Garbage characters when retrieving HTML via Java
I wanted to use Java to extract my characters profile from http://www.magelo.com. The results returned from the URL are basically garbled characters; however retrieving cnn.com or yahoo.com the results are fine. So, the only thing I can think of is that the magelo webserver detects that its Java and, since it may not want people to not use this approach for mining concerns, changes the output to garbage. I tried setting the connections property "User-Agent" and others to mimic a browser, but nothing worked...the only way I can view non-garbaled HTML is by using a webbrowser. Not exactly sure that this is what is going on -- but I can't come up with another explaination.
code & garbage.

WebLgic12c(12.1.2.0)のファイルアップロード機能（Servlet3仕様の機能）にて、アップロードファイル以外の項目の値が文字化けしました。
これは、何か設定が必要なのでしょうか？

Leading garbage characters when using CipherInputStream
So, after receiving an encrypted message, I can decrypt it perfectly except that I get a random amount of leading garbabe characters. Using the same plaintext, here are examples of the beginning of the output file for two runs (using od -c to look at the files):
0000000 315 7 004 371 242 \0 w ` t h e L L S E
and
0000000 1 " 246 317 0 j 321 V t h e L L S E
The part beginning with "The LLSE..." is correct.
The fact that the leading garbage appears to be random leads me to believe that there is something wrong with the crypto rather with the file I/O.
Here's the relevant code chunk:
Cipher sharedCypher = Cipher.getInstance("DES/CFB8/PKCS5Padding");
SecretKeySpec DESKeySpec = new SecretKeySpec(clientDESKey.getEncoded(), "DES");
IvParameterSpec iv = new IvParameterSpec(clientDESKey.getEncoded());
sharedCypher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, DESKeySpec, iv);
CipherInputStream cis = new CipherInputStream(new FileInputStream(WD), sharedCypher);
String time = ""+System.currentTimeMillis();
File outputFileW = new File("/tmp/new_wireless_data."+time);
System.out.println(System.currentTimeMillis()+": Output file is" + outputFileW.getAbsolutePath());
outputFileW.createNewFile();
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(outputFileW);
byte[] putCypherBytes = new byte[8];
int i=0;
while((i=cis.read(putCypherBytes)) != -1) {
fos.write(putCypherBytes, 0, i);
}Any thoughts on cleaning this up would be greatly appreciated.
Best,
GlennWell, I seriously doubt its the JDK or JCE. I dont have time right now to
download that exact version and test it, but instead I'll give you the code
I pieced together from your posts. Put your text to be encrypted in a file
called plaintext.txt in the directory you run the class in. The decrypted
text should be appear in new_wireless_data...
If you can run this without error, then your problem most likely lies
on your server-side.

Garbage characters when using CR XI R1 with Sharp M350 printer PCL5e driver
My application uses CR XI R1. We have a customer who has a Sharp M350 printer. When printing or previewing a report from my application with this printer set as the default, the text is garbled - the characters look like gibberish.
If they change the default printer to another printer, it works fine. but they need to be able to print to the Sharp printer so I need to find a solution to the problem.
Changing the printer driver to a PCL6 has no effect. Does anyone have any suggestions for fixing this?A few questions:
1) What development language are you using?
2) Have you ever applied any CR Service Packs?
3) Have you checked for any updated for the Sharp M350 printer driver?
4) Can you duplicate the issue on your development system?
5) Are you able to print correctly to that printer using the CR designer? (even if you have to as a test, install it on one of the client machines?)
6) What Crystal Reports SDK are you using? RDC? If so, what is the CR dlls referenced in your app?

I want to know the following.
1. what could be the reason to get such type of garbage characters there ?
2. How to eliminate them ?
3.Are we missing any required data while integrating BO with our product due to which this problem comes ?

Garbage characters in iTunes when copying songs in chinese language

Tried to convert ID3 tag(all ID3 versions and reverse unicode) but still doesn't work.
They may need to be converted to Unicode from a legacy chinese encoding. Try ConvertZ

Garbage Characters in Netscape
Hi,
I open a 'jsp' in a new popup (window.open). Netscape shows some garbage characters at the top of the page. (Works fine with IE). I tried deleting ALL the code from the popup jsp to trace out the problem (even removed the HTML tags). But Netscape still shows the garbage characters. Where are they coming from??? Any help is appreciated!
Ashish BhaveHi,
That is very strange, I've seen this only once before when reporting an error into an error cluster indicator over a real time target but this was a one time event. Does the PC you're on have any issues other than this, i.e. occasional Blue Screens or crashes? The only thing I can think of is a memory location on your PC that's having issues and occasionally LabVIEW is using this space.
It may be worth calling into your local branch or e-mailing direct via www.ni.com/support they may recommend a re-installation of the NI software and provide you with a tool to ease this process. But this is certinaly the first time I've heard of this on the LabVIEW dialog boxes! Have any changes been made to the machine itself in terms of language additions or software addition/removal?

Removing numerals/garbage characters from search in Section 508 build WebHelp
I need to remove (prevent inclusion of) numerals and garbage characters from search results in WebHelp when compiled with Section 508 Output enabled. I need to have Section 508 enabled. Can that be done?
Thanks for your time!Thanks, Jeff. I tried including the characteres in the Stop list and recompiling. (I even closed the project and reopened.) The characters still appear. The characters I'm trying to remove are: !, #, ', (, ), -, /, :, ;, and ,. I am also trying to exclude some numbers (100.00usd, 1999.99, 2999.99, 3999.99, 4999.99, and 6pm).
The Stop list consists of those characters and the default text. Forgot to mention is the first post ... I'm using RH9.
The Section 508 flag does create 508-compliant HTML output and that is one of the requirements for this help system. This is the first time I am enabling this flag. -

Garbage Characters in CDE Window Title Bar
I recently patched our Solaris 8 Sun workstations (a mixture of Blade 150, Ultra10, Blade 1500, and Blade 2000) with the recommended patch cluster from December 19th, 2005. At the same time, I updated the systems' Java to 1.4.2_10, and installed Update 5 to StarOffice7, which is still on the systems along with the newer StarOffice8.
When initially installed before these recent patches, StarOffice8 behaved correctly. After updating the systems, when I open StarOffice8 in a CDE session, I get garbage characters in the title bar of the window. The letters and fonts in the application menus are normal. StarOffice8 windows under Gnome sessions are titled correctly.
I've read some emails about issues with LC_CTYPE and setting it to en_US.ISO8859-15, using a wrapper script to start soffice. The current setting on my machines is en_US.ISO8859-1. That solution doesn't work consistently on different machines (or even on the same machine).
In fact, even without attempting to solve the problem, there is inconsistent behavior. On one Ultra10 which I have as a testbed machine, StarOffice8 behaves correctly, whether I'm logged in as a normal user, or as root. On a Blade 1500, it behaves correctly when logged in as root, but not as a normal user. I've also patched StarOffice8 with Update1 which was released today, but it doesn't fix the problem.
Anybody else having similar problems after recent patching? Or have any suggestions for a solution?
Jeff BaileyMore Info on Unsolved Problem:
If I use Mozilla to open a document file, with soffice set as the helper application, the CDE window title displays properly. If I leave that instance of StarOffice open, and open new documents using the menus within StarOffice, subsequent CDE titles also display normally. Also with that original Mozilla-driven StarOffice application still open, if I use "soffice whatever.doc" on a command line, those CDE windows appear normal.
Mozilla is set to use "en_US" as the language for webpages, with Western ISO-8859-1 as the default character coding. The Solaris 8 workstation's /etc/default/init file is configured as:
TZ=US/Eastern
CMASK=022
LC_COLLATE=en_US.ISO8859-1
LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO8859-1
LC_MESSAGES=C
LC_MONETARY=en_US.ISO8859-1
LC_NUMERIC=en_US.ISO8859-1
LC_TIME=en_US.ISO8859-1
While the Mozilla "wrapper" is a workaround for now, I don't see it as a final solution.

Download the Open G Toolkit from www.openg.org. There is a VI called Quit Application.vi that works great. I have used it with the very stupid Brooks 0154 SmartDDE Controller program to reset the application.
Be sure to save the document and close the DDE communication first.

I uploaded my first podcast test <http://www.sooline.org/podcasts> and the iWeb pages display garbage characters from my ISP's Unix Web server. It looks fine when viewed from the folder on my hard drive. Is there anything I can do short of manually editing the HTML of every file every time I update the site?

Garbage characters in web pages
Produced a page in iWeb then uploaded it to my webspace using Secure FTP. Now I have garbage characters in it with  wherever there's a return and a bunch of garbage for every apostrophe.
Obviously I have some sort of problem with the character set but how to get rid of it?
I've tried copying text over from a TXT file without the returns, adding them later in iWeb, but it made no difference.When I open iWeb
and open this project, I have no idea which set iWeb
will end up using. I have to check the file
attributes afterward to figure out which one was the
set "du jour".
You are aware that iWeb does not open published files, right? It only opens the Domain.sites file where its data is kept:
http://homepage.mac.com/thgewecke/iwebdata.html
Also iWeb cannot register any changes you make in a published site with an editor, so that needs to be redone every time the site is republished.
Normally if you have multiple projects it would be a good idea to keep their data in separate Domain files.
PageSpinner file open function cannot see any folder
or file created by iWeb except the one called "Sites"
and that one is empty.
I have no problem using PageSpinner to open the files created by iWeb. Since iWeb does not create anything called "Sites," I'm wondering if the Open function was going instead to Home/Sites or some other location rather than Home/Documents/HTML or wherever you published your pages.
As far as my ISP goes, I'll take your word for it,
but I can't imagine an ISP of this size getting this
wrong and not receiving/responding to complaints.
None of the major companies devoted to hosting web pages which most people use have this problem as far as I know. ISP's for whom hosting is a sideline sometimes do not pay attention to the issue and leave their server set to force all browsers to use ISO-8859-1 encoding. They will not likely get any complaints if their clients are all using Roman script and traditional web editors which default to that setting as well. -
Something strange started happening this morning...
I am getting garbage characters in some, but not all of the dialog windows.
The screenshot attached occured when reloading a VI after changing its location. It's repeatable and happens again after a reboot.
Anyone seen this kind of behavior? Any solutions?
Something which may or may not be related - Some weeks ago when building a VI into an executable, the resulting front panel had similar characters in the menu bar. The only way i found to solve that one, was to select "support all languages" in the build specifications - run-time languages (from only English ticked before).
