Ftp/xml: @ character at the end

I receive a file from an AS/400 machine. The process is as follows: AS/400 generates an xml file. It ftps the file to a folder location. Biztalk uses the file adapter to pick this up.
The weird thing that's happening is that the AS/400 generates a proper xml file. But when the AS/400 ftps this file to a Windows, it appends a bunch of @ characters at the end. Does somebody have an explanation? Additionally, can I workaround with this in
Biztalk?

Never seen a case when files from AS/400 had ‘@’ in it. Even you have secured ftp (FTP-S), the chances for some character to be appended at the
end is less. I have seen BOM (Byter Order Marks) which appear at the beginning of the file content as opposed to end of the file content. Just to remove the probability of this problem due
to “secured” part of ftp, drop (or ask the hosting team) the file manually at the ftp folder and see what comes to BizTalk. Just remove AS/400 from the picture and drop the file manually to see whether is it due to the end
system (AS/400) to due to any process in the transportation (network infrastructure) add this extra character at the end of the file.
If it’s the problem due to the source system (AS/400) or infrastructure, try to resolve the problem at their end, if not only solution is to use the custom receive pipeline component to remove the any additional characters from
the file.

Is it possible to export to PDF without a Return character at the end of every line?

I am the author of a book whose first edition has been typeset and extensively amended in InDesign. I now need to rewrite the first edition to produce a second edition.
When I copy-and-paste from the PDF with which the publisher has supplied me into MS Word, I get a Return character at the end of every line, which means that text doesn’t automatically wrap and sentences are fragmented so that I get spurious grammar errors.
I know that not all PDF files have a Return at the end of every line. Is it possible to restrict Returns to the end of paragraphs when exporting from InDesign to PDF? If so, what should the publisher be asking the typesetter to do?

Thanks for your lightning-swift and helpful replies, Mike & Ellis.
I don't have InDesign myself, so I know hardly anything about how it's used. I'm just trying to research what an internationally-known publisher should already know how to do, but apparently doesn't!
Following your suggestion, Mike, I have downloaded the trial version of Acrobat and exported the PDF to a Word file. This has been moderately successful as there are far fewer spurious Return characters, just a few that I suspect may be hangovers from the typesetter having introduced soft returns in ID.
As you've suggested Peter and Ellis, I'll suggest that the publisher asks the typesettter to export from ID to RTF and Text to see if that's even better.

How to add exactly 2 NON XML caracters at the end of a SOAP body

Hello all I am trying to add two (and only two) extra non xml caracters "AA" at the END of a SOAP body using the JAXWS handlers as so:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: text/xml;charset=UTF-8
Content-Length: 131
Content-Length: 131
Server: Jetty(7.x.y-SNAPSHOT)
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"><SOAP-ENV:Body></SOAP-ENV:Body></SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
AA
The problem is that if you try to add them to the SOAP body (see code below) you get a XML Unmarshalling exception. If I add "AA" as a soap attachment I get MORE than 2 caracters after the SOAP body (which I don't want)
Here is the my SOAPHandler code :
@Override
public boolean handleMessage(SOAPMessageContext mc) {
if (Boolean.TRUE.equals(mc.get(MessageContext.MESSAGE_OUTBOUND_PROPERTY))) {
try {
SOAPMessage message = context.getMessage()
String stringSoapMessage= getMsgAsString(message);
stringSoapMessage += "ss";
message.getSOAPPart().setContent((Source) new StreamSource(new ByteArrayInputStream(msg.getBytes())));
message.saveChanges();
context.setMessage(message);
} catch (Exception e1) {
return true;
public String getMsgAsString(SOAPMessage message) throws SOAPException {
String msg = null;
try {
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
message.writeTo(baos);
msg = baos.toString();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return msg;
so my question is this: is there any way to add exactly 2 non xml caracters at the end of the soap body using jaxws handlers ? I have spent several weeks on this so it is not an easy question...
Thanks,
Fred.

Yes I have done it using CFX interceptors. But the runtime dependencies needed were too big for this particular use. I mean having to use these:
apache/cxf/cxf-bundle/2.6.0/cxf-bundle-2.6.0.jar

org/eclipse/jetty/jetty-continuation/7.5.4.v20111024/jetty-continuation-7.5.4.v20111024.jar
to add two caracters at the end of a soap message seems like over kill. If this is the only way to do this then i'll do it this way but it just seems like the implementation of the JAXWS API in JDK 6 seems inches away from being able to do this no ?
Thanks for the replies,
Fred

Character # at the end of file in transaction AL11

Check the file on OS level (ask the admin to copy that file), it may be a display issue in the GUI.

Strange character at the end of some file/folder names

I'm getting a strange character at the end of some of my file and folder names. This is it:  When I enlarge it, it says "private use" on the top and bottom, "E000" on the left side, and "F8FF" on the right side. It acts like a character within the font, but I'm not sure why it's there.
In case that didn't work, I'm going to try to attach or embed a gif of the character. I'm not sure if it will work or not.
Also, some longer file names seem to be dleeting some of the letters and are inserting a pound sign and a few numbers (e.g. #34) in place of the letters.
What's going on?
As usual, thanks in advance,
Lloyd

I thought that might be it...at first. Then I found some file names that were nowhere near 32 characters long whose names were truncated.
It's not a huge problem, except in QuarkXPress when I collect the files for output and I have to reconnect to the ones whose names have been changed (to protect the innocent, I suppose).
Thanks for the input mark.

"\" Character at the end of alias source in databas

Recently our application developer team faces a problem with crystal report v.14.0 (2011). They require to place “\“character at the end of alias source in database and there are no other character to replace the backslash. All the clients that do the designing, operate on x64 bit operating system (windows 7_x64) and this version of crystal report replaces “ \” with “ _ “ character.
We recently found a patch file that in the following registry category fixes the mentioned issue only in 32bit operating systems but no solution can be found so far for 64bit OS.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SAP BusinessObjects\Suite XI 4.0\Crystal Reports\Database]
"InvalidAliasCharList"="!(){}"
As the demands in the market force us to move to 64bit OS versions, finding a solution for this issue is crucial and we require your assistant to solve this subject.

BOX character at the end of line when file transferred from SAP to WINDOWS

Hi,
We have a file interface program which creates a comma seperated '.txt' file in application server. Once it is created in application server in provided path an UNIX script runs which transfers this file from SAP application server to a network drive in WINDOWS platform. This file looks fine when opened through WINSCP from SAP application server but when checked the file in network drive opened with note pad, it found each line come at the end of another line seperated by 'BOX' character.
If we opened the file in word pad instead of note pad it looks fine.
If any one of you have any idea to resolve this issue it will be a great help.
Thanks,
Ranadev

Hi Ranadev,
This happens because when you transfer the file to the Windows platform using the UNIX script it removes uses only a newline character at the end of each line instead of the Windows platform standard which is carriage return/newline. The Notepad program displays this character alone as the box that you see. If you want to verify take the same program and convert to Windows format using Notepad++ and you'll see that the same file then displays properly in Notepad.

How to add a character at the end of an array element that meets certain criteria.

Hi. I am using CF 9.2.1. I started learning CF yesterday, and I am trying to figure out a way to add a special character (like "?", "!"," & ") to an array row if the first row element (say, element [1][1]) has a specific letter like " t" in the word it is holding. In this case the special character will be added at the end of the last row element (element [1][3]).
Example: The take columns are: "Firstname", "Lastname", "Age". If Firstname contains an "s" or "S" (in any order) then add "!" at the end of the row so that :
Sam, Rubins, 26 !
Nick, Palo, 32
Robert, Williams, 28
Oscar, Ramirez, 23 !
I tried using the ReReplace, Refind and the #findoneof functions. I could probably loop through the array and return a value and store, while storing the value in a separate variable and using an if/Boolean function to compare that value and so on.... But I am sure there's an easier and more efficient way. Thanks in advance.

Adding a pipe character '|' at the end of each line

How can I add a '|' at the end of each line in a text file?
Please provide an example.
TIA

Using Readers and Writers are often a better choice for text: they are designed for character-based I/O, handling different character set encodings and thus more easily localizable.
BufferedReader and PrintWriter are buffered which in many cases will increase performance.
These classes also provide line-oriented methods, readLine() and println(), which will handle end-of-line delimiters in a platform-independant way.
BufferedReader in = null ;
PrintWriter out = null ;
try {
    in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("infile.txt")) ;
    out = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter("outfile.txt")) ;
    String line ;
    while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) {
        out.print(line) ;
        out.println('|') ;
    out.flush() ;
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
    System.err.println("problem opening file for read: "+e) ;
} catch (IOException e) {
    System.err.println("problem reading file: "+e) ;

Could you do use the dump function to see if there are additional characters at the end of machine?
Here is an example.

Inserting a character at the end of a paragraph IF the next paragraph is a certain style

Hi,
I have found a section of a collegues script that will insert a bullet at the end of a paragraph if the PREVIOUS para is styled with a certain style, I have been trying to modify it to work if the FOLLOWING paragraph is a certain style instead but as I am not sure how the "insertionPoints[f[i].index-1].appliedParagraphStyle.name" part of it is working I have hit a brick wall. Can anyone shed any light on this?
thanks
myDoc = app.activeDocument
// This part checks if "News text para indent" is followed by "News title regular" and inserts a bullet
app.findGrepPreferences = null;
app.findGrepPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = "News text para indent";
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "^.+$";
f = myDoc.findGrep();
for (i = 0; i < f.length; i++)
var inser= f[i].insertionPoints.length
if (f[i].parentStory.insertionPoints[f[i].index-1].appliedParagraphStyle.name == "News title regular")
var bullet = f[i].parentStory.insertionPoints[f[i].index+inser-1].contents="\u25CF"

OK thanks much,
So to do that, do i begin by highlighting the last frame (the last frame of the movie itself - actual film image) on the timeline, and go to main menu and select Insert>Timeline>Keyframe? Then insert stop(); on the last frame via the actionscript panel?
Then highlight the first frame and insert the setTtimeout() and play() onto the first frame?
I inserted the stop() command on the last frame and the clip now stops...
I tried adding this script on the last frame and clip stops but does not repeat after 5 seconds...
stop()
setTimeout(5)
play();

Empty lines at the end of the payload generated in FTP server

Hi All,
I am facing an issue in one of the use cases that I am trying to implement.
I am getting a purchase order from one of the trading partners through Oracle B2B.
B2B forwards this B2BM (B2B message ) to AIAB2BInterface. From AIAB2BInterface my BPEL process gets invoked, which in turn invokes the AdapterComposite which has a FTP adapter that writes the purchase order to a FTP server. PFB the end to end flow.
PurchaseOrder from ABC trading pertner--> Oracle B2B --> AIAB2BInterface --> TestInputProvABCS --> TestInputAdapter -> Host trading partner picks up the file from FTP location
In the ProvABCS I retrieve the actual payload from the B2BM and convert it into a string using ora:getContentasString. I am then invoking the adapter composite and sending the string as the input to FTP adapter. At the adapter composite I use a simple native schema (for validation of the input string) which has only one element PO_Info of the type string. But when the file gets generated in the FTP server there are empty lines and junk characters at the end of the file.
Need some advice on this. Why are the empty lines coming in the end of the file? Please help!
Thanks

OK, I cannot figure out a way to modify the JTable (in an extended class) directly.
So, what I did was to add a wrapper around the TreeTableModel which shows an empty row at the end.
For those of you who are in a similar situation, the methods that I had to modify are
public boolean isCellEditable(Object node, int column);
public int getIndexOfChild(Object parent, Object child);
public int getChildCount(Object node);
public Object getChild(Object node, int i);
These other methods are required if you are using a TreeTable instead of just a table (see http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/tsc/articles/treetable2/index.html)
public Object getValueAt(Object node, int row, int column);
public Object getValueAt(Object node, int row, String columnName);
public void setValueAt(Object node, int row, int column, Object newValue);
public void setValueAt(Object node, int row, String columnName, Object newValue);
The signature of above methods is slightly different than the ones at: http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/tsc/articles/treetable2/src/TreeTableModel.java
This is due to the fact that, if you want to display the serial no. (as in row number), then getValue() can just return the row number. IndexedTreeTableModel is another wrapper around the TreeTableModel which can add an extra column to display the serial number.

Ftp/xml: @ character at the end
