How to send string with line feed to Agilent 33250A via COM1

Agilent 33250A is a function generator. In HPERTERMINAL, when "Send line ends with line feeds" is enabled, simple strings make it work well, such as: "APPLQU", "OUTPUT ON", etc...
But I can't make it work with .vi file. COM setting is correct because 33250A shows "remote" icon immediatly after string sent. It will respon "error" to any mismatched setting (e.g. 9600 vs 115200). So, the connection is there but it just doesn't respond to commands.
I don't know why. The termination character is enabled in .vi
I apprecite your help to make the .vi to send string just like the HYPERTERMINAL with 'line feeds'.
Thank you very much.

From what I can see it looks like you are NOT specifying what termination character you want to use when you call the serial port init.
When not otherwise specified, the port will be configured to use the default termination character which is a "carrige return" HEX 0A.
Try wiring a "Line Feed" constant to the init VI.

Converting strings with line feeds to a single line with identifying chars

Hi, I dont want to re invent the wheel if there is something out there that does this already. I want to take some string with multiple
line feeds and convert it to a single line. For example:
"I want this string
to be changed to
a single line"
to this...
"I want this string\r\n to be changed tor\\n a single line"

OK, Hope this will make better sense. So right now a I have a routine that loads files like below:
"TEST\r\n TEST1\R\n TEST2"It's not clear to me at this point what you mean by that string.
After the initial word TEST, does that string have a backslash character followed by an r followed by another backslash followed by an n? Or does it have a carriage return followed by a line feed. (\r followed by \n)
We format it when loading in a way that it will look like this when queriing from the DB
"TEST
TEST1
TEST2"It doesn't look like anything "when querying from the DB." That part doesn't make any sense.
Either the string has a backslash followed by an r, in which case when you render in in a text editor or on a console it will look like a single line with a visible backslash character followed by an r, or it has a carriage return (\r) in which case it will look like multiple lines when rendered in a text editor or on a console.
Later I re-extract it to a file from the DB and What confuses me is when I inspect the string it looks like this
"TEST\r\n TEST1\R\n TEST2"How are you inspecting it? If it's in a debugger or similar tool, it's not uncommon for it to be showing a carriage return character (\r) as a visible backslash followed by an r, rather than interpreting it and rendering a new line. This is so that you can see exactly what characters are in there, rather than wondering about the specific whitespace.

but it extracts to my file like
"TEST
TEST1
TEST2"
So I guess there are some hidden cr's or something messing it up that I need to manipulate but not sure how to apprach it?I still don't know what you're trying to do, or if you even have an actual problem with your data or are simply not understanding what you're seeing.

Hi Rio,
I faced similar kind of issue working with files on UNIX platform.
The line is a line feed to remove it use
DATA : lv_carr_linefd TYPE abap_cr_lf VALUE cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf.
DATA : lv_carr_return TYPE char1,
         lv_line_feed   TYPE char1.
lv_line_feed   = lv_carr_linefd(1).
lv_carr_return = lv_carr_linefd+1(1).
Note: IMP: The character in ' ' is not space but is a special
character set by pressing ALT and +255 simultaneosly
REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF lv_line_feed IN l_string WITH ' '.
REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF lv_carr_return IN l_string WITH ' '.

How can an external table handle data with line feed between delimiters?

I have defined an external table as below. My data is pipe delimited and comes from a DOS system.
I already remove any carriage returns before putting the file into the DATA_DIR for reading. But
I have found that some of my VARCHAR fields have embeded line feeds.
Is it possible to have a definition that would remove any line feed characters between the delimiters?
Below I also threw together a sample data set there ID #2 has that extra character. Yes, I could
write an awk script to pre-process all my data files. But I am hoping there is a way for Oracle
to also do this.
I understand the LDTRIM to remove any leading and trailing spaces in the delimited field. Is there a
REPLACE or TRANSLATE option. I did a bit of searching but I must be asking the wrong things.
Thanks for any help

Thanks for looking. But that relates to the record delimiter which in my case is the pipe character '|'. In my various data sets this is consistent. I expect each record to be one per line. But between two delimiters some data has a line feed. So I'm looking for a method that will "cleanup" the field data as it gets imported.
I was hoping there was an option that would ignore any embedded line feeds (\n) characters. I.e., those not at the end of the line.

Problems uploading a text file with line feed characters from Windows

Hi,
I am using the FM GUI_UPLOAD to load a text file in which at the end of each line there is a line feed character. When I upload the file, the FM interprets the entire file as ONE record; it does not recognize the line feed character at the end of each file line. I am using the parameter in the FM "HAS_FIELD_SEPARATOR" and it does not do anything to remidiate this issue.
The funny thing is that WS_upload works like a charm and it separates every line in the text file according to the line feed character at the end of each file line.
Why a FM that is obsolete would work better and with less effort than the new one? We are on 4.6c and will go to ECC6.0 May 2009.
Can anybody recommenced a way to process this type of file using GUI_upload?
The file to process is downloaded from a bank Website into a Windows PC. Sending the file to Unix first is not an option.
Thanks,
Pierre Martinez

Hi,
I have done that and Notepad does NOT interpret the line feed character. The file looks all messed up. Notepad does NOT split the data into records. The Hex character at the end of each file line is 0A.
The user will download the file into a Windows desktop from the bank's website and from there an ABAP program needs to read it and parse it. But the ABAP program can not even catch the entire file with gui_upload. WS_upload can catch it with no issues.
I tried catching the file into an internal table of data type string using GUI_upload, but it only catches two bytes of the file and nothing else.
I will try catching the file in some other type of data type for the internal table in gui_upload.
Once I catch it, I can split the file by the line feed character. I need to catch it first, but "my glove" is not big enough. Defining the internal table for the gui_upload as character is a guessing game since I really do not know how big the text file is since GUI_upload will put it in a one record.
Thanks.

Mail attachment generated in UDF in SAP PI 7.1 - Issue with line feed

Hello,
Situation is:
Implemented a scenario in SAP PI 7.1 with a mail receiver following this thread:
/people/samuel.chandrasekaran2/blog/2008/10/06/xi-mail-adapter-dynamically-building-attachment-and-message-body-content-using-a-simple-udf
which is about moving message lines from sender into an attachment forn the receiver mail.
It is working great!
The receiver gets the mail including the attachment with all added lines.
But when opening this mail there is an issue depending on the program we are using to open the attachment
which is defined as txt file
- Using MS Editor 5.1 (Windows XP 2007, SP3) the Carriage returns and line feeds (added with
in the UDF) to separate the message lines are not recognized. In the Editor each
    is shown as □   within the text. Word wrap (flag set in the editor) is different to the carriage return/line feeds set in the file.
- Using MS Notepad 5.1 (Windows XP 2007, SP3)   situation is the same but
    is NOT shown as □ , it simply seems to be unvisible. Word wrap (flag set in the editor) is different to the carriage return/line feeds set in the file.
- Using Word 2007 the carriage returns are recognized and used in a correct way to display the file content. But now mutated vowels (äüö) are not recognized. They are displayed as
So I followed this thread:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/96/f04142099eb76be10000000a155106/content.htm
Nice....
In the editors there is no change, but when opening the file in Word it asks now how to convert the file content
(proposing UTF-8) and Word recognizes mutual vowels.
But there seems to be a side effect....
Following the second link, PI recognizes an error.
This is the error message.
MP: exception caught with message Null as XI message received (PrincipalData in ModulData is null)
Adapter Framework caught exception: Null as XI message received (PrincipalData in ModulData is null)
Delivering the message to the application using connection Mail_http://sap.com/xi/XI/System failed, due to: com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessagingException: java.lang.Exception: Null as XI message received (PrincipalData in ModulData is null).
But the message is sent to the mail recipient which could be ok if PI would not repeat the mail sending now for several times.
So we will receive not one but a number of mails.
So we removed the modul recommended in this help link from the channel.
Result: Behaviour in Word changed now to the described one. But the errors are no longer coming up in channel monitoring incl. message send repetition. So this is a first success. But the partner wants to process the files first with one of the named editors. So we are looking for another solution now to fix the last issue!
Your ideas are really welcome!

Hi,
as I found this in wikipedia:
Another common problem is the use of '\n' when communicating using an Internet protocol that mandates the use of ASCII CR+LF for ending lines. Writing '\n' to a text mode stream works correctly on Windows systems, but produces only LF on Unix, and something completely different on more exotic systems. Using "\r\n" in binary mode is slightly better, as it works on many ASCII-compatible systems, but still fails in the general case. One approach is to use binary mode and specify the numeric values of the control sequence directly, "\x0D\x0A".
Back to my issue:
In the UDF I am adding "\r\n" but only the "\n" seems to survive!
In Mapping test line feeds are available and the lines are shown as expected.
Using Notepad ++ to open the created txt file from the mail shows that LF is in the file at each end of line but CR is missing.
CR is only at the end of the last line in the file and is not from the UDF that creates the mail or the UDF that creates the attachment lines. Seems that this is added somewhere else behind the mapping.
This is what I found in galileo computing
(http://www.galileocomputing.de/glossar/gp/anzeige-11241/FirstLetter-Z, SORRY, only available in german language!):
In Parsing of XML-Documents the XML-Parser changes the end of line delimiter internally in general to a simple line feed (LF, #0A) as usual in UNIX. ..... In Windows this could result in problems with readability of source texts (e.g. in Notepad) which can be solved by choosing the right editor.
My target application is on Windows and not able to "choose" the right editor (PI system is on windoes OS too) !
But Im wondering where the CR at the end of the text comes from when all the \r\n will be replaced with \n as described.
Ideas are really welcome!
Best regards
Dirk

Not Sure How To Send String

I'm totally new to trying to network using Java and extremely poor at networking in general so bear with me here.
I'm trying to make a top down shooter and currently the application allows the user to either play as host or connect to a host but all the network communication handling I'm doing involves creating strings, sending them along the connection and interpreting the strings on their reciept.
The problem I'm having is I keep getting an unexpected end of file exception when it tries to read in the string.
I used a basic IM application as an example of how to connect and send info in Java, which is where I got the idea to use in.readUTF and out.writeUTF to send string information but upon looking into this problem it seems to me that read/writeUTF is not really designed for strings and there should be something else I should use instead but I'm not sure what?
Also I'm using this to communicate point information of each player and as I understand it I should be using TCP to do this as that was what the example I'm using said it used. Though I think it might be more useful to use UDP as it's faster and it shouldn't matter if I drop a packet or two, though I'm not sure where in my code it specifies a difference between the two and if that really is the best idea.
Here's a zip of my netbeans project, though be warned it's VERY messy, probably the messiest code I've ever written, not to mention hacky as well: http://rapidshare.com/files/369943023/KerazehDood.zip
Any help would be great.
Thanks.

Thanks that seems to make much more sense, still having some troubles though.
Ok so now the majority of it seems to be working and it seems to be sending the String just fine. And I'm having it send the String to the BufferedWriter "out" and then using the newLine() method to send a carriage return but the BufferedReader on "in" seems to not detect the carriage return.
I have it doing a readLine() so that (as I understand it) it should be blocking, waiting until an end of line character so I assume each call of newLine() should have it pick up something but a quick breakpoint shows that it never stops blocking on readLine().
I assume the connection is fine because the application running as server uses the socket object returned by the accept() method.
Is there something I've perhaps misunderstood about the BufferedReader's readLine() method?
Here's the new version of my netbeans project:
http://rapidshare.com/files/371224512/KerazehDood.rar
Also on a different line of questioning, I'm just wondering about socket convention.
I was thinking it'd be useful in a game similar to what I'm attempting to make to not only send player position information but also client keypress information, I was just wondering, if you're doing something like that would it be frowned upon to use two separate ports? I think it would make the implementation far more legible and easy to structure but wasn't sure if applications usually try to stick to only one port or not.
Thanks.

How to put String with html tags as it is into xml

I am using apache dom API to create xml from java.
I have a string with html tags in it .when I add the string to xml, its replacing all the "<"; with &lt and ">" with > I would like the html tags to look as it is instead of the > and & lt;. How can I acheive that
this is the code snippet of what I am doing
In java class
String titleString = "This Is an Example of a Red Subject"
Document doc = new DocumentImpl();
Element root = doc.createElement("bulletin");
Element item = doc.createElement("title");
item.appendChild(doc.createTextNode(titleString));
In Xml it looks like below
<title>This Is an Example of a Red Subject</title>
but I would like to have the xml like below
<title>This Is an Example of a Red Subject</title>
Can you please suggest me whats the best way to acheive this.
I appreciate all your help
Thank you
Suma

One problem is that you don't understand escaping. If you re-read what you posted you'll see that what you say you get, and what you say you want, are identical. That's because you didn't escape one of the two properly. So your first step should be to find the section about escaping in Chapter 1 of your XML book and read it carefully. Figure out what you should have done here (yes, the same rules apply).
However, to attempt to answer what I think your question is: if you have a String which contains markup, and you want to convert that String to XML elements, then you have to feed the String into an XML parser.

Working with line feed, carriege return, tab etc in JSP web layout

Hi guys,
After looking at an old thread
line feed, carriege return, tab etc in JSP web layout
I think I am experiencing the same problem here and I'm struggling to implement the solution, mainly because I am a complete newbie at jsp reports (and most things webby).
1) Can I add the code following code directly to the web source? If not then how do I find the css file being used?
table pre {
overflow-x: auto; /* Use horizontal scroller if needed; for Firefox 2, not needed in Firefox 3 */
white-space: pre-wrap; /* css-3 */
white-space: -moz-pre-wrap !important; /* Mozilla, since 1999 */
/* width: 99%; */
word-wrap: break-word; /* Internet Explorer 5.5+ */
2) I'm not sure how to set the width to be same as the width of the table cell.
Here's the web source and thanks very much in advance!

The solution in the original post was:
set the
width to be same as the width of the table cell
add following class to css file
table pre {
overflow-x: auto; /* Use horizontal scroller if needed; for Firefox 2, not needed in Firefox 3 */
white-space: pre-wrap; /* css-3 */
white-space: -moz-pre-wrap !important; /* Mozilla, since 1999 */
/* width: 99%; */
word-wrap: break-word; /* Internet Explorer 5.5+ */
But I dont have a css file ... can I just add this to the web source and if so where?
