Identifying Czech characters in an instance

We are trying to identify czech characters in a database instance, to move them into another instance. Kindly let us know how can we do it?
We are trying to do using ascii values... please share your ideas if any.

I don't have 10g to hand, but you can do this without regular expressions.
For name_column it would be
select name_column from my_table
where replace(name_column,substr(name_column,1,1)) is null;Of course you wouldn't even need the second part if you weren't working with a incorrectly designed database - dates should always be stored as dates and then 99/99/9999 couldn't even get into the database, but for some reason people keep doing this to themselves.
select fake_date from my_table
where replace(fake_date,substr(fake_date,1,1).'*') = '**/**/****';

Issue with Czech characters in PDFs generated from RSTXPDFT4

Hi,
We have a requirement to generate PDF documents from the spool of the Billing document outputs in our project.
For this we are using the standard program RSTXPDFT4, which converts the SAP script OTF to PDF format.
But the Czech characters in the billing document output are not getting displayed in the PDF generated out of it.
We are already using a device type I2HP4 when creating the print request , which supports Latin-2 Character set ( ISO 8859-2 ), to which the special characters
of East European languages belong.
Even then , the czech characters are not getting displayed in the PDF generated.
We have raised a message to SAP for this, and SAP informed us that currently the only solution to this is to use Latin 2 soft fonts,
and to upload these soft fonts into R/3 System using report RSTXPDF2 as they contain the Eastern European special characters plus all the other characters in ISO 8859-2.
But, since character font definitions (font files) are protected by copyrights, SAP informed us that they cannot provide these font files and we have to acquire
these latin-2 font files by searching in search engines in the internet.
If anyone has the information where we can get these "Adobe type 1 Latin-2" font files with '.PFB' extension, for the proper display of Czech characters, please let me know.

Hi,
Did you or anyone manage to find a reasonable solution for this issue?
I'm currently facing something similar but with Polish characters instead.
I tried using RSTXPDF2 to upload .PFB and .TTF files but to no avail.

Send purchase order via email (external send) with special Czech characters

Hi all,
I am sending a purchase order created with ME21N via email to the vendor using "external send".
The mail is delivered without any problems, PO is attached to the mail as PDF file.
Problem is that special Czech characters as "ž" or "u0161" are not displayed, a "#" (hash) appears instead.
This problem occurs when language for PO output = EN.
Tests with language = CS worked out fine, but the whole form incl. all texts are in Czech as well; so no valid solution since it needs to be in English.
We checked SAPCONNECT configuration and raised note 665947; this is working properly.
When displaying the PO (ME23N) special characters are shown correctly as well.
Could you please let me know how to proceed with that issue?!
Thanks.
Florian

Hi!
No, it's not a Unicode system.
It is maintained as:
Tar. Lang. Lang. Output Format Dev. type
Format
PDF EN English PDF1
Using this option, character "ž" was not displayed correctly, but "Ú" was ok.
All other Czech special characters are not tested so far.
Thanks,
Florian

Czech characters encoding problem in RTFTemplate with Velocity engine

Hi,
I am trying to use your RTFTemplate project but I have trouble displaying Czech characters in the generated RTF document. Instead of characters like �čř� I get only questionmarks ????. I thought that this could be related to setting a wrong encoding in the velocity.properties file, so I set it to windows-1250 (support for Czech characters) but it didn�t help. Do you have any idea, what could be the problem? If this is not the right place to ask such question, please let me know about a better one.
Thank you for your time,
Ivo Jansky

Hi Jason,
Indeed I had contacted the provider and informed them about the encoding problem and the fact that passing the parameter http_content_charset had no effect on the sent back encoding.
They have taken into account my request and have changed the encoding used during the request to the HOOK_URL.
Thanks to all of your for your help.
Regards,
Jerome.

Czech characters not visible in TOAD

Hello, I cannot see these special czech characters when use TOAD but yes when use SQL Developer.
In database settings are==>SELECT * from NLS_database_PARAMETERS:
*NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET==>AL16UTF16
*NLS_LANGUAGE==>GERMAN
*NLS_CHARACTERSET==>WE8MSWIN1252
In my computer, Registry entries for Oracle0 is GERMAN_GERMANY.EE8MSWIN1250
What's wrong? Why cannot I see these characters in TOAD? I tried to use Arial, Arial Unicode but it never shows the real characters.
Thanks!

What is the definition of the relevant char column? (desc tablename)
*NLS_CHARACTERSET==>WE8MSWIN1252Note that the character (win 1252) set does not define characters such as c, d, e, n, r, t with hacek/caron diacritical mark (e.g. ř, Ť). The lack in character repertoire may be a problem depending on how Toad retrieves nchar columns (if applicable). So this may be a (non-oracle) app specific issue!

Not able to produce some Czech characters in pdf using java.

Hi All,
I am not able to produce some Czech characters like ě and č in pdf using java. Can you please guide me what could be the cause. The characters are coded in properties file and its just neglecting č and ě and taking other character next to it.
we have used below code to display the characters but its also not working..first we thought its font issue since Helvetica dont come by default in windows but after putting helvetica font also we are not able to produce the characters.
BaseFont baseFont = BaseFont.createFont(BaseFont.HELVETICA, BaseFont.CP1250, false);
Font fontStyle = new Font(baseFont, 12, Font.NORMAL, Color.BLACK);

baftos wrote:
4th paragraph at http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/Properties.html explains it.
Note also that Java 6 allows you to produce properties files in encodings other than ISO-8859-1, provided you load them via a reader with a matching encoding. (Also see that link posted by baftos.) This might be more practical then the Unicode encoding which was required in earlier versions of Java.

Application Hudba (Music) problem with Czech characters

Polish and Czech characters not displaying

Hi Experts,
I have to display the characters in Polish and Czech in adobe reader XI. Currently the text displays in unreadable format. Can anyone please help how this can be rectified?
Thanks
Tridib

Hi Tridib_Das,
You have to download the Reader font pack to get this working. Try to download the pack from this location, see if that works: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4885

XMLConnector with Czech characters in the URL

I'm writing a game that use the XMLConnector object to bring local xml data into a DataSet object. My URL is, for example: data/quiz.xml. I have everything working well. But I'm localizing my game for Czech and Russian and when the game is installed to a path with Czech specific (high ascii) characters, the data import fails. This is strange because the relative path (data/quiz.xml) doesn't change. For example, my Czech install path contains the partial path: Vyšetřit Bobíčka. If I just use normal English characters for this, I don't have a problem. The swf is an embedded sprite in a Director game, but I don't think this is relevant.
I looked into using fl.mapPlayerURL to format the path as UTF-8 but it doesn't look like this is the solution. Another thing I thought of would be embed the xml data inside Flash and copy it to a temp folder when needed. I'm using AS2.
Any solutions or suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Brian

I've already solved this with Valentin's help. I just convert the full XML
file path to a DOS 8.3 path with baShortFileName and pass that to the Flash
sprite. It could be that CS4 or another work around will fix it also.
Barring a complete rewrite, the XML files need to be external. That's the
way the Flash object works as far as I know.
Thanks,
Brian

Identify special characters that are not supported by an embeded font

Hi!
I'm useing embeded fonts as CFF in my flex 4.5.1 application and I have problems with the special charcters like Ă, Â, Î, Ș, Ț or arabic text, that are not included in my embeded font. This are displayed in my RichEditableTect component useing the default font (Arial).
Is there any way to block the user when he tries to add such characters?
Or can I identify them before saveing , in order to format the text like <Text Font="ExoticFont"...>Hello<Text font-family="Arial">ë</Text></Text> ?

I think you want to use Font.hasGlyphs. If you are using the @font-face directive it is hard to get to the Font class so you may wish to switch to using the directive.

Corrupt Czech characters in Table of Contents

Hi everyone.
I am working on a pretty big help project in Czech. This is not something I started from scratch, I took it over from a colleague who left our company recently, so I don't know much about how it was done.
The project is made of 3 components, resulting in 3 CHMs which are then copied in the same folder with another CHM using some sort of algorithm.
Once all these files (4 CHMs in total) are copied in a software's Help folder, they are displayed as a single component when you clic the Help button in the software - meaning you see a complete TOC with chapters from all 3 files).
The problem is, when I compile the individual CHMs, I get the message "HTML help settings has unsupported characters for the chosen language. Do you want to continue?"
If I continue, the file is compiled and when I open it, the TOC looks ok. However, when I copy it with the other files and open it in the software (a CAD type program) some characters are replaced with someting else:
I am using Robo Help 10 and the font in the files is Verdana. I read on another thread that the font might be the problem, but I don't know how to change it in all the files (except perhaps from Internet Options in the chm directly?)
My regional settings are also set to Czech when I compile the file, so there shouldn't be a problem. However, every time I compile, I get that message and corrupt characters are displayed in the software's Help.
Can anyone help with this?
Thanks in advance.
Christina

I'm using RH 9.
From my experience figuring out character issues like this can sometimes more of an art than a science. That's what it seems like anyway.
Some issues at play can be:
Desktop language for non-unicode programs should match the output - From Control Panel, in the Region and Language dialog box, on the Administrative tab, make sure the language for non-unicode programs is set to the target language.
RoboHelp language settings - Under File | Project Settings, ensure you've set the Language in RH to Czech for all the projects. In addition, in the Single Source Layouts pod, right-click on the output and choose Properties and in the Language drop down, make sure it's set to Czech.
Character encoding in the file itself - Open the file (in this case .hhc) inside of a text editor like Notepad++ and from the Encoding menu, check its character encoding. From experience, this should be set to Encode in UTF-8 or Encode in UTF-8 without BOM.
Character encoding in the XML tag - Also in Notepad++, check the encoding in the first <?xml ...> tag in line 1. From my hhc file we translated into Czech, it's set to <xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Identifying repeating characters in an expression

I'm using 10g and am trying to come up with a regular expression that will allow me to identify strings that have repeating characters... e.g. in the Name field, I want to identify all rows where the value is "AAAAAA", "BBBB" - basically, just a set of repeating values. Similarly, for birthdate, I want to identify dates that might look like '99/99/9999' or '88/88/8888'... is there a regular expression I can build for this?
Help is greatly appreciated.

I don't have 10g to hand, but you can do this without regular expressions.
For name_column it would be
select name_column from my_table
where replace(name_column,substr(name_column,1,1)) is null;Of course you wouldn't even need the second part if you weren't working with a incorrectly designed database - dates should always be stored as dates and then 99/99/9999 couldn't even get into the database, but for some reason people keep doing this to themselves.
select fake_date from my_table
where replace(fake_date,substr(fake_date,1,1).'*') = '**/**/****';

Identify special characters in oracle 9i

HI,
I want to identify the special characters in a table.Right now i am using oracle 9i version.
Please help us.

You can use following pl/sql block for this purpose. It will check if there is any special character in a field(item description here) and will display that display the position and ascii value of that special character. Later you can write another query(if needed) to remove those special characters.
Modify the query as needed.
declare
l_desc VARCHAR2(90);
l_length NUMBER;
l_cnt NUMBER := 1;
l_char VARCHAR2(20);
l_spc_char NUMBER := 0;
CURSOR c1 is select segment1, description, length(description) length1 from mtl_system_items_b where 1=1 rownum < 10000 and segment1 = '00000942304A330'
and organization_id = 156;
begin
FOR c_rec IN C1
LOOP
l_cnt := 1;
l_spc_char := 0;
WHILE l_cnt <= c_rec.length1
LOOP
l_char := SUBSTR(c_rec.description,l_cnt,1);
IF (ascii(l_char) < 32 or ascii(l_char) > 126) then
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Character: '||l_char||' Position: '||l_cnt||' Ascii Value: '||ascii(l_char));
l_spc_char := l_spc_char + 1;
end if;
l_cnt := l_cnt + 1 ;
END LOOP;
IF l_spc_char > 0 THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Item: '||c_rec.segment1||' Description: '||c_rec.description);
END IF;
END LOOP;
end;
