Hard Carriage Returns on Paragraph and XML

Hi,
I'm still running FM 7.2, I have 8.0, but we are not ready as a company to move yet.
I am capturing legacy FM information and need to save as XML.
This information will at times have paragraphs that used hard carriage returns to build in separation and make things easier to read.
When we export this XML, these hard CRs are removed and all extra white space is compressed out of the element.
This is causing much grief for the people reading the documents and they have asked if I can retain the hard breaks.
I've looked into the Structured Application and found nothing. I've looked at the ReadWrite Rules files in hopes I could map the hard break to a element of some kind, or something like that. I'm not finding any solutions.
Is there a way to keep this information in the resulting XML file?
Thanks,
- mike

Hello Mr. Hare,
you might try the following:
1. Adjust the template of your structapp to contain a variable named "hardreturn" whose definition is "\n" (without the quotiation marks).
2. In your R/W-Rules, write: entity "hardreturn"is fm char 0x09;
3. In every FM-Document you want to save as XML
a. also add the variable
b. assign the structapp
4. ..and do the following
a. insert the variable "hardreturn" somewhere and copy it into the clipboard, and delete the variable from your insertion point
b. Search for "\p\p" (=two consecutive hard returns, i.e. an "empty line" or for "\x09" (= a soft return) and "change" "by pasting".
The result should be a variable "hardreturn, wherever \p\p or \x09 was.
If you save this as XML, the \x09 from the variable should survive as an entity.
Hope this helps.
With kind regards,
Franz.

Carriage Returns & Line Feeds in XML documents

Does anyone know why the PL/SQL XML parser will NOT work with Carriage Returns (0x0D) within the XML document?
Currently I'm having to strip them out, leaving just the Line Feed (0x0A).
I only realised this after looking at the family.xml example document.

I forgot to mention that I'm running Oracle 8i on Windows NT.

Need to add a carriage return in Paragraph styles

Hi. I am in a muddle. I have a large amount of data from an xml source. I need to quickly add carriage returns appropriately throughout it so that the paragraph styles can be differentiated.I am using tags manually mapped to styles to do this.
In order to carriage returns am I right in thinking that I can add a GREP style to each para style, and that it will sense the end of the para through the end marker position of each tag? If this is so, what would the GREP expressionlook like to that I can automate locating the end of a tag/para style so that I can add ~b to it?
Gratefully!

Hi @chantal_diva arts,
It seems to be difficult, because you have much more invinsible character than only the xml markers in your document.
I think one good way could be @obi-wan Kenobis way.
Perhaps you can upload an example idml on a file hoster of your choise (e.g. xup.in).
Regardless, you can try the following:
1. text search:
<FEFF>
replace with:
2. grep search:
(?<=\b##)(.)
replace with:
\r$1
3. clean document
grep search:
#+
replace with:
(nothing) an empty replace field

How do i add a newline or carriage return to make my xml file look pretty?

Hi guys
I'm writing an xml file with jsp, the problem is, it writes it in one big chunk of text. e.g.
<start>hello, my name is joe</start><middle>I like trees</middle><end>boo</end>
Now what I want to do is present this xml file in a decent manner,
e.g.
<start>hello my name is joe</start>
<middle>i like trees</middle>
<end>boo</end>
i've tried
xmlFile = "<start>Hello my name is joe</start>"+\n\r;
and
xmlFile ="<start>Hello my name is joe</start>"+"\n\r";
neither work, can anyone provide me with some insight into how I can add a carriage return / new line to make my xml file look pretty?
Many thanks for any responses!

u r right <BR> tag will not work...
I wrote following code to generate xml file and it works fine...U can try the same...
try
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("c:\\temp.xml");
String xmlString = "<root>\n<start>Hello my name is joe</start>"+"\n";
xmlString = xmlString +"<middle>blah blah</middle>\n</root>";
fos.write(xmlString.getBytes());
fos.close();
fos = null;
catch(Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();

Read Only TextAreas with Carriage Return, Line Breaks and Word Wrapping

Hi all,
I know there are a few posts around this subject but I cannot find the answer to the exact problem I have.
I have a page that has a 'TextArea with Character Counter' (4000 Chars) that is conditionally read only based on the users credentials (using the 'Read Only' attributes of the TextArea item).
When the field is editable (not Read Only) everything works fine but when I make the field Read Only I start to have problems:
The first problem is that the Carriage Return and Line Breaks are ignored and the text becomes one continuos block. I have managed to fix this by adding pre and post element text of pre and /pre tags. This has made the Carriage Return and Line Breaks word nicely and dispaly correctly.
However, it has introduced a second problem. Long lines, with no Carriage Returns or Line Breaks, now extend to the far right of the page with no word wrapping, making my page potentially 4000+ characters wide.
How can I get the field to be display only, with recognised Carriage Returns and Line Breaks, and Word Wrapping inside a fixed width of, say, 150 characters?
Many thanks,
Martin

Hi,
Just a cut and paste of yours with the field name changed:
htp.p('<script>');
htp.p('$x("P3_COMMENTS").readonly=true;');
htp.p('</script>');I also have the following in the page HTML Header, could they be conflicting?
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
function setReleaseToProd(wpTypeCode){
//setReleaseToProd($v(this))
var get = new htmldb_Get(null,$v('pFlowId'),'APPLICATION_PROCESS=set_release_to_prod',0);
get.addParam('x01',wpTypeCode);
gReturn = get.get();
if(gReturn) {
$s('P3_RELEASE_TO_PROD',gReturn);
get = null;
</script>I am a long way from knowing much about Javascript (this page code was written by someone else) so all help is much appreciated.

Carriage Returns, Line Feeds, and Tabs in Text Area

I am having users copy and paste data from an Excel spreadsheet into a textarea on a BSP page. When they submit this, since there are tabs and line feeds in the data, the BSP does not recognize the data. The value in the field comes through as blank. When I manually type something into this field, with out any carriage returns, tabs, etc., the value does not come through as blank? Does anybody know how to get around this?

HI
Iam uploading the data from application server(AL11) to other server.
In the GLPCA-SGTXT(Table) iam having some text like 'This is good ##'.i was downloded some other data with this text('This is good ##') by using report program in to aplicationserver(AL11) and from there iam uploading that data into other server.
But here the problem is in the UNIX, it was showing some problem.
That is actually it need to show the format like:
001 256 786 This is good## 459786
But here it was showing like:
001 256 786 This is good^M
459786
So here '459786' is coming to next line. But i need this '459786' also in the same line.
I am not sure if it is possible to remove CR and LF's using the code the program is written in, but that is what we need to do. In Unix ^M is the CR (Carriage return), but I am not sure what LF is?

Convergence and Comm Express missing carriage returns

We have just upgraded our mail sever. We upgraded from Comm suite 5 (mail server 6.3.) on a sparc system to Comm suite 6 update 1 (mail server 7.0 update 1) . We have run into problems with alerts coming from our ERP (Oracle 11.5.9). These alerts are showing as one long line without any carriage returns in UWC and Convergence. The emails look fine in Outlook.
Thanks for any help.

I know of at least one bug (#6540158 - "javascript error if mailto: link contains encoded newline characters") that was fixed in recent MS6.3 patches and MS7.0 that may be impacting the display of Oracle ERP sourced emails -- it was the display of Oracle ERP source emails that caused the bug to be raised in the first place.
That being said the Oracle ERP emails also had formatting problems which was fixed at the Oracle end.
Please provide a sample of one of the problem emails (the raw *.msg output) that is causing the problem.

How to add carriage returns

Greetings all
I often download lyrics to songs and often they copy into MS Word without hard carriage returns-so they look as one huge paragraph.
I think the solution is that I must first find out what escape characters are in there, then search and replace with maybe 0A, 0D hex, or something like this.
Can you tell me first, how to view the actual characters in Terminal or any other program, then how to search and replace.
can this be done in Text Edit, or Ms Word?
Thanks much.

Carriage Return with the text in xdofx

Hi
I have to insert a carriage return with in a text I tried <?xdoxslt:chr(10)?>
e.g <?xdofx:if x>'0' then 'Approved. Thank you.' else 'Disapprov.Thank you. ' end if?>
so the output should be
Approved
Thank You
I need carriage return between Approved and Thank You
Thanks

Use this:
<?xdoxslt:ifelse(x>0, concat('Approved', xdoxslt:chr(10), 'Thank you.'), concat('Disapprov. ', xdoxslt:chr(10), 'Thank You.'))?>
I tried this and it works
<?xdoxslt:ifelse(10>9, concat('Approved', xdoxslt:chr(10), 'Thank you.'), concat('Disapprov. ', xdoxslt:chr(10), 'Thank You.'))?>
Thanks,

XML is cluttered with carriage returns and line feeds - how to suppress?

Hi all,
at least within text paragraphs we would prefer 'clean' XML without carriage returns. Can Framemaker be configured to avoid these control character?
Below is an example of a DITA file produced by Framemaker. Evidently this is related to the Pretty Printing feature and I do admit that it increases the readability. However they cause some issues for us. Note that the carriage returns in the paragraph are at arbitrary positions, not at the end of the lines as they appear in the Framemaker editor (I inserted the word "End" at the end of the first line).
Robert

By default, FrameMaker adds a CR at around 70-80 characters unless instructed to do otherwise.
Also, soft returns (SHIFT+ENTER) are lost unless you're in a pre formatted element like a <codeblock> (which is probably why there's no CR after your "End" text.
If you want to limit the seemingly arbitrary CRs, you must tell FM where to put them. Add the following rule to the structure application rules file ..
element "p"
writer line break is 99999 characters;

Carriage Returns and Tabs in XML element

I have a number of carriage returns and tabs within an xml element. When I take that element I would like it to transform to html in which I am then displaying within a JEditorPane. However, when I do this it is one long string. I have tried the xml:space="preserve" within that element and this still is not working.
Here is part of the xml with the carriage return line feeds. The element that I am talking about is called pseudocode. You can see it is displayed correctly below.
Design Document XML : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?><design-doc><title-page><title>Testing Document</title><class-prepared-for>Lloyd</class-prepared-for><authors>Ben Garbers</authors><date-created>September 23, 2004</date-created></title-page><introduction text="This is the introduction.

if (player =null)
     NullPlayerException;
          if (NOT (isPlayerNameExist(player)))
               throw PlayerNameNotExistException;
          /* Ensure player name exist in the team already*/
          i ? 1;
          while (i <= length(mPlayers)) {
               if (mPlayers.mPlayerName != playerName)
                    throw PlayerNameNotExistInTeamException;
this.mPlayers ? this.mPlayers - player;</pseudocode>
However, when I do the transformation I get the following with the pseudocode:
/* Ensure that player name exist in the system*/if (player =null)     NullPlayerException;          if (NOT (isPlayerNameExist(player)))               throw PlayerNameNotExistException;          /* Ensure player name exist in the team already*/          i ? 1;          while (i <= length(mPlayers)) {               if (mPlayers[i].mPlayerName != playerName)                    throw PlayerNameNotExistInTeamException;}this.mPlayers ? this.mPlayers - player;
It looks like it adds some spaces but no carriage returns or line feeds.
My transformation code is the following:
     public ParseFile(String xmlString) {
          try {
          //Here we will load the correct style sheet for the message
          //that will be formatted.

          URL url = this.getClass().getResource(urlString);
          System.out.println("URL to style sheet = " + url.toString());
          String styleSheetName = url.getFile();
          System.out.println("Style sheet name : " + styleSheetName);
          InputStream styleSheetInputStream = this.getClass().getResourceAsStream(urlString);
          //We will than load our SAXParerFactory and parse the message.
          SAXParserFactory SPFactory = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();

          XMLReader sax2parser = sp.getXMLReader();
          //NO Validation done on for this because we do NOT have a DTD.
          sax2parser.setFeature(
               "http://xml.org/sax/features/validation",
               false);

          // we then put the xml string into the character array.
          messageCharacterArray = xmlString.toCharArray();
          // after this ew end up creating a CharArrayReader that will be used by the Sax
          // parser to parse the xml.
          CharArrayReader xmlCharArrayReader =
               new CharArrayReader(messageCharacterArray);
          // we put the xml character array within the Input Source which will then be parsed

          BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new StringReader(s));
          String line = "";
          while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
                    sb.append(line);
          bos.close();
          br.close();
          formattedXmlString = sb.toString();
          System.out.println("--------------------------------");
          System.out.println(formattedXmlString);
          System.out.println("--------------------------------");
          } catch (Exception e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
I have been searching and trying to figure this out forever. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Bottom line is that I want carriage returns and tabs to work when transferring from the xml to xsl.

I get the following line when adding the <pre> tags.
/* Ensure that player name exist in the system*/if (player =null)     NullPlayerException;          if (NOT (isPlayerNameExist(player)))               throw PlayerNameNotExistException;          /* Ensure player name exist in the team already*/          i ? 1;          while (i <= length(mPlayers)) {               if (mPlayers[i].mPlayerName != playerName)                    throw PlayerNameNotExistInTeamException;}this.mPlayers ? this.mPlayers - player;
On the screen this is shown on 1 line. It looks like the tabs are working correctly. However, the carriage return, line feeds do not seem to be working. The xml that is pushed into the transformation has the carriage returns and line feeds and is formatted correctly. There has to be something happening when the xsl takes the xml String. When I add <BR></BR> within the xml that doesn't seem to work either.
I am really sumpted. If you could help DrClap I would really be appreciated.

Oracle Reports 6i Delimied Format and Carriage Returns

Hi
I'm using Oracle Reports 6i to generate a report to a text file using delimited format so I can read it in Excel. I've done some testing putting some information in the layout but it seems that all my data is generated in one line. It does not generate the carriage return for the multiple rows I need. Is this standard functionality?. If so, that means I have to generate the file using PL/SQL to get the control I want?

Whew...lot's of questions...let's see if I can help (at least a little)...
1. Quite possibly, the user is/was pulling the image from the database? I do this in my environment, so it might be worth a look.
2. You should be able to print in any format from the web. You may need to adjust your destype/desname/desname parameters.
3. Only thing I can think of here is that maybe the original report was not written using a standard web-friendly font?
4. There's a couple of ways you can get data into an excel file:
A. Use DDE and poke the data right into it (messy when you need to print the regular Oracle report too).
B. Add an option to print to file and set the desformat to DELIMITEDDATA. Be sure to go through the data model and set Exclude from XML Output to 'Yes' for fields you don't need. Also, be aware that this may not come out in the same order as they do on the printed report. You can read about this on Metalink.
Hopefully that helps you a little bit. :)

Outputting XML carriage return in HTML via XSLT

Hi,
I have a scenario where I execute a View Object query in ADF to retrieve results from a particular table in the Database. I then iterate through the results in my Java managed bean and manually construct an XML file with all the appropriate tags. I then pass the XML file through a Transformer class in the Java bean based on an XSLT I have created to produce an HTML page. However I have an issue when it comes to handling carriage returns. One of the database table columns can contain carriage returns within its value but in the final HTML page the carriage returns don't have any effect and the text just displays on one line.
In the database, the values are stored with the carriage return and in SQL Developer, Toad etc this can be seen e.g. Text1 Text2 Text3 Text4 will display on separate lines. In the XML, the carriage return seems to still be there as when I open the file my element which contains the carriage returns shows each part on a new line e.g. <textElement>Text1
                                                       Text2
                                                       Text3
                                                       Text4</textElement>     (The Text2, Text3 and Text4 all start on a new line at the beginning and there's no prior white space as shown in this post)
The XML file in JDeveloper also shows carriage return arrow symbols where there is one.
The HTML page just shows them as Text1 Text2 Text3 Text4 all on one line. Inspecting the source of the HTML shows that the carriage return is in fact there as it also displays as per the XML with the values on separate lines.
Outputting the value from the View Object in Java to the log shows the value coming out like this - Text1 Text2Text3Text4, which is strange but I know the carriage returns are there so I'm not too fussed about this.
I have tried escaping the characters in the Java by doing str.replaceAll("[\\r\\n]", ""); (but replacing the "" with  
 or &x0A;) so in the XML it replaces carriage returns and line feeds with these escaped characters. However, when the XSLT parses the XML it doesn't pick these up and instead actually outputs these actual characters as they are e.g. Text1&x0A;Text2&x0A;Text3&x0A;Text4
So I can confirm that the carriage return is carrying all the way through to the XSL but I can't help but think that maybe I need to do something in the XSL to process this somehow, e.g. doing the equivalent of the 'replace' in Java but I don't know what I need to search for in the XML and also what to actually replace it with..Do I just replace it with a </BR> in HTML?
We also parse the XML using PDF and Excel XSL Transformer class and see the same results.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

That's a very commonly asked question.
HTML doesn't preserve linefeeds, except for the <pre> tag.
You'll have to replace those characters with <BR/> tags in the XSLT.
Search the Internet for terms like "XSLT HTML LF", you'll find some XSLT sample templates to handle the replacement.

Receiver File channel for XML files: with carriage return

Hi all,
we are using a receiver FILE channel to generate an XML file that is sent to an external partner.
The XML file looks good in a parser (IExplorer). But in fact there are not carriage return / line feeds between the XML tags
of the XML payload in the file.
Our partner now requires the XML file in a more vertical structure which means: for every tag a separate line (like it is displayed in a parser)
Does anybody know a more general way to convert to a vertical XML structure (so with carriage return line feed).
There is one entry in the SDN dealing with this topic but suggesting using an UDF. I think this is a very specific way.
I don't think it is a good way to change/enhance the message mapping just because of a general formating change.
Is it better to use an XSLT mapping as a second step in the interface mapping or a JAVA adapter module to convert ?
any experiences? suggestions? examples?
Thank you very much
best regards
Hans

In such a case, the best is to write an generic XSLT or Java mapping that will attempt to do the pretty printing/formatting of the xml.
The advantage of a generic one is that you can reuse the same class/jar for many other scenarios.
so the flow will be as below in your interface mapping;
1. your specific source to target mapping
2. the generic formatting class

XSL mapping of ARTMAS IDoc - carriage returns and white space

Hi all. I have tried all sorts here and am completely stuck. I am mapping an article master ARTMAS IDoc using XSL mapping and an extra carriage return and white space characters are being added to the FIELD1 and FIELD2 fields of the E1BPE1MARAEXTRT segment and I don't know why! These fields contain all our bespoke field values joined together so they are 229 and 250 characters long respectively, which I think is related to the problem. The mapping program looks like this:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="xml" encoding="UTF-8" omit-xml-declaration="no" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<ARTMAS04>
<IDOC>
<xsl:copy-of select="//ARTMAS04/IDOC/EDI_DC40"/>
<xsl:copy-of select="//ARTMAS04/IDOC/E1BPE1MATHEAD"/>
<xsl:copy-of select="//ARTMAS04/IDOC/E1BPE1MARART"/>
<xsl:copy-of select="//ARTMAS04/IDOC/E1BPE1MARAEXTRT"/>
<xsl:copy-of select="//ARTMAS04/IDOC/E1BPE1MAKTRT"/>
<xsl:for-each select="//ARTMAS04/IDOC/E1BPE1MARCRT">
    <xsl:if test="(PLANT='D100') or (PLANT='D200') or (PLANT='D300')">
      <xsl:copy-of select="."/>
    </xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:copy-of select="//ARTMAS04/IDOC/E1BPE1MARMRT"/>
<xsl:copy-of select="//ARTMAS04/IDOC/E1BPE1MEANRT"/>
</IDOC>
</ARTMAS04>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
I have a test IDoc going through this and the first 3 characters of the FIELD1 are "BIK". If I look at the source of the XML file, the problem area looks like this:
<E1BPE1MARAEXTRT SEGMENT="1">
      <FUNCTION>004</FUNCTION>
      <MATERIAL>000000000000895649</MATERIAL>
      <b><FIELD1>
        BIK</b>      0 0.00 T                                    000000001CARRERA FURY 04 20"     CARRERA FURY 04 20" 2005092420040622    X                    00000000   20031104 00200406140000000000                    0.00 0000000
      </FIELD1>
You can't really see it above, but there is a carriage return and 8 white spaces before the BIK. Where does this carriage return and white space come from?! Any help would be really appreciated - this is driving me crazy!
Many thanks,
Stuart Richards

Stuart,
I think I know the cause to your problem. I am not an XSLT programmer but based on searching this forum I found how I can acheive the carriage return at the end of my document. Your xsl statement is as follows:
<xsl:output method="xml" encoding="UTF-8" omit-xml-declaration="no" indent="yes"/>
Change the indent value from yes to no. This should remove the carraige return. Hope this works for you.
I actually need a carriage return and line feed on my document so I am still stuck. All I have acheived is the carraige return.
Thanks,
Jim
