DOM object then wrote back out it looks like (I know &xxx;cool&xxx; java) if you view the source in your browser. This is what it should do, but the DOM object is not change the � to the "&xxxxx;". This servlet is acting as a gateway between a Java API and a windows asp. The asp will call the servlet expecting to get XML back and load it directly into a DOM object. When the windows DOM object gets the xml that I am returning in this servlet is throws a exception "invalid character" because the � was not translated to &xxxx; like the other characters were. According to the book HTML 4 in 24 hours (and other references) the eacute; or #233; are how you say "�" in HTML or XML. How do you say it?

Javamail API doesn't support special characters in attachment file name

Hi,
We are using Java Mail API to retrieve the attachment's file name, but it sometimes returns the file name as junk character (if the attachment contains special characters) and it is not able to return original file name for some attachments:
Our code sample :
void getFileName(Part part) {
String fname=null;
fname = part.getFileName();
Actually the problem is with the attachment file name which contains special character. For example below is the attachment file name (please find the sample attached file which is causing this issue):
Sample – 1234abc.doc
From above you could see the file name contains a special character (Sample – 1234abc.doc), i.e. The character ‘–’ is not a regular hyphen character, it’s a special character. Hence the Java mail API returns the name as below:
Sample ? 1234abc.doc
So the special character is being replaced with ‘?’ symbol. But if I store this file in local folder and try reading the file name using Java IO packages, it returns the file name without adding ‘?’ symbol.
Is there any way to handle such kind of special characters in Mail API?
Regards,
Vinodh

We dealt with this issue in a private email conversation.
JavaMail is returning the correct data for the filename. The problem is in the way the filename is being displayed.

Special Characters in include file

When I use special characters �� in jsp it works fine.
However, when I've these characters in a different file an d use include directive to include that file it doesn't show up(shows garbage). Any idea ?
Case 1:
jsp1:
contains ��
works fine
Case 2:
jsp1:contains
<%@ include file="textfile.txt" %>
textfile.txt contains: ��
Not working
Any idea ?

Sounds odd,
Please provide more information. But before you do try the following:
<jsp:include page="blah"/>
This works differently vis <%@ include ...%>
I hope this helps

How to reve Extra special characters from source file

Hi all
I am doing an file to idoc scenario in which i am using SEEBURGER BIC adapter for converting flat file to xml.My input file contain HEADER ,ITEMHEAD AND FOOTER.When i am processing an error is coming extra charcterYP persent before header.While in input file its not visible,it might be some special controll character
my file is with utf-16 format( little endian) encoding.
Plz share if u have any idea about the sudden occurence of special character and how to overcome it.
Regards
Saurabh Sharma

sorry, i meant the code for removing the special character.
Just a quick clarification about what i read in your previous post: that you are using a SEEBURGER adapter and in this adapter there is a module deployed called BIC which does the file to xml conversion.
So the plan is to insert the custom adapter which will remove the extra space before the BIC adapter in Seeburger adapter right. my only assumption here is that we can add this custom adapter before bic module in Seeburger adapter module tab.
Basically i dont no whether you have the option of adding a new adapter module in SEEBURGER ADPTER BIC MAPPING DESIGNER just like there is one in File adapter.
Please confirm

if i try to download a file with any special characters in file name (e.g. File_Name.pdf), it doesn't reconvert them from the "sanitize url" process and download the file an incorrect name (e.g. File%5FName.pdf).
This is really annoying.

Finding special characters in a columns using SQL

Hi,
I have a column (Object_Name) which accepts character values. I want to find out such kind of records which has special charaters in my columns Object_Name. Please let me know, how do I write SQL statement for the same.
Thanks for your time in advance.

To find, for example, a comma in the OBJECT_NAME column try:
SELECT OBJECT_NAME
FROM MYTABLE
WHERE INSTR(OBJECT_NAME,',')>0;To find multiple special characters, for example @ # + - _ , . : ; at same time try:
SELECT OBJECT_NAME
FROM MYTABLE
WHERE INSTR(TRANSLATE(OBJECT_NAME,'@#+-_,.:;','@@@@@@@@@'),'@')>0;add a @ to the string '@@@@@@@@@' each time you add a character to the string '@#+-_,.:;'

Importing special characters from text file

My project requires me to import a text file into a dynamic
text field by using the loadVariables() function. My problem is
that the text file contains a ampersign "&" . It seems that the
ampersign stops the rest of the text from being imported into my
flash movie. Is there a special character or escape character that
I can use to allow me to import the ampersign?
I've tried using the & and setting my dynamic text
field to HTML. No luck. Oh.. I'm using flash MX :(
Any ideas?

Hey I've run into this problem and found the solution lies
with JavaScript which can read the text just fine and then parse it
back to Flash as escape characters:
//JavaScript code:
var origText = 'blah blah & then i did this & then
blah blah";
var newText = String(escape(origText).replace(new
RegExp('\\+', 'g'), '%2b'));
FlashWin.sendText(newText); // << this is a reference
to a flash window with ExternalInterface enabled
// end
However, I was using HttpRequest in JS to get my original
data. So this method is dependent on something other than Flash to
retrieve the original text (with ampersands).
I really hope they fix this bug in the future, it can drive
you nuts....

Unwanted / Special Characters in XML File Output

Hello Seniors,
I am downloading an XML File which has some code from include's. The XML file is well formatted and the output is fine when I downloaded programs. But this include is from user exits and the code has some commented lines in it also with a blank line in between. Now the problem is that I am getting a "VT" in the XML file which is an unwanted character where there is a blank line in the include "ZXRSAU01". Other than this include, all other includes are downloaded fine.
Here is the code from the include "ZXRSAU01":
     select single * from knvv where kunnr = l_s_icctrcst-kunnr
                                and vkorg = l_s_icctrcst-vkorg
                                and vtweg = l_s_icctrcst-vtweg
                                and spart = l_s_icctrcst-spart.
Here is the output in the XML File:
     select single * from knvv where kunnr = l_s_icctrcst-kunnr
                                and vkorg = l_s_icctrcst-vkorg VT
                                and vtweg = l_s_icctrcst-vtweg
                                and spart = l_s_icctrcst-spart.
Please give me a solutions for this. Each of your answers are very important and will addressed with the best deserved.
Thanks and regards,
Chaitanya.

Hello Madhan,
Firstly, Thank You for the reply. We cannot remove the space in that include because the system is not the original system. Please let me inform you that this is a 4.6C system. We have used CDATA to get the code as it is onto the XML file. I observed that, firstly, the character "#" has come into the internal table with the read report itself. In the debug I saw it to be "0B" in the binary format, but in the downloaded XML file output, it is displayed as "VT". Please let me know how to get rid of this special/unwanted character.
Thanks and regards,
Chaitanya.
