Get rid of special characters "^@"

hi,
i used method tostring to convert a double into string and have written in a file,
while i try to open the file in shell(unix), it shows some special characters as follows,
^@0^@.^@0^@4^@3^@7^@4^@0^@7^@
^@0^@.^@0^@3^@1^@3^@1^@9^@2^@
^@0^@.^@0^@1^@6^@5^@0^@2^@9^@
^@0^@.^@0^@0^@3^@1^@8^@5^@5^@1^@
in between each numbers, when i open the same file in textedit it shows as follows,
0

Specify the character encoding used to write the file, and use an editor that can display the file in that same encoding.

How do I get rid of "SPECIAL SAVINGS"? I WANT IT GONE!!!

Your system installed an add-on called "SPECIAL SAVINGS" without my authorization or request. There is no DELETE or DISABLE button. I want this thing gone.
As I have been using Firefox for years, I hope that my only option to get rid of this ILLEGAL SALES TOOL is not the deletion of Firefox from all of the computers in our company. However, if that is the only method of removing this thing, I WILL!
While it is an annoyance to force all of our people to learn a new browser, PUSH SALES ADD-ON's which were NOT REQUESTED or AUTHORIZED are far worse.
Hopefully you will be able to tell me how to get rid of this thing.

Sorry, that thing didn't come with Firefox or from Mozilla.
Without more information about that "add0on" I can't even start to search for a possible fix, since "Special Savings" seems to be a very common term from a Google search of same.
Maybe it is some form of Malware that would be recognized by the most popular ant-malware tools?

How do I get rid of the characters dialog box?

Concise problem statement: Clicking "Special Characters..." in the Edit menu does nothing at the time of click, but now the "Characters" dialog, with nothing in it, will not go away!
Steps to reproduce problem:
1.Open Adobe Reader
2.Click "Edit"
3.Click "Special Characters..."
Results: Nothing at the time, but every time I click in any other application, and even in Reader, the "Characters" dialog pops up briefly, with no close button and nothing in it but a title, and disappears again. Then I have to wait a second for my cursor to appear in the application I was trying to access. If I click away from this text box, it will come up. If I click back in the text box, it will come up and I have to wait for the cursor before I can start typing. I have closed Adobe Reader, but the dialog still pops up. Shut down and restarted, but it still shows up. Uninstalled Reader and restarted, reinstalled Reader and restarted, opened and closed Reader and restarted, even tried to click to same menu item in the hopes that something I could DEAL with would open, and restarted AGAIN. Still the dialog pops up even when I have just restarted and haven't opened Reader. Reader is not in my "Start Up" apps.
I cannot use my computer with this dialog interrupting every action!

What is your operating system? Reader version?
I cannot see any "Special Characters..." option in my Reader version (11.0.6) on Windows:

Cyrllic characters getting converted to special characters.

I am facing a problem when cyrillic character is being sent from JSP to servlet ,its getting converted into some other special character.I am using request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8") on servlet.And on jsp I am using <%@page pageEncoding="UTF-8" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8"%>.I am facing this problem both in JBoss and Websphere application server.
Please help me in solving this problem.

How do you send the characters - using POST?
I have tried both ie get and post.....
Can you post the code in your servlet that you use to retrieve and display the Cyrillic characters in question?
Just using request.getParameter() to get the value...It is showing question marks ie ??????
And finally, can you post an example of a Cyrillic string and the corresponding incorrect string you see in the servlet?
Can post cyrllic characters here...:-) But I am giving normal characters only...
It started working in websphere when I changed the jvm settiings ie I gave encoding scheme to jvm also.But still it is not working for JBoss4.0.2.
Any help will be highly appreciated.

Oracle SQL query for getting specific special characters from a table

Hi all,
This is my table
Table Name- Table1
S.no Name
1 aaaaaaaa
2 a1234sgjghb
3 a@3$%jkhkjn
4 abcd-dfghjik
5 bbvxzckvbzxcv&^%#

7 sdsaf$([]:'
8 <-fdsjgbdfsg
9 dfgfdgfd"uodf
10 aaaa bbbbz#$
11 cccc dddd-/mnm
The output has to be
S.no Name
3 a@3$%jkhkjn
5 bbvxzckvbzxcv&^%#
7 sdsaf$([]:'
8 <-fdsjgbdfsg
10 aaaa bbbbz#$
It has to return "Name" column which is having special characters,whereas some special chars like -, / ," and space are acceptable.
The Oracle query has to print columns having special characters excluding -,/," and space
Can anyone help me to get a SQL query for the above.
Thanks in advance.

You can achieve it in multiple ways. Here are few.

Some special characters getting replaced by ? in TOAD

Hi,
I am using TOAD for updating a few records in the DB. Some special characters (non-english) like Staříč get replaced by Sta?í? in TOAD. I tried to set the characer set to default and East Europe under Editor Options, but it still doesn't work.
Any suggestions?

i) Verify your DB characterset can handle these characters
ii) Verify that the correct values are being stored (use dump function)
iii) Verify that NLS_CLient settings match NLS_Server settings
iii) Verify that this is not a windows display issue. ie Windows has been set up to display these characters.
One suggestion is to use OracleSQLDeveloper. You won't have any display issues then. :)
I use it to display arabic charcters and I don't need any registry changes etc

Problem with special characters getting converted into '#' in portal

Hi All,
The special characters like " - ", " ' ", " ` ", are getting converted into '#' when the smartform is displayed in portal.
I have a smart form in which the text contains the above special characters and they are getting displayed as ' # ', when the form is invoked in portal. We are not able to trace the problem.
I need your input on this ASAP.
Thanks in Advance,
Sowmya

This could be caused by conversion routine on the field.
in sapscript, can use &FIELD-NAME(K)& to ignore conversion routine
To see this and other options, in text edit of script select menu option Insert>Symbols>New and then type field name and select desired check box options - field will be placed in script with relevant formatting characters

Special characters in XML structure when prepared using String

Hi,
 I am preparing an XML structure using 'String'. I print the prepared XML structure in the server log. Issue is that I am seeing extra characters([[ and ]]) that I am not printing.
Please let me know how to get rid of those.
Code Excerpt
 String xmlHeader = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\" ?>";
 String lsb_xmlcon = xmlHeader;
 logger.info("ReqXMLString Process 1 --->" + lsb_xmlcon);
 lsb_xmlcon = lsb_xmlcon +("\n");
 logger.info("ReqXMLString Process 1.1 --->" + lsb_xmlcon);
 lsb_xmlcon = lsb_xmlcon +("<REQUEST>");
 lsb_xmlcon = lsb_xmlcon +("\n");
 logger.info("ReqXMLString Process 1.2 --->" + lsb_xmlcon);
Log
ReqXMLString Process 1 ---><?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
ReqXMLString Process 1.1 ---><?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>[[
ReqXMLString Process 1.2 ---><?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>[[
<REQUEST>

This issue is observed only while running the code in server, not from Jdev.
When we append the additional tags without new line character, "\n", there are no extra characters being added. Also, in other case also. where we used "Marshaller" to prepare the XML, we have seen this issue.
After we set the below property to false, we got rid of the extra characters.
 jaxbMarshaller.setProperty(Marshaller.JAXB_FORMATTED_OUTPUT, false);
Apparently the insertion of new line when the code runs on server(Weblogic 10.3.6.0) is creating the issue.
Please let me know if anyone has come across a similar scenario.
Thanks,

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?

Special Characters while loading xml file in rtf template

Hello,
We use Oracle BI Publisher Enterprise to develop and publish reports. I am self taught and I am used to developing reports the following way
1) Write SQL query
2) View the Data format and copy the xml from the browser
3) put in in textpad and use block mode to get rid of the hyphens
4) save the xml on the desktop
6) Now start a new rtf and go to plugins and load xml data
7) load the xml data and then generate a tabular or cross tab report using the toolbar in plugins
Now in step 6 when I try to load the xml data I am getting an error because some of the data elements have '<' or '>' than signs.
What are my options now and how do I fix the xml to escape or put cdata sections around the special characters? Is there a better way to develop reports using the GUI?
Thanks
