How to handle Quotation marks?

Hi,
I've got a problem with "Pages". As a German user I'd like to use German quotation marks, those that open low and close high. At the moment I can use only English quotation marks, opening and closing high. How can I fix this specific problem so that the quotation marks open low and close high automatically.
Thanks for your help...

Tom,
I'm not sure about an error.
It seems that the cmd-key causes the keys shown in Keyboard Viewer not to work. As you mentioned, cmd is used for - commands. I switched to Swiss layout and tried several combos with cmd: shift-alt-cmd-w just beeps, shift-alt-cmd-q should result in but logged me off (shift-cmd-q!). So, I think Keyboard Viewer isn't reliable on key combos with cmd.
Thus, I think the easiest way is to use my workaround. Keep in mind, once you've set up German and Swiss layouts to be accessible via menu, it's quite easy to switch between them.
Hmm, I see, my above posting isn't very clear. The steps described behind the bullets need only to be made one time. Then you just need to click on the flag to change to another layout.
How would you make a custom (Swiss) layout?

How to remove quotations marks from csv file

Hi
My input file is a .csv file which contains each value in quotation marks
ex: - "123456778","jakob","grade10"
Also each record in the input file contains 333 values .
i am reading these records and using stringtokenizer to fetch value by value for that record .
i want to remove the quotation marks before i put the values back into an output file with .txt extension .
those output files will be bcped later into sybase db.
Should the quotation marks be removed in the java code or is their anyother way to remove the quotation marks from the output file while bcping them .
Thank You

I also suggest if possible, you use tab delimited cvs files rather than comma delimited cvs files.That would be TSV, LOL...
If there are commas inside your data elements, you will not be able to tell if they are part of the data or are delimiters. Tab delimited files avoid this.What if your data contain tabs? Although there's no CSV specification, the common standard practice is to use two double quotes to escape a quote.

How to change quotation marks throughout document?

Hello, so all my quotations in my document are like this
“It’s a nasty thing to do”
I want to change them to
'It’s a nasty thing to do'
Is there any easy way of doing this? I tried doing them separately but it always made them both the same direction...if that makes sense? So two 66s or 99s.
Thanks
Dan

Find-and-change should work just fine, but there are a couple of special issues with quote marks.
FIRST: If you put a straight single or double quote in FIND, it will match straight, curly open, and curly closed. (But only for its own 'kind', a single straight quote will never match a double curly one).
SECOND: if you put a straight single or double quote in REPLACE, it will be replaced with a straight, curly open or curly closed according to the active RULES. Rule #1 is, of course, "Use Typographer's Quotes" -- if this is checked, they will be curly, otherwise they will be straight. Rule #2 is only for curlies: if there is a non-word character to the left, the quote will be "Open", otherwise it will be a "Close" one. Rule #3 is: the style of these quotes will be taken from the language of the text that it's applied to.
THIRD: to override any of the above, use the Meta-characters for the various quotes. You can use them both in Find and in Change, and you can find the meta-characters in the Online help for your version of InDesign, and in the pop-down menus next to the Find and Change fields. Some that I regularly use:
^' in FIND will only match straight quotes, no curlies. Same for ^"
^[ will FIND only curly single opens, and in REPLACE will only insert curly single opens
^] same for curly single closes.
In your example, you seem to change double quotes to single ones (why not simply say so? ), but you say they change to two 66s or 99s. Perhaps that's a language thing? In Finnish, for example, both open and close are 99s.

How do I replace quotation marks with double angle quotation marks, still keeping the word in the mi

Hi,
Does anyone know how to replace quotation marks with double angle quotation marks, still keeping the word in the middle?
For example: I search for a word with quotation marks by typing in: (")(\w+)(") in the "find what" field. What should I type in the "change to" field?
I'd be very grateful for answers!

It's much simpler: find " and replace with " (make sure that 'Use typographer's quotes' is enabled in the preferences).

How can i get the correct text from a string like it show in the original source with the quotation marks in the right place ?

The text is in hebrew so the problem is that sometimes the quotation marks not in the right place.
For example i have this text: תווית
על בגד: ''תן לאישה לכבס. זה תפקידה''
This is the source original text you can see the quotations marks and they are not in the right place and all i did is copy paste.
And this is a screenshot of how this text looks like in the website in the original:
You can see now where the quotations marks should be.
Now this is how i'm using the text in my program:
First of all i'm using a webclient to download the page from the website and i'm also encoding it to windows-1255 since it's in hebrew.
using (var webClient = new WebClient())
webClient.Headers.Add("user-agent", "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.2; .NET CLR 1.0.3705;)");
byte[] myDataBuffer = webClient.DownloadData("http://rotter.net/scoopscache.html");
page = Encoding.GetEncoding("windows-1255").GetString(myDataBuffer);
Then i'm extracting the places i need by reading the html file lines and parsing the right text and it's link.
string loc;
List<string> metas = new List<string>();
List<string> metas1 = new List<string>();
List<string> lockedLinks1 = new List<string>();
string text = "";
string mys = "";
public List<string> LockedThreads(string filename)
lockedThreads = new List<string>();
lockedLinks = new List<string>();
Regex textRegex = new Regex("ToolTip.*?(?=','<)");
string[] fall = File.ReadAllLines(filename);
for (int i = 0; i < fall.Length; i++)
if (fall[i].Contains("http://rotter.net") && fall[i].Contains("locked")||
fall[i].Contains("locked_icon_general") ||
fall[i].Contains("locked_icon_anchor") ||
fall[i].Contains("icon_anchor") ||
fall[i].Contains("locked_icon_fire") ||
fall[i].Contains("locked_icon_sport") ||
fall[i].Contains("locked_icon_camera") ||
fall[i].Contains("locked_icon_movie"))
Regex linkParser = new Regex(@"\b(?:https?://|www\.)\S+\b", RegexOptions.Compiled | RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
foreach (Match m in linkParser.Matches(fall[i + 2]))
if (m.Value.Contains("><b"))
loc = m.Value.Replace("\"><b", string.Empty);
lockedLinks.Add(loc);
string txt = fall[i - 1];
string text = textRegex.Match(txt).Value.Replace("ToolTip','", String.Empty);
if (text.Contains("’"))
text = text.Replace("’", string.Empty);
lockedThreads.Add(text);
Already here on the List lockedThreads you can see the quotation marks not in the right place as in the original:
After i'm parsing the text and links and adding them to the Lists in another class i'm doing a comparison using this Lists:
foreach (List<string> l_branch in ListsExtractions.responsers)
TreeNode l_node = treeView1.Nodes.Add(l_branch[l_branch.Count - 1]);
if (ListsExtractions.lockedThreads.Contains(l_node.Text))
l_node.ImageIndex = 0;
l_node.SelectedImageIndex = 0;
for (int l_count = 0; l_count < l_branch.Count - 1; l_count++)
TreeNode l_subnode = l_node.Nodes.Add(l_branch[l_count]);
if (ListsExtractions.lockedThreads.Contains(l_subnode.Text))
l_subnode.ImageIndex = 0;
l_subnode.SelectedImageIndex = 0;
The problem is in the line:
if (ListsExtractions.lockedThreads.Contains(l_node.Text))
When it's getting to the line with the quotation marks it's never equal.
Now there are more quotation marks.
In general the problem when comparing both text if it's having quotation marks it's not the same.
So i have two options:
1. To fix it somehow so the quotation marks will be the same in both variables when comparing and also the same like in the original as they show in the html page.
2. To remove the quotation marks from both variables.
What should i do ? And how ? I was prefer to use the original quotation marks like in the original since they have a meaning in the place they should be. The question is how can i do it ?
This is example of the block from the html file where the text with the quotation marks is:
<TD ALIGN="RIGHT" VALIGN="TOP"> 9418 </TD></TR><TR BGCOLOR="#eeeeee">
<TD ALIGN="RIGHT" VALIGN="TOP">
<body onmousemove="overhere()">

<img src="http://rotter.net/forum/Images/new_locked_icon_general.gif" border="0"></a></TD><TD ALIGN="right" VALIGN="TOP" WIDTH="55%">

תווית על בגד: ''תן לאישה לכבס. זה תפקידה''
</a></TD>

Ok, it is unclear on what is happening here.
Are you saying that when the webclient gets the data that it is not honoring the quote characters? Or the processing of the data buffer is causing issues?
This is what I see the of your example text which is trying to be parse out:
<a onmouseover="EnterContent('ToolTip','תווית על בגד: ’’תן לאישה לכבס. זה תפקידה’’','כתב: Spook בתאריך: 08.03.15 שעה: 22:11 מחאת טוויטר קמה בעקבות תוויות שוביניסטיות שהדפיסה חברת אופנה באינדונזיה לפיהן תפקיד הכביסה מוטל על האישה. החברה התנצלה אך כנראה רק עשתה רק יותר נזק לע...'); Activate();">";
It appears to me that the escapes `’` does not have matching `“` anywhere within the tooltip. So it appears that the page properly places left quotes in when processing the page, but the raw html has broken text.
Hence a garbage in, garbage out situation.

When downloading text, quotation marks, commas & apostrophes are rendered as gibberish. How can I cure this?

I use IBM Lotus Symphony as my default word processor. When I download materials as .txt, all apostrophes, quotation marks and hyphens are shown as gibberish> How do I get them to download and display normally?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Some time ago

I want to ask for more information. Do these files look ok in Firefox/Lotus/and another word processor? Where do you download them from and to?
If you have a problem with display of fonts in Firefox, you can try to change font setting in Tools menu, Options window, Content panel, fonts section.

How to execute "netsh wlan connect SSID", but SSID has space and quotation marks?

Dear all:
I have a wifi roruter with SSID test "3"
But when I execute following command netsh wlan connect "test \"3\""
the netsh reply: 未將設定檔 "test " 指派給指定的介面。
Sorry my windows7 is chinese version, but as you can see, netsh detect my SSID as
test, not test "3".
Does everybody know how to use netsh to connect to a SSID, and these SSID has space and quotation mark both?
Regards,
Joseph

Hi Joseph,
Firstly, please modify your SSID name to make sure it do not contain spaces or special characters. SSID name is the router setting. please go there to change SSID name.
In addition, If only one SSID is specified in the profile, then the specified SSID is used to connect, and the ssid parameter is not required. If the profile specifies multiple SSIDs, the ssid parameter is required.
Therefore, I would like to suggest you run command as this syntax:
netsh wlan conncet ssid=Your SSID of the unsecured wireless network name=Your current profile name
To do this, please refer to the section “connect” in the following document:

How can I eliminate automatic "quotation marks" that are appearing at the end of each line?

I keep getting "quotation marks" at the end of every line when I type. How can I eliminate these marks as they are even showing up when I print and I will not have on my wedding programs! Please help (from a desperate bride-to-be)!

It sounds like you are using an East Asian font and unless you are issuing invitations in Chinese, Japanese, or Korean that doesn't sound like a good idea.

How to handle marked rows in an ALV table

Hi Experts,
there is an ALV table in my Web Dynpro. It has a functionality to handle one marked row via lead selection. This is the coding to get the marked row:
lr_nd_ma_leist = wd_context->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_tab_ma_leist ).
lr_el_ma_leist = lr_nd_ma_leist->get_lead_selection( ).
idx = lr_el_ma_leist->get_index( ).
My problem is to handle more than one marked row. I changed the contexts' properties to allow to mark more than one row. But how can I get the number and the index of all the marked rows?
Thanks in advance,
Tan

use the method get_element_selected( ) and get_index( ).
data sel type WDR_CONTEXT_ELEMENT_SET.
sel = lo_nd_zdealer->get_selected_elements( INCLUDING_LEAD_SELECTION = abap_true ).
data el type ref to if_wd_context_element.
data indx type i.
loop at sel into el.
indx = el->get_index( ).
endloop.
thanks

How can I type curved quotation marks on iPad2?

I have recently started using Pages for both my Mac and iPad2 so I can continue typing on documents through iCloud. However, on my iPad, whenever I type quotation marks, rather than curved quotation marks, it is only allowing me to type straight quotation marks. How can I type curved ones? example:
On Mac: “I like apples.”
On iPad: "I like apples."

EIther tap and swipe up or tap and hold the " key. This will bring up a menu of additional characters including the two curved marks. While your finger is still touching the screen, slide over to the character you want and then release.
BTW, Further characters can be found by using this trick with other keys. For instance you can type a percentage symbol from the 0 (zero) key.

Slideshow Captions - How Can I Delete the Quotation Marks?

I am creating a slideshow in Lightroom 3 using the Caption and Rating preset. There are no quotation marks around the metadata captions, but when I preview the slideshow all my captions have quotation marks. I have searched Edit>Preferences in the Slideshow module, but there is no mention of captions or quotation marks. How can I get rid of the quotes?
Thanks for any help or suggestions!
(3 days later: 55 people have looked at this discussion, but no one has responded. I'm still hoping I can delete the quotation marks around my slideshow captions. Any ideas out there somewhere?)

9 views actually...
You will have to change the preset. Just click in the text box, then on the tool bar change Custom Settings, to Caption.
You can then save this as a new preset.
