Inserting text containain an & character

I'm trying to use the following line of sql+ code:
INSERT INTO CARRIER ( CarrierID, CarrierName, CarrierDescription) values ('551', 'AT&T', 'AT&T Wireless');
However, do to the special/reserved meaning of the '&' within SQL+, the insert fails. I also have been unable to find any way of escaping the '&' character.
Is this possible from SQL+?
You can email any thoughts to [email protected]

Want to Insert Text at Beginning of a Paragraph Using GREP

I'd like to find the beginning of a paragraph and insert a text (that uses a specific character style) into that paragraph. Below is how I've set up the find/change:
It almost works. The phrase "SECOND ITEM IS FREE!" is inserted at the beginning of the paragraph, which is what I want. But the first letter of the word that was originally at the beginning of the paragraph picks up the character style used on the inserted text. How do I insert the text without changing the character style of the existing text?
Thanks in advance for any ideas on this

(Short) Can't be done.
(Long) Well, it can, but not in a single replace. You'd have to first insert the text, then assign the correct character style.
(Slightly longer) You are physically re-inserting that final character, and so it will get that character style assigned. The usual way of finding-but-not-marking is to use a positive lookahead; but that doesn't work, because you would end up with two locations (the caret and the lookahead), and InDesign's particular implementation of GREP does not allow that. (Or rather -- irritatingly -- sometimes it seems to work if you press the Find button, but then a Change All is not going to work.)
So that's why you have to insert at least one character in the Find What, and re-insert it in the Replace With fields.
If all instances of the specific paragraph style need the prefixed text in a specific character style, consider redefining the paragraph style's autonumbering to include text and character style. Redefine the style, and all instances in the current document are changed. All future uses of the style automatically use the prefixed text and style. To update existing instances of the style in other documents with the new definition, use load paragraph styles; to apply the new definition to to other documents in an InDesign book, synchronize the styles. Search Google for terms like "InDesign paragraph styles numbered lists," "InDesign load styles," and "InDesign synchronize styles in book," without quotes for details.

JDBC + SERVLET: inserting text data to access file from Html form

Hi everybody !
I'm trying to insert text data from my html form to access database using servlet and jdbc technologies.
The problem that I'm that the data is TEXT, but not the English language !!!
So my access db file gets - ???????? symbols instead the real text.
This is the form line that sending data to my servlet:
<form
method="POST"
ACTION=http://localhost:8080/servlet/myServlet enctype="text/html">
And this is servlet line that defines response content:
res.setContentType( "text/html" );
What can I do to get in access db file the right text format and not a ???????? symbols.
Maybe I must to ad some <meta ...> , but where ?

You're dealing with Unicode, I'd guess, and not ASCII.
I guess I'd have two questions:
(1) Is the character encoding on your pages set properly for the language you're trying to use?
(2) Does Access handle Unicode characters?
Access isn't exacly a world-class database. (If it was, there'd be no reason for M$ to develop SQL Server.) I'd find out if it supports other character sets. If not, you'll have to switch to a more capable database that does. - MOD

Problem inserting text with special Hungarian characters into MySQL database

When I insert text into my MySQL db the special Hungarian
characters (ő,ű) they change into "?".
When I check the
<cfoutput>#FORM.special_character#</cfoutput> it gives
me the correct text, things go wrong just when writing it into the
db. My hosting provider said the following: "please try to
evidently specify "latin2" charset with "latin2_hungarian_ci"
collation when performing any operations with tables. It is
supported by the server but not used by default." At my former
hosting provider I had no such problem. Anyway how could I do what
my hosting provider has suggested. I read a PHP related article
that said use "SET NAMES latin2". How could I do such thing in
ColdFusion? Any suggestion? Besides I've tried to use UTF8 and
Latin2 character encoding both on my pages and in the db but with
not much success.
I've also read a French language message here in this forum
that suggested to use:
<cfscript>
setEncoding("form", "utf-8");
setEncoding("url", "utf-8");
</cfscript>
<cfcontent type="text/html; charset=utf-8">
I' ve changed the utf-8 to latin2 and even to iso-8859-2 but
didn't help.
Thanks, Aron

I read that it would be the most straightforward way to do
everything in UTF-8 because it handles well special characters so
I've tried to set up a simple testing environment. Besides I use CF
MX7 and my hosting provider creates the dsn for me so I think the
db driver is JDBC but not sure.
1.) In Dreamweaver I created a page with UTF-8 encoding set
the Unicode Normalization Form to "C" and checked the include
unicode signature (BOM) checkbox. This created a page with the meta
tag: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=utf-8" />. I've checked the HTTP header with an online
utility at delorie.com and it gave me the following info:
HTTP/1.1, Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8, Server:
Microsoft-IIS/6.0
2.) Then I put the following codes into the top of my page
before everything:
<cfprocessingdirective pageEncoding = "utf-8">
<cfset setEncoding("URL", "utf-8")>
<cfset setEncoding("FORM", "utf-8")>
<cfcontent type="text/html; charset=utf-8">
3.) I wrote some special Hungarian chars
(<p>őű</p>) into the page and they displayed
well all the time.
4.) I've created a simple MySQL db (MySQL Community Edition
5.0.27-community-nt) on my shared hosting server with phpMyAdmin
with default charset of UTF-8 and choosing utf8_hungarian_ci as
default collation. Then I creted a MyISAM table and the collation
was automatically applied to my varchar field into wich I stored
data with special chars. I've checked the properties of the MySQL
server in MySQL-Front prog and found the following settings under
the Variables tab: character_set_client: utf8,
character_set_connection: utf8, character_set_database: latin1,
character_set_results: utf8, character_set_server: latin1,
character_set_system: utf8, collation_connection: utf8_general_ci,
collation_database: latin1_swedish_ci, collation_server:
latin1_swedish_ci.
5.) I wrote a simple insert form into my page and tried it
using both the content of the form field and a hardcoded string
value and even tried to read back the value of the
#FORM.special_char# variable. In each cases the special Hungarian
chars changed to "q" or "p" letters.
Can anybody see something wrong in the above mentioned or
have an idea to test something else?
I am thinking about to try this same page against a db on my
other hosting providers MySQL server.
Here is the to the form:
http://209.85.117.174/pages/proba/chartest/utf8_1/form.cfm

HOW can I enter text using Japanese character sets?

The "Text, Plates, Insets" section of the LOOKOUT(6.01) Help files states:
"Click the » button to the right of the Text field to expand the field for multiple line entries. You can enter text using international character sets such as Chinese, Korean, and Japanese."
Can someone please explain HOW to do this? Note, I have NO problem inputting Hirigana, Katakana, and Kanji into MS WORD; the keyboard emulates the Japanese layout and characters (Romaji is default) and the IME works fine converting Romaji, and I can also select charcters directly from the IME Pad. I have tried several different fonts with success and am currently using MS UI Gothic.ttf as default. Again, everything is normal and working in a predictable manner within Word.
I cannot get these texts into Lookout. I can't cut/paste from HTML pages or from text editors, even though both display properly. Within Lookout with JP selected as language/keyboard, when trying to type directly into the text field, the IME CORRECTLY displays Hirigana until <enter> is pressed, at which point all text reverts to question marks (?? ???? ? ?????). If I use the IME Pad, it does pretty much the same. I managed to get the "Yen" symbol to display, though, if that's relevant. As I said, font selected (in text/plate font options) is MS UI Gothic with Japanese as the selected script. Oddly enough, at this point the "sample" window is showing me the exact Hirigana character I want displayed in Lookout, but it won't. I've also tried staying in English and copying unicode characters from the Windows Character Map. Same results (Yen sign works, Hirigana WON'T).
Help me!

Script to find a specific section in file & insert text below - how?

I am dealing with kind of a problem here - I am using pekwm as my window manager and I use menumaker to automatically update the menu on every startup. My problem is that the original pekwm, the first two sections called 'terminal' and 'Run' and the last two sections called 'Go To' and 'pekwm' are overwritten/modified by mmaker so that there's only the applications submenues and 'pekwm' with the 'Themes' section erased and I want to somehow preserve all that. I was thinking of creating a bash script that does the mmaker thing and then use 'sed' or 'echo' to insert the code back into the appropiate areas of ~/.pekwm/menu.
All I really need to know is how to find a particular string of code in the menu file and insert a block of text below that line using sed or echo.
Any ideas?
Last edited by lostinpurdy (2010-07-10 02:32:38)

Looks interesting. But I'd like to keep it as simple as possible and avoid the part with the extra textfiles and just insert the code text straight into the menu file, kind of like this:
mmaker --no-desktop -vf pekwm
sed {
find-and-goto-line-below-'root menu'-declaration, insert-text {
entry for 'terminal'
entry for 'run"
~/.pekwm/menu
sed {
find-line-below-'pekwm'-submenu-declaration, insert-text {
entry for 'themes'
~/.pekwm/menu
Obviously it's not real code but it's just to outline how I'd like to have it. Just need to know the correct syntax to make it work. I don't care much for 'Go To' and the rest.

How to insert text in the text-id using BDC

Hi Friends,
I m using the BAPI to upload the data for a transaction .
In that transaction there are some text id's are created to insert text like 'Container number'.
I want to insert the text in that text id . But it not a field. Text ids are having object no and table and number .
Is there any function like 'READ_TEXT' which we use to retrieve the text form text ids to write text in text ids ?
So that I can use that function to insert the text in the text ids.
Thanxs.

Hi Umesh,
READ_TEXT is used to Read the text , but SAVE_TEXT is used to save the text. but for reading or saving you need correct iD's and text objects.

how to insert text in existing file.?????You can't "insert" text into an existing file. You can
overwrite portions of an existing file or extend one by

Inserting text into a field at the current cursor position

Does anyone know how to insert text into a field at the current cursor position? I would like it to work similar to the Syntax Palette in Forms. I cannot figure out how to retrieve the current cursor position in order to manipulate the text.
Any help would be great.
Thanks.

Hi,
If the button and the textfield are on in the same subform then this code should work in the click event of the button
(This is JavaScript code so make sure the code is set to JavaScript and Client on the drop downs in the script window)
(assuming the name of the textfield is TextField1)
TextField1.rawValue = "some value";
If they are in different subforms then you have 2 options
Please note in both these options it is easier if the subforms have names ( I am assuming this to keep samples simple)
option 1 -
use the parent object to move up the tree till you are at the same level as that of the subform that contains the textfield
e.g.
(Click Event of the button)
this.parent.subformname.TextField1.rawValue = "some value";
option 2 -
Use the resolve node to make your way down from the top level of the form
xfa.resolveNode ("form1.subformname.TextField1").rawValue = "some value";
Hope this helps
Malcolm
p.s. I am making assumptions as the image/file you attached did not appear for me.

Inserting text into a Pages document with Applescript

I want to create a Pages document from a custom template but be able to insert text at various points in the document (inputted data under headings etc). I would like to use Applescript but cannot get insertion points to work, is this possible? As usual, all help gratefully accepted.

I have made a Pages template that contains tables and I want to enter text into sections of these tables
That's a completely different story! But that's still possible using GUI Scripting. Here's an example:
tell application "Pages"
    activate
    select table 1 of body text of front document
    tell application "System Events" to tell process "Pages"
        set theWindow to window 1 whose role description is "standard window"
        click button "Table" of tool bar 1 of theWindow
        keystroke "Cell A1"
        keystroke tab
        keystroke "Cell B1"
        key code 125 -- down arrow
        keystroke "Cell B2"
        -- and so on
    end tell
    select insertion point after table 1 of body text of front document
end tell

Inserting Text into a web page

I need to know how to insert text into a webpage, like google, search, and then get the result.
Using the wonders of the internet I have been able to display a webpage, and see the HTML code that is generated, however, I don't know how to insert text into a web page, or get the result.
Any help, or pointing into the right direction would be appreciated.

What do you mean by insert into web page? Like
prefill data on a form?
Or like a search on google? What are you using to
do this?
I am guessing based on the info you gave in your
question, that you might want to just look at the url
of the page. For example search on google and you
will see the text entered into the search field
inside the url. Learn from that and develop a url
that will search for the text you want to insert.
If I am not understanding you, please clarify.Right now, I'm using the URL to search for me, which will work, but the search can be different from website to website, and I would like something closer to an automated form filler if I need to implement something like this again.
Of course, something like an automated form filler would probably work better, if I were able to retreve the results

Inserting text from a variable in actionscript

what is it called when you insert text from a variable in actionscript?

Your question is not clear. There is no specific name for the process of inserting text from a variable that I am aware of.
If you have a dynamic textfield that you have assigned an instance name to, let's say you named it "tField", then to assign a variable called "aVar" to that textfield you would use:
tField.text = aVar;

Hi Jongware,
This is not correct in C# you have type cast all the object to another Object and then only we can access it in required format
for example
if want to get font in active Document
InDesign.Application myInDesign= (InDesign.Application) COMCreateObject("InDesign.Application");
InDesign myDocument = (InDesign.Document)myInDesign.ActiveDocument;
InDesign.ParagraphStyles pStyles = (InDesign.ParagraphStyle)myDocument.ParagraphStyles
InDesign.ParagraphStyle pSteyls = (InDesign.ParagraphStyle)myDocument.ParagraphStyle
for(int i =0;i<pStyles.Count;i++)
     pStyle = (InDesign.ParagraphStyle)myDocument.ParagraphStyles[i];
public static object COMCreateObject (string sProgID)
    // We get the type using just the ProgID
    Type oType = Type.GetTypeFromProgID (sProgID);
    if (oType != null)
        return Activator.CreateInstance( oType);
    return null;
like above content
for selection content u have to type cast selection object.
InDesign.Selection = (InDesign.Selection).myDocument.Selection;
Console.Writeline(InDesign.Selection.Contents);
but it showing error....
like this you have to type cast all things in C# and you cannot simply get selection contents like app.selection[0].contents
pls help me
Thank you for your reply....
