Illegal character in path

Hello,
Im getting this error while initializing adobe livecycle in websphere:
Illegal character in path at index 16: file:/C:/Program Files/somepath/LiveCycle Content Services.ear/contentservices.war/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/alfresco-jmxrmi.password
Anyone got this error?
thank you

Thank you for everyone's feedback.
I figured it out, I had the path in my Application Server-> JVM Settings -> Path Settings -> Classpath Suffix.
Once I removed the path and restarted Sun Java System Application Server 8.2 the error went away.
Thanks,
--Todd

Unable to run project: illegal character in path - Flash Catalyst CS5.5

Environment is a new install of Windows 7 x64 on a new Dell workstation in an Active Directory environment. Until fall of last year, we used redirected folders for the Application Data folders until issues with Adobe Reader 9.x forced us to abandon that and we reconfigured our network not to use redirected folders. We have not experienced any issues and all programs are using the Application Data folder on the local machines.
Just installed Adobe Master Collection on a new workstation and all Adobe applications are using the C:\Users\cballew\AppData\Roaming\Adobe folder including Flash Catalyst. However, when I try to Run Project in Catalyst, it created a folder named Application Data using the network path to where we used to store the Application Data folder and is saving its workspace there. No other programs (including Adobe products) are doing this. Any ideads of how to fix it?
Error message:

Can anyone tell me where the variable @user.home is defined and whether I can change it or not? I might find that some of the other applications might experience this same issue

Illegal character error on good filename

I created a new RoboHelp project and tried to insert a graphic named Timeline.jpg. I got the following error:
Unable to rename file, "Timeline.jpg".
The filename contains illegal characters.
I tried inserting a graphic that I had used in a previous RoboHelp project and got the same error. Then I opened a previous RoboHelp project and was able to successfully insert the Timeline.jpg graphic into that project.
I'm on Windows XP and RoboHelp 8. I would really like to avoid having to re-install RoboHelp, but I'm not sure where to look to troubleshoot this error message. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Sorry that I wasn't more specific in reporting my solution.
I cannot say that the deletion RB7 helped because I had done that before making my other changes. Another website that I had visited suggested that Robo sometimes has a problem when a previous version still exists, so I can't say that removing it solved the problem.
Previously, all the project files were in a folder on my desktop, several layers deep. BeforeI upgraded to v.208 I did not have a problem inserting images and I never got the "illegal character name" or "cannot rename" errors. AfterI upgraded the problems began. BTW, I had checked the file path back to the image locations to make sure there were no spaces, illegal file names, etc. So I knew the errors were bogus.
After the upgrade I also noticed that all of the images I had previously inserted remained viewable in Preview Topic, but ALL of the images disappeared when I looked at the project after compilation. At that time I was able to insert new images by saving them to the Gallery folder of RB8. Perhaps I may have been able to insert them from another, nearby folder...I don't know.
AfterI deleted RB7 I figured, heck, why not make everything clean and simple and copy the whole project from the desktop folder to a new folder in the root of "C." When I re-opened the project everything was okay - back to normal.
If I can suggest anything from my experience it would be that clean, simple directory structures are what RB-8.208 likes most and if you get too far away from RB's project folders you may get similar errors.
Hope this helps, and thanks again for your assistance!

System.ArgumentException: Illegal characters in path. When Processing More than 1 lakh records.

Hi ALL,
I am Having a trouble with processing the files using c# language. as it's giving the error saying that Illegal character into the path.
although i am using below regular expression for checking and removing the illegal character by another method.
Regex pattern = new Regex("\\/:*?\"<>|");
Some of the records are being processed correctly that means , records are being fetched from the database and written to the file system correctly by using BinaryWriter class.
Can anybody help me for this error to resolve.
Note:- There are more than 1 lakh records to be processed.

Hi Michael Taylor,
I have used the log4net to catch the errors while my loop was
continuing till the end of the processing of those many records.
Also System.IO.Path.GetFileName(filename) was throwing the error ,
so i have check the filename with regular expression and replace illegal character from there and then
call the System.IO.Path.GetFileName(filename) method.
i have use Regex illegalInFileName = new Regex(@"[\\/:*?""<>|]");
this regular expression to replace illegal character.

Find and print illegal character in a string using regexp

I have the following simple regexp that checks for illegal characters in a string:
String regexp = ".*([\\[\\];]+|@).*"; // illegal: [ ] ; @
String input = "Testing [ 123";
System.out.println(Pattern.matches(regexp, input));How can I find and print the character that is invalid??
I've tried using the Matcher class togheter with Pattern but cant get it to work. :(
Like this:
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(regexp);
Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(input);
matcher.lookingAt();
int matchedChar = matcher.end();
if (matchedChar < input.length()) {
String illegalCharFound = String.valueOf(input.charAt(matcher.end()));
System.out.println(illegalCharFound);
}What am I doing wrong?

1. You call lookingAt(), but you don't check its return value, so you don't know if the regex actually matched.
2. matcher.end() returns the index of the character following whatever was matched, assuming there was a match (if there wasn't, it will throw an exception). So either it will point to a legal character, or you'll get a StringIndexOutOfBoundsException because an illegal character was found at the end of the input. The start() method would be a better choice, but...
3. Your regex can match multiple consecutive square brackets or semicolons (and why not put the at-sign in the character class, too?), but you're acting like it can only match one character. Even if there is only one character, group(1) is an easier way to extract it. Also, if there are more than one (non-consecutive) illegal characters, your regex will only find the last one. That's because the first dot-star initially gobbles up the whole input, then backtracks only as far as it has to to satisfy the rest of the regex. If your goal is to provide feedback to whoever supplied the input, it's going to be pretty confusing feedback. You should probably use the find() method in a loop to pick out all the illegal characters so you can report them properly.

Can't get past Illegal character 3

Hello all. I can't get past Illegal Character 3 in JavaScript code. I think everything is closed off how it should be. Any ideas? Thanks.

Ok, I did the quotes (hopefully right) but now the SyntaxError changed to: missing ; before statement 3: at line 4.
Here's the code (sorry for not adding earlier).
var msgAddress = "[email protected]";
var msgSubject = "New Agent: " + getField("Name2").value;
var msgBody = "The information is:""\r\nName:" + Name2.value + "\r\nEmail:" + Email2.value + "\r\nCell:" + CellPhone2.value + "\r\nDate of birth:" + DateOfBirth2.value;
this.submitForm({cURL: "mailto:" + msgAddress + "?subject=" + escape(msgSubject) + "&body=" + escape(msgBody)});

[java]compiling .java at runtime...illegal character: \0

i have an RMI method call that receives a string with the name of the file and an array of bytes that contains the file.
this method has to save the file,compile it if it's a .java or run it directly is it's a .class
the file arrives completely,but in compiling it i get an error telling there's an illegal character inside,which is ' \0 '
isn't that suposed to be the end of the file?..if i print the file on my linux shell with the "more" command,the character doesn't come out either,do you have an idea about how could i get it out from there?..

Illegal character in Auth-Header

Hi,
I am trying to send a SOAP Message from a HCP Application to a Webservice from Cloud for Customer.
The request uses basic authentication.
My problem now is, that I get a SOAP Exception saying that there is a illegal character in the auth header.
Illegal character(s) in message header value: Basic
After searching in google I think that there is a new line character at the end of the credentials which causes
the error and this seems to be a bug in a library from sun. However I use the apache implementation of the
Base64 class and I tested whether there is such a new line character but everything is alright.
If I run it as a local Java application every works fine and the request is successful but in the cloud environment
I always get this error.
Does anyone face the same issue or know a resolution to this problem?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance and best regards
Felix

Hi ejp,
It's a rsa public, the usercert.pem looks like below,
so since it's not an x509 certificate not sure if I
can read it using a
java.security.cert.CertificateFactory?
Basically I just want to print the public and private
key out as a String. Any help is appreciated.

Illegal character \92 error.Tried everything

Hi, Im trying to make a calculator program and in the line where I divide a by b, im getting an Illegal Character:\92 error for some reason. To type \ im using \\ as an escape character, and it seems to work earlier in the program with no problem.
Heres the code:
import java.io.*;
public class PA83 //Simple calc
    public void calculator()
        try
            InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(System.in);
            BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);
            System.out.println("Enter number 1");
            double a = ((double) br.readLine());
            System.out.println("Enter number 2");
            double b = ((double) br.readLine());
            System.out.println("1.Add\n2.Subtract a-b\n3.Subtract b-a\n4.Multiply\n5.Divide a\\b\n6.Divide b\\a\n7.Quit");
            int c = Integer.parseInt(br.readLine());
            switch(c)
                case 1:System.out.println(a+"+"+b+" = "+(a+b));
                break;
                case 2:System.out.println(a+"-"+b+" = "+(a-b));
                break;
                case 3:System.out.println(b+"-"+a+" = "+(b-a));
                break;
                case 4:System.out.println(a+"x"+b+" = "+(a*b));
                break;
                case 5:System.out.println(a+"\\"+b+" = "+(a\b));
                break;
                case 6:System.out.println(b+"\\"+a+" = "+(b\a));
                break;
                case 7:break;
                case default:System.out.println("Invalid Option. Please select a number from 1-6");
                break;
        catch(Exception e)
            System.out.println("Error: "+e.getMessage());
}              It highlights case 5 and gives me an illegal character:\92 error, but ive used the double slashes(\\) earlier in the println to choose an option without any problem there.
I dont understand why this is happening! Even if i remove the "\\" i get the same error , and as BlueJ suggested, i tried typing the line again to avoid some invisible character causing problems..

Hi,
I think we use "/" for division and not "\" .
thanks & regards,
Manoj

Can't run - Illegal charakter in path at index 60

Hi,
i'm not able to run my catalyst projekts from the predefined worskspace.
Error Message:
Illegal charakter in path at index 60:
file://///////Servername-Server1/RedirectedFolders/username/Application Data/Adobe/Flash Catalyst/Workspace/Project/bin-debug/Main.html
Servername and username are no special characters except for "-" in servername. I can't change my windows7 home-directory because we run a Small-Business Server 2008 with folder redirection. Is there some kind of workaround by changing the workspace of catalyst manually (some ini file or something like that)?
Publishing a swf into a folder like c:\ does work - but thats not really practical.
Thanks.

This problem popped up previously in this thread.
I will PM you with a more technical solution.

Error in Add/Replace Bulk Load component - illegal character in XML

Has anyone ever seen the bulk load component complain about some illegal character in xml? I see this error and not sure what exactly the problem is:
ERROR [SocketReader] - Received error message from server: Character is not legal in XML 1.0
It's a very simple graph - reading data from clover data file and ingesting it straight into Endeca using the out of the box bulk load component.
Thanks for your help!

Assuming you are on EID 2.3, this transformation will apply the fix to all your string fields and print on your console the fields that had non-compliant XML 1.0 characters.
//#CTL2
string[] fields;
// Transforms input record into output record.
function integer transform() {
     $out.0.* = $in.0.*;
     for(integer i = $in.0.length() - 1; i >=0 ; i--) {
          if (getFieldType($in.0.*, i) == "string" && getFieldType($out.0.*, i) == "string") {
               if (!isNull($in.0.*, i)) {
                    string originalValue = getStringValue($in.0.*, i);
                    string newValue = originalValue.replace("([^\\u0009\\u000a\\u000d\\u0020-\\uD7FF\\uE000-\\uFFFD]|[\\u0092\\u007F]+)","");
                    if (originalValue != newValue) {
                         fields[i] = getFieldName($in.0, i);
                    setStringValue($out.0.*, i, newValue);
     return OK;
// Called during component initialization.
// function boolean init() {}

     printErr("Fields with non-compliant XML 1.0 characters");
     for(integer i = 0; i < fields.length(); i++) {
          if (fields[i] != null) {
               printErr(fields);
