Thanks in advance!
Tiberius

Hmm... actually it's straight forward:
drop table mytexts
create table mytexts (comment varchar(50))
insert into mytexts values ('This is a standard text!')
insert into mytexts values ('There comes a TAB     <--')
insert into mytexts values ('This is called a newline
<--<')
select * from mytexts
| COMMENT                                            |
| -------------------------------------------------- |
| This is a standard text!                           |
| There comes a TAB     <--                              |
| This is called a newline
<--<                     |
3 rows selected (1375 usec)
sqlcli db770=> select replace (replace(comment, '       '), '
> ') as cleaned_comment from mytexts
> ;

Hi Venkat,

Depends upon encoding methods handling will differ,
you can use ISO-8859-1 or ISO-8859-2 instead of UTF-8 for some special characters.

How to write special characters in PDF using iText

How to write special characters encoded with UTF-8 in PDF using iText.
Regards,
Pandharinath.

I don't know what your problem is but that's almost certainly the wrong question to ask about it. Java (including iText) uses only Unicode characters. (You may consider some of them to be "special" if you like but Unicode doesn't.) And when it does that, they aren't encoded in UTF-8 or any other encoding.
So can you describe your problem? That question doesn't make sense.

There are a set of characters / icons /symbols that can be included in Script , for that open a window in edit mode and in the menu there will be an option called Insert , here you can find a lot of characters/symbols that can be included .

Removing special characters

Hi,
I have to remove special characters from string and replace it with space.
Kindly help its urgent.
Thanks

Hi,
You Can use Overlay command for this.
Syntax
OVERLAY text1 WITH text2 [ONLY pattern].
Effect
Characters in the text1 variable are replaced by characters in the text2 data object which are there in the same location. If the ONLY addition is not specified, all blank characters in text1 are replaced. If the ONLY addition is specified, all characters are replaced that occur in the pattern data object, and upper and lowercase is taken into consideration. If the lengths of text1 and text2 are different, text1 is processed using the shorter length only.
CONSTANTS initial_time TYPE t VALUE IS INITIAL.
DATA: time TYPE t,
text(4) TYPE c.
text = '12'.
time = text.
write : time.
Thanks,

How can I remove special characters from spreadsheet filename?

Hi
Having a spreadsheet filename coded (on the Report Attributes page) as &VARIABLE..csv works fine unless the VARIABLE contains special characters such as space, lt, gt and so on.
In the case of space, it is replaced by %20 in the generated filename. Is it possible convert the %20s to underscores (or remove them)?
thanks
Trevor

Trevor,
I would use a computation on that page to alter the value of variable, perhaps a SQL Expression such as:
replace (:VARIABLE, ' ', '_')Alternatively, look at the process that puts the value into VARIABLE in the first place and ensure no spaces >, etc are assigned.

How to handle special characters in NWDI

Dear All
I am trying to update the Description from JSP form. Through JCO we are calling the RFC of ABAP. We are passing these description from Java to RFC of ABAP and this RFC update the text in Database.
We have noticed that if there is some special character in description like as : or , complete description is not getting updated in to the SAP database.
Can anyone help me how to handle these special characters in Java. There may be N number of special characters. We want to generalize it. We want to replace these characters by s and z respectively.
For example : We want to update this description.

Hi Bhavishya,
Apparently your SAP database isn't configured to support Unicode. That would be the first solution to your problem, but I can imagine it's a bit drastic to convert your DB.
A second solution would be to encode the input description to ASCII before storing it in the database. When reading from the database, decode again to Unicode. This way, no information is lost. A suitable encoding would be Base64. e.g.
String description = "unday ebra";
String descriptionBase64 = new sun.misc.BASE64Encoder().encode(
description.getBytes("UTF-8")); // ""
// store descriptionBase64 in the DB
// later, when reading descriptionBase64 from the DB
String description2 = new String(
new sun.misc.BASE64Decoder().decodeBuffer(descriptionBase64), "UTF-8");
Instead of using Sun's implementation, a better alternative is to use the open source implementation
org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Base64 from Commons Codec .
The 3rd approach is indeed to normalize the description by replacing all special characters with their ASCII equivalent. A rather easy solution is as follows:
String description = "unday ebra";
String descriptionNormalized = sun.text.Normalizer.normalize(
description, sun.text.Normalizer.DECOMP, 0).replaceAll(
"[^p{ASCII}]", "");
sun.text.Normalizer decomposes the string, e.g. "éàî" becomes "e´a`i^", after which non-ASCII characters are being removed using a regular expression.Again, note that it's usually a bad idea to use sun.* packages, see note about sun.* packages. The above code only works with J2SE 1.4 and J2SE 5.0, but it breaks in J2SE 6.0 (where
java.text.Normalizer became part of the public API ;-). A good open source implementation can be found here: ICU4J (com.ibm.icu.text.Normalizer).
Kind regards,

Remove Special Character in XSLT

Hi All,
Could anyone please help me in removing the special characters in the XSLT file.
For Example, XSLT tag has like below code,
<Name>
<xsl:valule-of select="Payee/Name"/>
</Name>
where as Payee/name has value of "ORACLE%$ISGREAT".(I can have only A..Z and 0..9, no other than this)
Could any one pls help me.
Regards,
Uva

Which XSLT version are you able to use? 1.0 or 2.0 ?
On 2.0, regular expressions support makes it easy :
<xsl:value-of select="replace(Payee/Name, '[^0-9A-Z]', '')"/>
On 1.0, it's just a bit more complicated, using the double translate trick :
translate($str, translate($str, '0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ', ''), '')
which you can turn into a named template for modularity :
<xsl:template name="sanitize">
<xsl:param name="str"/>
<xsl:value-of select="translate($str, translate($str, '0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ', ''), '')"/>
</xsl:template>
and call it like this :
<xsl:call-template name="sanitize">
<xsl:with-param name="str" select="Payee/Name"/>
</xsl:call-template>

Remove special characters from incoming data

Hi Varun, You could use either of below.. REG_REPLACE(YOUR_INPUT_STR,^[A-Za-z0-9 ],NULL) -- Replaces all non-alphanumeric with null
REG_EXTRACT(YOUR_INPUT_STR,[A-Za-z0-9 ]) -- Extracts only alphanumeric data -Rajani

i have special character coming in the source data and i want to remove it before loading into target, currently i am getting one special character , it may come as some other type of special character other than alpha numeric. so how to remove those special characters from data and load the alphanumeric data into target.

How to add special characters in Flash CS3

Hi, i need the help of some flash guru… these last weeks we were working with cloversites.com to build a community website… the interface is awesome etc etc however we in Malta have eight special characters (GCZ with a dot on top of them and an H with a second strikethrough). Those at cloversites wrestled with the problem, they could see the characters on their computers but when they entered the text in the site, flash couldn't render the special characters. Here is their message:
I am extremely sorry about this, but we were unable to add in your characters. We attempted to add them into our software but they did not work. We worked on it all morning and realized that we need an extra add-on for our keyboards. Adding special characters is nothing new to us and have answered this request for many of our international users. For some reason, the Maltese characters did not work in our sites. For example, our "option-G" is the copyright symbol so it will need to be transferred over to international characters.
Unfortunately, we thing that this has to do with Adobe Flash CS3. The software allowed me to embed the characters, but we were unable to render them on the web. Which led us to think it had to do with the version Adobe is running and its inability to render the text through its software on the web. None of the characters worked on the web, and it looks like its just an Adobe bug. So we are able to type and use the Maltese characters, but Adobe Flash is having trouble with them.
Does anybody know of any possible solution?
