How to replace XML special characters using Xpress e.g. ' = '

Hellos
I need to write some XML built from resource data.
The resource data strings can contain anything e.g. & ' " < and > characters.
How do I replace these characters with the strings & ' " etc.... from within Xpress?
I try something like:-
<set name='testchar'>
<switch>
<ref>thisLetter</ref>
<case>
<s>'</s>
<s>'</s>
</case>
<case>
<s>"</s>
<s>"</s>
</case>
<case default='true'>
<ref>thisLetter</ref>
</case>
</switch>
</set>
But when saved the <s>'</s> gets saved as <s>'</s>
Is this impossible with Xpress forcing me to invoke my own Java class? (which is a pain to do because of internal politics re restarting of App Server).

Hmmmm seems there is transformation in this set up too.
What I am trying to do is to parse a string which may or may not contain XML special characters into an XML acceptable string.
e.g. transform the surname O'Connor into O&apos ;Connor (with no embedded blank)
I wish to write a rule which uses XPress language to achieve this.
I want to convert the character ' into the string &apos ; (with no blank between apos and ;) and similar for the other XML specials.
Is this possible?

How can I display special characters of NonEuropean languages (French, Italian, Spanish, German and Portuguese.) using import string mechanism

I would like to translate the User Interface of my application to French, Italian, Spanish, German and Portuguese.
When I put special characters in the import string file they showed up as ? (question mark)
The import strings file includes the following parameters for each string: font, text, size and style. (but no field for script)
In order to use a unicode font such as Arial I need to select a french script. But this option is not supported bu LabView (As far as I saw)
A) Is there a font which is directly German/ French etc and not regula font + script parameter?
B) Are there another required step
s for special characters support? (When I put speciual characters in the import string file the showed up as ? question mark)

This was discussed last week in this group- read the previous messages.
Look for the thread "Foreign Languages in Labview"
And recite the mantra
ActiveX is good
ActiveX is holy
All Hail Bill
Those who claim otherwise are heretics and not to be trusted
Actually, in this case the non-ActiveX suggestions may be good.

How can I distinguish special characters or signs in Doc through VBA?

How can I distinguish special characters or signs in Doc through VBA?
I have a few large documents written in word 2003 format and now I work on them under word 2007.
Such large documents containing lots of special characters. I want to change them into Microsoft 3.0 equation form（It is required by the team). I find no way but using function AddOLEObject and Sendkeys through VBA. Common characters can be added
to equation by function Sendkeys, but the return value of Asc() or AscW() for "double arrow", "in" , " not greater than " such special characters or signs, to name but a few are the same ,i.e., 40 And I cannot distinguish them.
I found the link http://msdn.itags.org/word/44333/ may be of use to me, and the title is:
How to read symbols from a DOC documents! (Microsoft Word)
the original question is
Using function "InsertSymbol", I can insert a symbol into a document. But
how can I read a symbol from a document?
Using "Characters(i).range.text", I can read a char. But when meeting a
symbol, the value of "Characters(i).range.text" is always '('.How can I get the CharacterNumber of the symbol.
And the final answer is :
Hi chenfeng,
Word protects symbols from symbol fonts if you insert them from the "Insert
> Symbol" dialog.
This is done so they aren't changed when you change the font or style. But
it also results in Word reporting AscW( ) = 40 on all of them.
I've posted a macro to "unprotect" them (or to protect them again if you
want) ... just today again in

Replace function - special characters

Hi All,
If my column is encountering special characters I would like to replace with blank. Special characters may vary from record to record. Sometimes it is @ sometimes $,!,,$,^,<,&,<,>,?,",{,},+,_,),(.
Do we have any function same like replace that can replace all special characters, whatever it encounters with required value?

How do you insert special characters with imovie 08?

How do you insert special characters into a project
with imovie 08?

Don't think that would work. Since my "system date" is already set at 2007. I have 2 imports, one has the year as 2048, and the other at 2016!! I don't know where they are getting these dates from, but they are not the system date.
Were the files imported directly from a camcorder or from files already on your hard drive? In the first case the year may have been taken from the time "stamp" recorded when the footage was shot (which may or may not have been correctly set by the user). On the other hand, files imported from the hard drive seem to be keyed to the date the imported file is written to the "Events" folder which, of course, reflects the current system time/date setting. That's why I said you had to then import (re-import) the files from a hard drive source -- i.e., to ensure the DTG would be re-written.

I want to remove all (128-223)the special characters that come in the mapping from the URL

please suggest.
thank you,

HI Sri
You can use the Java code as given above
Other method can be XSLT
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="2.0">
            <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
            <xsl:template match="/source node">
                  <target node>
                        <xsl:value-of select="replace(.,'sepcial character','')"/>
                  </target node>

How to validate UTF-8 characters using Regex?

Hi All,
In one of my applications, i need to include UTF-8 character set for validation of a certain string, which I am validating using a Regex.
However, I do not know how to include UTF-8 characters in a Regex, or if at all, we can specify the UTF-8 charaters ina regex.
Please Help!! Its Urgent!!!
Thanks in Advance,
Rajat Aggarwal

Ok, Let me re-state my problem again, and exactly what i am looking for:
I have an XML file with the following header: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
This XML file contains a tag, whose text is to be validate for a syntax : Operand operator Operand.
Now, the operand on the right hand side of the operator could be a variable, or a string literal, which may contain some permissible special characters (as said above), and may or may not contain UTF-8 characters as well.
I am using the xerces SAXParser to parse the XML document, and am retrieving the text of the elemnt tag with the method <code>element.getChildText("<tagName>")<//code>
According to the org.jdom.Element API Docs,
the getChildText() method is defined as follows:
h3. getChildText{noformat}public java.lang.String getChildText(java.lang.String name){noformat}<dl><dd>Returns the textual content of the named child element, or null if there's no such child. This method is a convenience because calling <code>getChild().getText()</code> can throw a NullPointerException. <br<dd><dl><dt>Parameters: </dt><dd><code>name</code> - the name of the child </dd><dt>Returns: </dt><dd>text content for the named child, or null if no such child
</dd></dl></dd></dl>
Now, I am not sure if the String that I am reading is in UTF-8 Format. Is there any special way of reading a string in that format, or for that matter, convert a string to UTF-8 encoding?

Replace all special characters in a String with underscore

I have a String which contains some special characters even(!,$,@,*....).
I need to replace all the special characters with _ in my String. I do have an idea of using String.replace() and analogous forms, but I would be thankful if anyone can suggest me of a better and an efficient way.
regards,
fun_one

Kaj,
Thx for your earnest reply. I did have a peep into the API on this method. But the regular expression that I need to use here was beyond my understanding. It did specify some regex that I put to use (something like myString("\D","_"), assuming that I need to replace all non-digit characters ), but it really did not help me getting the result.
Would you spare some code for me reg. the usage of regular expressions in such a scenario?
cheers,

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 find the 'special characters' window

Hi,
Frequently I want to access the 'special characters' window, but when I click on the 'special characters' menu item the window does not appear. Sometimes I later find it on another screen (I use nine screens in Spaces), and sometimes can I see it on another screen using Expose, but when I go there it has disappeared. It seems a very fugitive tool, and in its way displays some cute, personality........ But I would love to know how to find it or to force it to appear on the same screen as the application from which I tried to open it!
all the best,
Jeremy Harbinson

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
I tried what you suggest - in the International section of the System Preferences there is a tab labelled 'input menu' and there is a check box (which is checked) titled 'Show input menu in Menu bar'. Unchecking that removes a national flag from the the menu bar, checking it restores that flag. So far, so good. If a click on the flag, a drop down menu appears with 'Hide character palette' as an item - clicking this changes it state to 'Show character palette' but clicking this (several times) changes nothing else that I can see,
all the best,
Jeremy
