How can I know the encoding format for a file.

I have files encoded in English, Spanish, Japanese etc. I want to know which file has which encoding format while reading.
Can anyone suggest.
Ashish

Language is different from "encoding"...if you mean character encoding. Multiple languages can be represented by a single encoding. The fact that you mix language and encoding in your question confuses me about what you are asking.
If you want to know what language a file uses, you can always use a meta-tag. Or you can do some kind of text analysis based on dictionary lookups to determine language...too complex for my tastes. I think a simple language tag in the file makes more sense.
As for character encoding, you either standardize on a single encoding for all files or again use a meta-tag. If you standardize on a single encoding, you should probably consider one of the Unicode encodings instead of any other character set encoding.

  • How can I know the right component for a transaction?

    Hi, I have a question
    When creating a new message in Solution Manager, notif_create, how can I know the right component given the transaction code or program name?
    Thanks in advance
    Edited by: María Valdés on Aug 19, 2008 6:25 PM

    Hello Maria,
    Well, in the Support Message window, place the cursor in Component box and press F4. This will brings up another window which contains the components list to which you are authorized. From that list you can choose about which component you want to create that particular support message.
    For example, if you are from Quality department, the following can be visible when you press F4.
    QM - Quality Management
      -- QM-ADB Adobe Forms
           -- QM-ADB-PRN Print Forms
      For the Print Forms, the component will be QM-ADB-PRN
    I hope it helps.
    Cheers,
    Satish.

  • How can I know the delta field for CO-PA datasource?

    Hi,folks:
        How can I know which is the field assigned as the delta field for CO-PA datasource,as is noticed in the note that after PI2004 the logic has been turned to general datasource,but I can't find the datasource through RSO2.
        Full points will be given to u.
    Martin Xie

    Dear Martin,
    The CO-PA DataSources generated use a separate time stamp method for the delta procedure. This procedure means that client-independent DataSources in CO-PA are normally restricted to the clients in which they were generated.
    See this link...
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005vp/helpdata/en/97/6f4d40cef71059e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
    Also check ROOSOURCE in R3, asmentioned by Dinesh.
    Hope it helps.

  • How can I get the exact pathname for a file on my computer?

    I need to enter a command in Terminal that contains the pathname of an application. I know what the path is but Terminal does not recognize it. How do I make sure the pathname is in the correct form?

    Enter the command up to the point of entering the file path and add a space, then drag the file into the terminal window. It will fill out the path.
    If you need to go further into the contents of the Application package, you can continue with /Contents...
    Another way is to start typing and then hit Tab to auto-complete. It will stop where it can't determine the next letter.
    So, type /App tab and it will fill in /Applications. Type a / and start with the name of the app, then tab and it should complete. Continue till you have the correct path.
    Spaces will be replaced with \<space>, so, App Store would end up as /Applications/App\ Store.app

  • How I may change the encoding names for downloaded files?

    I have some problem with encoding when I download files from russian sites. The downloaded files look like this "ìîé êàáèíåò - èíôîðìàöèÿ"

    Firefox, as is, will only download the file. You can choose where the file is
    saved, but that's it.
    Go to the '''''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ Mozilla Add-ons Web Page]''''' {web link}
    (There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search for '''download managers.'''
    Many of them give you a chance to change the file name.

  • How do I know the "date added" for a file ?

    Hello,
    With Leopard, the folders in the dock can be sorted by "date added" (date when the file was added to the folder).
    Does anyone know a way to know this date for a given file ?
    I hope my english was clear enough :o)

    Thanks for your answer, but in the view options, I only have the creation date and the modification. The "Added" is not available.

  • How can i know the price for iphone s5 in Middle East in Oman

    hi..
    please help me
    i want to buy an iphone 5s. how can i buy it from apple store?
    how can i know the real price for my country, aware that i am in Middle East exactly in Oman?
    and how many time it will take to reach in my country Oman?
    please help as soon as you can..
    thank you

    As I said, if you want to buy it from the USA online Apple store, you will need to have a credit card issued by an American Bank or financial company, you will have to have a USA billing address associated with that card, and you will have to have it shipped to a USA street address.
    Aramax is a shipping company - you do not have a credit card from them and they cannot pay for your purchase.  Having an account with a shipping company doesn't provide you with a USA source of payment for your purchase.
    As I understand it, the Oman government does not allow the iPhone to be sold in Oman, there are no official service providers for it, and thus there is no legitimate source to buy an iPhone from within Oman.
    Online Apple stores do not allow payment by foreign means or in foreign currency, they do not do currency exchange, nor do they ship internationally.

  • How can we know the format of report

    Developed a web application using java SDK.
    How can we know the format of report that is is it a crystal report , PDF or excel or hyperling.
    If it is crystal report then i use openDoc and the report is opened but if its a hyperlink or PDf i am not able to open the report .
    Please help.

    Check the si_kind or so_progid property of object. You can use oInfoObject.getKind() to retrieve that.
    a crystal report would return crystalreport a pdf would return pdf etc.

    Is there a limit for the apps that i purchased or i can purchase as much i want? and how can i know the capacity it's taking? Thank you

    Yes you can buy whatever you want if your credit card is in good standing.
    Before you buy, read the size of the download in iTunes/App/iBook Store.
    Rule of thumb, you need to reserve about 10% of your total space.

  • How can we know the password for a oracle user

    Hi to All,
    Can any one help me plz how can we know the password for any user in oracle.
    Regards
    dxb_dba

    Assuming one wants to stay with database-stored passwords (the traditional method), one may want to look at the password aging and complexity enforcing mechanisms.
    Oracle has a complete manual around this. For 10gR2, the Oacle Database Security Guide chapter 4 is interesting reading - section 4.3 is the discussion for database authentication. And section 7.4.4 talks about the complexity enforcement.

  • How can I know the request is come from the link in header in the filter?

    I am using the tile for layout management and each page has a header, menu, and content body. I want to do something at the filter If the request is come from the commandlinks in the header and menu.
    How can I know the request is come from the link in header in the filter?

    Basically all you have to go on is the request data. Examine the encode/decode requirements for commandLink; you may be able to determine from the request attributes which commandLink has been invoked.
