"Incompatible line delimiter near index"
G’day
I’m doing a search and replace of \t\r\n, replacing it with just \r\n. CFB says to me "Incompatible line delimiter near index", in red, down the bottom of the Find/Replace dialogue.
What does that mean?
Also, if I click the Help icon next to the message, I just get "The context help for this user interface element could not be found".
Adam
You're trying to use \n instead of \r\n in the replace.
I got it when I matched:
\n\t*foo
in order to match the whitespace formatting in my source code. The fix for me was to use
\r\n\t*foo instead.

PatternSyntaxException: Dangling meta character '*' near index 0
Hi,
I am using DocumentFilter to control the input in a JtextField In accordance with model of a mask.
The mask can contain the following characters:
// # : for =---> NUMBER only
// ? : for =---> LETTER only
// A : for =---> LETTER end for NUMBER
// * : for =---> ANYTHING I made a class that extends DocumentFilter and it look like this:
public class MydocumentFilter extends DocumentFilter {
public void insertString(...){
// do anything
} // insertString()
public void remove(...)
// do anything
} // remove()
@Override
public void replace(
DocumentFilter.FilterBypass fb,
int offset, // posizione del cursore
int length, // Length of text to delete (solo per sostituzioni...)
String text,// testo da inserire
AttributeSet attrs) throws BadLocationException {
// here are some controls that change the value of the text variable, and at last call the super class..:
super.replace(fb, offset, length, text.replaceAll(text, replace), attrs);
} // replace()
} // class MydocumentFilterI have a problem when the user write wildcards (='*' OR '?').
Then I get the message:
Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.util.regex.PatternSyntaxException: Dangling meta character '*' near index 0.I know that '*' and “?” are is a metachars and for that I added this code before calling super.replace(...);

replace = "\\*";
}but I don't get the expected result. I get -\*- instead then -*-

Angelo MoreschiniAll that many lines for a regex question (where the error message already pointed to), which has nothing to do with Swing. An SSCCE looks different.
if (text.compareTo("*") == 0){
replace = "\\*";
text = replace;
super.replace(fb, offset, length, text.replaceAll(text, replace), attrs);You must keep the text, the regex and the replacement string apart:
String text= "A", regEx= "A", rep= "B";
//String text= "*", regEx="\\*", rep= "*";
text= text.replaceAll(regEx, rep);
System.out.println(text);And why don't you use a JFormattedTextField with a MaskFormatter which does all the job for you. -
PatternSyntaxException: Unclosed character class near index
Hi,
I want to replace in a string a expression like "^1:2" by "^(1/2)":
For example, "V/Hz^1:2" would be converted to "V/Hz^(1/2)".
I tried the following code:
String oldExponent = "[^](\\d+):(\\d+)"; // e.g. ^1:2
String newExponent = "^($1/$2)"; // e.g. ^(1/2)
myString = myString.replaceAll(oldExponent, newExponent);but the following exception is thrown in the third line:
java.util.regex.PatternSyntaxException: Unclosed character class near index 13
[^](\d+):(\d+)
^Any idea?
Thanks in advance.Thank you, jverd, you are pretty right.
Now I tried with
"\\^(\\d+):(\\d+)"and it works.
I tried to avoid ^ being interpreted as the beginning of the line, and didn't realize the interpretation inside the brackets.
Escaping this character works well. -

Marksplit() takes a regular expression, not just simple text. The + symbol means something special. Try something like split("\\+TO\\+")

Unexpected internal error near index 1
Hi,
I am convering al l occurance of "\" into "/" in a string.
private String format(){
input="java\\software\\";
System.out.println("Before formating, input:" + input);
try{
input=input.replaceAll("\\", "/");
System.out.println("After formating, Input:" + input);
}catch(Exception e){
System.out.println("Error in formatting:" + e.getMessage());
return input;
}And I am getting this Error:
Unexpected internal error near index 1
Any idea whats wrong with above code?If you want to replace two backslashes with asingle
forward slash, then you need to specify the former
(as a regular expression) as "\\\\"OH! Thanks. I got another way and its working.
I am using
s.replace('\\', '/'); insteadd of
replaceAll
Yes, that's definitely better in this case, since that API is simpler for single-char replacements. If you sometime need to replace strings though (back to the replaceAll) you'll need to be aware of how regular expressions are formed and how the backslash character plays a part in forming them. -
Delimited File - Double lines, Delimiter At End
I just installed Patch 9 for Forms and Reports. I have rebuilt my forms and reports.
I get a good PDF preview, but when I use Generate to file... Delimited... the resulting file has a delimiter at the end of each line and the lines are doubled(?); there is a description field that looks ok and then the numeric data which looks wrong on the extra lines.
In addition, any way to use delimiter_hdr=no in the Generate to file... in the preview window?It turns out that driving the report with different parameters (DESFORMAT=DELIMITED, DESTYPE=FILE, etc.) and skipping the preview, I get the correct results. It looks like the trailing delimiter is still there, but I don't get double lines.
Generate to file seems to be broken, unless there is something in my report that makes preview/generate different than using the command line parameters. -
No phone line for nearly a month
I can't believe how slow BT are. We moved into a house which had infinity but somehow BT didn't recognise that someone lived there who had a BT line and claimed there wasn't a phone line connected!
We had a phone line at least (BT didn't seem to realise) when we moved in but BT replaced the pole at the end of the garden and from then on we've been isolated - past few weeks. An engineer came out yesterday but couldn't fix the problem, now your telling us we have to wait until the 10th Dec before it can be fixed - we rely on the internet for our work and we are now having to increase our childcare so both of us can go to the office which is costing us a fortune. I don't know how many times we've phoned to complain but nothing ever seems to be sorted. How come other companies are quick at fixing issues but BT are rubbish.
Any help would be great.BT do not provide or maintain the external network. This is done by Openreach who work for all service providers. BT do not get any special treatment.
You would have been given the next available appointment that Openreach had available to BT Retail, who is your Service Provider.
There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

No phone line for nearly a month with no human con...
Our home phone line went dead on 23rd December and whilst I will accept that we've had Christmas and some bad weather (although not particularly bad in this area) we still don't have a phone line. We have spent many hours talking to call centres whose only response has been "Someone will call you back" and no on human ever does.
We have been led to believe that this is a fault which is affecting many people yet none of our neighbours has any problems whatsoever so we feel like we've been 'spun a line' to get rid of us.
I am sure BT will hide behind Outreach saying that they are the company who repair faults but all we want is an explanation rather than a text every few days saying we need more time. WHY do you you need more time is what we want to know.
For a Company whose main business is communication it defies belief.Hi peterrowlands,
Welcome and thanks for posting. I'm sorry you're having problems with the line. I can look into this for you if you wish. Drop me an email with the details. You'll find the "contact us" form in the about me section of my profile. Once I have the details we'll take it from there.

Annual Line Rental nearly expired, so DD doubled.
I've just received my latest bill; the first thing it tells me is that BT is raising my DD from £32pm to £60.60. There are two reasons for this :
1. My annual line rental expires 19/2/13. Fine, I intend to renew it this weekend. However, I've been charged for line rental from 26/1 to 25/4 (with a credit from 26/1 to 19/2).
2. We've been paying about £15-20 per qtr for calls to our son's mobile. He's just had BT phone and internet installed this month, so they'll disappear.
My first reaction was to try to have the DD reduced, even if just to £40. Using 0800 443311, you go through a long series of options, the last two being "amend your DD" and finally "Increase your DD". No other option, no chance to speak to anyone.
So I then rang 0800 800 150. Alas, after finally getting through, we had difficulty understanding each other. However, it seemed to come down to :
a) The only way to decrease my DD is to pay off the £90 debit. I have no problem with that, except that I'd then be paying the £33 line rental.
b) If I renew my annual line rental, it seems I'll have the £33 credited - in my next bill.
Obviously, it would all work out, because the debit would disappear, including the line rental. The credit would then be applied against the total of the next bill (wouldn't it?).
Again, I'd have had no problems taking these steps, in either order, provided that I could have a revised bill sent to me fairly soon. Alas, I'd have to wait three months, until my next bill arrived, to ensure everything had gone through smoothly.
Does anyone with experience of these things have any advice on the best course of action?
Solved!
Go to Solution.I've now read a few earlier threads on this, and I think I've grasped the situation (which probably means I haven't).
I'm happy to renew my Annual Lline Saver (ALS), and move to monthly billing.
Presumably, to move to monthly billing, I'd have to pay off my credit balance, which includes £33 line rental. There's no mention of outstanding balances in the ALS T&C.
The situation I want to avoid is that of paying the £33 twice; once when I renew the ALS, and again when I pay off the credit balance.
While I'm sure any problems would be resolved eventually, I'd just like to avoid them if I can.
Does anyone who's made this move have any advice? I assume that everyone whose ALS termination date didn't coincide with their billing date would have the same problem. -
New X-series product line in near future?
I'm happy X61s user, want to upgrade my laptop to new one. Looking at X200s, but want to have new line of intel CPUs (i5 or i7). Is there any information than new models of Thinkpad X with that CPUs (and of course many other new features ) will be available? Is there any sense to wait for month or two or better just to take x200s right now?

Uncompleted line repairs-nearly 2 months on!
We had a line fault which started around 2/09/11 where the phone line would go very crackly until it become so bad that we had no line at all, this we reported on the 6/10/11. After doing all the tests to confirm it wasn't an internal fault we called bt who sent an engineer. He confirmed it was an outside fault probably in the footpath at the front of out property and connected a temp line. Another engineer came to assess what would need doing and the best option decided was to put a new line in rather than trying to find the break (a trench was dug, 4 metres of footpath and 5 metres across our front lawn to put ductwork in for the new cable. The subcontractors equipment broke down so temp relaid the path. 2 weeks on and nothing more had been done (although the online fault tracker showed the repair as complete) so I contacted bt again, they said that the work would be finished. Another 2 weeks passed and the footpath has been finally completed but still no new phone line connected. Another email (4 now!) and bt phoned to say that as far as they were concerned the job had been completed. Why did they dig up the path and our garden, put in ductwork for the new cable if they were not going to use it? And how long will the temp line last?
Another related issue is that when submitting a fault report form I asked to be contacted by email or home phone if no other option, only to be contacted on my mobile phone during work hours, and when they have tried my home number, trying to understand the Indian advisors on the other end.
We have contacted bt again and am waiting for a reply!
Very Disappointed!! SteveHi lolste1995

Create a Macro to Index a Word Document Line by Line
Background
I have collected a bunch of keywords and references to where I can find these words in a textbook. I've put them into a Word document where each line is one Index beginning with the “Main Entry” followed by a colon and then the “Subentry”. Note
that in the "Subentry" I have included my reference in parenthesis (b1-m2).
Example Original Text:
Main Entry:Subentry (b1-m2)
Example Marked for Index:
Main Entry:Subentry (b1-m2){ XE "Main Entry:Subentry (b1-m2)" \t "" }
When it was only a page of content it was no big deal to select the entire line and <Ctrl>+<Alt>+<x> then <Enter> down the line. Now that I have about 500 lines of these word combinations, I need a more automated solution.
I have searched for KB articles that explain the various elements I need, though unsuccessfully since I don’t know what I need. I doubt I am the first person to do this, so if anyone could point me to the right documents I would greatly appreciate
it.
As a noob, how difficult of a task is this to automate with a Macro or some other method and should I even attempt it? I have a very short window of time to figure this out.
Nice to have: In the final index, I don't need the Word page numbering after the term. My references are in the parenthesis. I know how to remove it manually in Word, when I mark the index entry: Chose Options, Cross-reference
and remove the pre-populated text of "see". That adds \t "" to the index reference.
Illustrated as such:
From: Main Entry:Subentry (b1-m2){ XE "Main Entry:Subentry (b1-m2)" }
To: Main Entry:Subentry (b1-m2){ XE "Main Entry:Subentry (b1-m2)" \t "" }
My Attempt at Recording a Macro
Having zero experience writing macro’s myself, I tried recorded a simple macro using the manual keystrokes below however the text reflected in the actual index reference does not change. I also have to manually kick off the macro on every line of text.
I walked through each of the steps outlined below as I was recording a macro, however when I replay the macro, the index itself contains the exact same text for every line and does not match the original text on the new line.
I could not get the macro to repeat itself on every line. I had to keep running it until I was done (technically, when I realized it was repeating the same text within the index reference itself) but I’d like the macro to run from beginning
to end; line by line and then insert the Index itself at the end on a new page.
I realize I need some kind of loop to keep the macro going line by line.
I also need some way to mark the Main Entry within the loop (everything to the left of the colon) and then the Subentry (everything to the right of the colon to the end of the line).
Example “Index” Macro
Sub Index()
' Index Macro
Selection.EndKey Unit:=wdLine, Extend:=wdExtend
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.ShowAll = True
ActiveDocument.Indexes.MarkEntry Range:=Selection.Range, Entry:= _
"TV\:The Good Wife (y2014-y2015)", EntryAutoText:= _
"TV\:The Good Wife (y2014-y2015)", CrossReference:="", _
CrossReferenceAutoText:="", BookmarkName:="", Bold:=False, Italic:=False
Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1
End Sub
Manually Marking Index Entries
Manually, here are the keystrokes I use to iterate my way through the document.
Manual Index Marking Keyboard Combinations:
At the beginning of the first line, press <Shift> + <End>
This selects the entire rows text
Then press <Ctrl> + <Shift> + <x>
This allows me to “Mark Index Entry”
Then press <Enter>
This confirms the Index entry
Then press <Esc>
This closes the “Mark Index Entry”
Go to the next line and repeat.
Replacing anchor
Once the creation of each index is complete, I need to be able to iterate through the document and find all anchor + colons (IE: \: ) and replace with colon (IE: :). This way, the “Main entry” and “Subentry” are handled properly when the Index is inserted.
Manual Anchor Replacement Keyboard Combinations:
At the beginning of the Word document, press <Ctrl> + <h>
Find what: \:
Replace with: :
Then <Alt> + <a>
Press the "Ok" button (or make replace silent somehow)
Then press <Esc>
This should close the "Find and Replace" screen
Inserting Index
Ideally, I would like the macro to create and insert the newly marked content into an index at the end of the document.
Manually Inserting Index Keyboard Combinations:
Press <Ctrl> + <End>
this takes us to the bottom of the document
Then press <Alt> + <s>
this chooses the "References" tab
Next press <Alt> + <x>
this chooses "Insert Index"
Next press <Alt> + <t>
This should allow you to choose a "Format" option for the index
Next press <m>
This should chose "Modern" from the "Formats" options
Finally, press <Enter>
End the macro
Example before Indexing:
TV:The Good Wife (y2014-y2015)
TV:Phineas and Ferb (y2011)
TV:Curb Your Enthusiasm (y2011-y2015)
Game:Back to the Future (y2012)
Made for TV Movie:The Magic 7(y2009)
Main Entry:Subentry (b1-m2)
Example after Indexing is completed:
The marked up text/references did not transfer over properly from the Word document I copied my question from. I had to manually type the text within the {} brackets for illustrative purposes here:
TV:The Good Wife (y2014-y2015){ XE "TV:The Good Wife (y2014-y2015)" }
TV:Phineas and Ferb (y2011){ XE "TV:Phineas and Ferb (y2011)" }
TV:Curb Your Enthusiasm (y2011-y2015){ XE "TV:Curb Your Enthusiasm (y2011-y2015)" }
Game:Back to the Future (y2012){ XE "Game:Back to the Future (y2012)" }
Made for TV Movie:The Magic 7(y2009){ XE "Made for TV Movie:The Magic 7(y2009)" }
Main Entry:Subentry (b1-m2){ XE "Main Entry:Subentry (b1-m2)" }
Example Index

Chris SchurmanOnce I combined my Excel knowledge and Word knowledge, this became a piece of cake. Sharing my solution for anyone else who may have the need. The point of this exercise is to prepare for an open book exam and I need a quick index of my books
(there are 6 for this class). Anyway, here is how i solved (though slightly clunky, it works in seconds!)"
In Excel, I pieced the text together by concatenating the indexing markup and the contents of the pertinent cells as such:
=CONCATENATE("XE """,A2,":",B2," (b",C2,"-p",D2,")"" \t """"")
Content from Excel (with results of concantenate statement in last column:
Heading Slide Title Book Page Copy this into notepad then into word
Game Back to the Future 1 12 XE "Game:Back to the Future (b1-p12)"
Made for TV Movie The Magic 7 2 7 XE "Made for TV Movie:The Magic 7 (b2-p7)"
Main Entry Subentry 3 48 XE "Main Entry:Subentry (b3-p48)"
TV Curb Your Enthusiasm 4 100 XE "TV:Curb Your Enthusiasm (b4-p100)"
TV Phineas and Ferb 5 20 XE "TV:Phineas and Ferb (b5-p20)"
TV The Good Wife 6 35 XE "TV:The Good Wife (b6-p35)"
Then I paste special the "Values" of the last column into Word.
I run the macro below (haven't figured out how to loop yet) a few doxen times an insert the index at the bottom.
Sub Index()
' Index Macro
Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdLine
Selection.EndKey Unit:=wdLine, Extend:=wdExtend
Selection.MoveLeft Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1, Extend:=wdExtend
Selection.Fields.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Type:=wdFieldEmpty, _
PreserveFormatting:=False
Selection.EndKey Unit:=wdLine
Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1
End Sub
Bam; instant Index!
