File XML Content Conversion: Problem with special characters

Hello,
in a file sender cc content conversion is used to transform a flat structure to XML. What we experiencecd is that the message mapping failed due to a character that was not allowed in XML:
I was assuming that the file content conversion just creates XML messages with allowed characters. Is there any way to configure content conversion to remove control characters which are not allowed in XML? Unfortunately the sender system cannot be modified.
Thank you.

Hi Florian,
Please use this UDF to remove special characters which prevent XML messages to form properly.
public static String removeSpecialChar(String s)
          try
               s=s.replaceAll("&","& amp ;");
               s=s.replaceAll("<" , " & lt ;");
               s=s.replaceAll(">", "& gt ;");
               s=s.replaceAll("'", "& apos ;");
               s=s.replaceAll("\"", "& quot ;");
          catch(Exception e)
               e.printStackTrace();
          return s;
Please remove spaces between characters within double quotes. I have added them because otherwise you can't see this code properly. Please check this below link , please replace the characters with proper values as the display is causing a problem here

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

We would like to use cyrilic language characters in ECC system with custome

We would like to use cyrilic language characters in ECC system with "customer reserve" language (Z1).
We have positive experience on one system for certain business partner in Macedonia (there is no Macedonian language to install as SAP standard) by using "customer reserve" language (Z1).
Now we are about to introduce other system with same approach. The trouble is that after entering Macedonian language on an cost center with language Z1 on first language and transfering it via idoc we get hashes("#") instead of characters on second language
What could be the reason? I suplemented with english (as on the first system where everything is ok) the "Customer reserve"(Z1) language normaly(with default settings).
On first system this was not done by me.
Should supplementation be done specificly?.(how to find settings for supplemention on first system?)
Please give me a hint

Hi,
To check supplement language go to T-code, SMLT ->Language ->Special actions->Supplementaion
you can get more information from below SDN thread.
Cyrilic char not coming properly
Below SAP help document gives you how to find supplement language & installation of languaes.

Content Conversion - Special Characters

How content conversion behaves with special characters?
Do we need to avoid any text in the input string that needs to be converted?
Thanks

How content conversion behaves with special characters?
Do we need to avoid any text in the input string that needs to be converted?
>>>
There is no link between the content conversion and special characters directly. The dependency is actually on the encoding standard used. You can set your encoding standard in the file adapter.
Option:
File Type
Specify the document data type.
1. Binary
2. Text
Under File Encoding, specify a code page.
For encoding standard ref. the post by another SDNer in this thread itself.

Using XML with special characters - not rendering

Hello,
I am using xml to populate the content of a Flash file, but
we have localized content for different global regions. So, when
the content contains special characters like "é" they do not
show up at all in the flash. I tried using é but that
just renders the actual code...
Is there a workaround for this?
Thanks

Hi Rothrock, thanks for your reply...
Flash Version: 8, but the swf was published to be 7+
compatible.
The font is Meta Normal, it is embedded, and it does include
the character.
I am retrieving the xml by using this script in the html
page:
<script type="text/javascript">
// <![CDATA[
var fo = new FlashObject("/templates/flash/index.swf" +
cKiller, "ad-flash", "710", "351", "7", "#FFFFFF");
fo.addVariable("xmlURL", "/flash_content/products.xml");
fo.write("ad");
// ]]>
</script>
I am creating the XML using Macromedia Homesite, with the
encoding declaration <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
The XML is being read fine, only the special characters don't
show up... so it will cut off the word, or just have an empty space
where the character should be.
I am not sure how to specifiy Extended Latin charset in the
document... could you tell me how to do that?
Thanks

Problems with special characters like "u00F6" "u00E4" "u00FC"

Hi,
we currently face some major problems with special characters like "ö" "ä" "ü". First I thought it is a SP02 specific problem but it still doesn't work with SP03.
When I start an import the import manager shows correct converted value. "ö"s "ä"s "ü"s are displayed correctly. But after I've done the import I look into the Data manager and I see instead of these characters charcaters like "̈". (note: the character should show a little square box - but the forum cannot desplay it)
How can I solve this problem?
Regards
Nico

Hi Nico
Just try it out the following steps, hope it solves ur issue.
<b>To set one or more values back to their original values:</b>
1. In the Import Manager Source Values grid, select the values that you want to set back to their original values.
2. Right-click on one of the values and choose Set to Original Value from the context menu, or choose Values > Apply Value Conversion Filter > Set to Original Value from the main menu.
3. MDME sets each value back to its original value, which appears in black in the Source Values grid.
<b>NOTE : You can use the Set to Original Value filter only at the value-level and not at the field level.</b>

Getting weird adobe pop-up with foreign language characters and no download

For the last week and change, it seems every time I have been prom,ptsd to download something from done reader, when I click on the "trust website", instead of the page and download opening up, I get an Adobe pop-up with completely foreign language (several different, it looks like) characters, and nothing to click on, and no download. I'm on a Mac, version 10.8.5, on Safari. What gives?????
Cathy

Thank you for the screenshot. The text in the message says
Before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User License Agreement then quit and relaunch the browser.
So all you need to do is to open the Adobe Reader app, accept the EULA, then restart your browser.
I don't know why this message is displayed in Japanese, but I have seen similar reports in this forum for the latest Adobe Reader on Mac.

Reading a text file with foreign language characters

I'm trying to convert foreign language characters to English looking characters. I have code that works, but only if I hard code the string with foreign language characters and pass it to the function. I cannot figure out how to get my program to read
in the foreign characters from my file, they come in as garbage.
Since the function works when I pass a hard coded string to it, I'm pretty sure the problem is the way I have the Streamreader set up, it's just not reading the characters correctly...
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim FileRdr As StreamReader = New StreamReader "m:\test\charReplace.txt", System.Text.Encoding.UTF7)
Dim ReplaceWrtr As StreamWriter ReplaceWrtr = System.IO.File.CreateText("M:\test\CharReplaceOut.txt")
Do While FileRdr.Peek() >= 0
Dim currentRec As String = FileRdr.ReadLine
removeAccent(currentRec)
ReplaceWrtr.WriteLine(currentRec)
Loop
ReplaceWrtr.Close()
End Sub
'Replace foreign language characters with English characters
Function removeAccent(ByVal myString As String)
Dim A As String = "--"
Dim B As String = "--"
Const AccChars As String = "ŠŽšžŸÀÁÂÃÄÅÇÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÐÑÒÓÔÕÖÙÚÛÜÝàáâãäåçèéêëìíîïðñòóôõöùúûüýÿ"
Const RegChars As String = "SZszYAAAAAACEEEEIIIIDNOOOOOUUUUYaaaaaaceeeeiiiidnooooouuuuyy"
For i As Integer = 1 To Len(AccChars)
A = Mid(AccChars, i, 1)
B = Mid(RegChars, i, 1)
myString = Replace(myString, A, B)
Next
removeAccent = myString
End Function
I know that removing the accent changes the meaning of the word, but this is what the user wants so it's what I need to do.
Any help is greatly appreciated!! :)
Thanks!
Joni

Finally got it to work. I had to remove the first 5 characters from the replacement string (ŠŽšžŸ), couldn't find encoding that would handle these, and to be honest, I didn't really need them. The important ones are still there, was probably
just overkill on my part.
UTF7 worked for the rest...
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim FileRdr As StreamReader = New StreamReader("m:\test\charReplace.txt", System.Text.Encoding.UTF7)
Dim ReplaceWrtr As StreamWriter
ReplaceWrtr = System.IO.File.CreateText("M:\test\CharReplaceOut.txt")
Do While FileRdr.Peek() >= 0
Dim currentRec As String = FileRdr.ReadLine
removeAccent(currentRec)
ReplaceWrtr.WriteLine(currentRec)
Loop
ReplaceWrtr.Close()
End Sub
'Replace foreign language characters with english characters
Function removeAccent(ByRef myString As String)
Dim A As String = "--"
Dim B As String = "--"
Const AccChars As String = "ÀÁÂÃÄÅÇÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÐÑÒÓÔÕÖÙÚÛÜÝàáâãäåçèéêëìíîïðñòóôõöùúûüýÿ"
Const RegChars As String = "AAAAAACEEEEIIIIDNOOOOOUUUUYaaaaaaceeeeiiiidnooooouuuuyy"
For i As Integer = 1 To Len(AccChars)
A = Mid(AccChars, i, 1)
B = Mid(RegChars, i, 1)
myString = Replace(myString, A, B)
Next
removeAccent = myString
End Function
Thanks for all your help! Greatly appreciated :)

Problems with special characters in JSP app

Hello!
I am working for a JSP application which uses special characters.
The database used is a Novell MySQL version, it is fine.
I use Tomcat, Apache.
I do not think that the versions are important.
ON NT:
The application works fine with special characters.
Obs: I tried only with Tomcat; I didn't use Apache.
ON NOVELL:
If I try to insert some special characters,
they arrive just fine into the database.
The problem is when I want to display them.
I tried with jsp directive to set the charset,
or with HTML meta tag - no result al all.
Everytime I use the same work station, and the same browser to do the tests.
Please help with any ideas.
Another question, maybe relayed:
Can I set Tomcat so that when it creates the servlets it uses a custom charset I can indicate?
THANK YOU!

The characters I want to use are french characters, e-acute, etc.
I take the data with request.getParameter, POST method, etc.

Problems with special characters in InputStream or XPath

Hello everyone,
I am having problems with special characters such as ", ', - and so on, everything becomes ? (questionmark). (Not with special nordic characthers (å,æ,ø) though.)
The encoding of the XML is UTF-8, and the server that holds the webservice is setting encoding to UTF-8 also, so no conflict there.
What I have done is something like this:
{code}
String url = "http://www.formula1.com/rss/news/latest.rss"; // This is not the feed I use, it is a custom XML document
InputSource is = new InputSource(url);
DocumentBuilderFactory fct = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder builder = fct.newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc = builder.parse(is);
Element rootElement = doc.getDocumentElement();
XPathFactory factory = XPathFactory.newInstance();
XPath xPath = factory.newXPath();
out.print(xPath.evaluate("/rss/channel/title", rootElement)); // The xml is not a RSS feed, this is just an example.
{code}
Please let me know what I am doing wrong, or give me a hint of how to solve this in another way.
Best regards,
G.Hansen

Hello, thanks for you reply. I had to rewrite your code a little, and I think that your code would not really compile, if you tried yourself :-)
I ended up with something like this:
our environment is running in 1.4 mode, so I could not use the for-each loop :-(
public String printEntities(String s) {
     char[] sArray = s.toCharArray();
     StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
       for (int i = 0; i < sArray.length; i++) {
         if (sArray[i] > 256)
              sb.append("&#x" + Integer.toHexString(sArray) + ";");
     } else
          sb.append(sArray[i]);
     return sb.toString();

SSID with special characters showing up in place of the letters

On a Win 7 machine the SSID list of available wireless networks is showing up with special characters in place of the normal letters in the name of the SSID... It has nothing to do with the Linksys Router, it is a problem on this computer. It makes it impossible to connect to a wireless network. I removed the device and reinstalled it hoping that might help. I can't find any viruses, (Known Viruses) Has anyone here seen this before? I am atttaching a photo of this. Any help appreciated.

Is this the only computer having a problem? How many wireless devices are connected and working to the router right now?

Problem figuring out the encoding for filenames with special characters

I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but this does seem like an OS issue.
I brought in a lot of mp3 and m3u files from a Windows machine to my new Mac. Some of the mp3 files have accented characters in their names, and these names appear in the m3u files. But if I add the m3u file to iTunes, it fails to recognize these names and so I lose all the mp3's with special characters in their names.
I tried to fix this by grabbing the files name in Python, but that didn't work either!
Here's an example: the file's name is "Voilà l'été.mp3"
The m3u files says "Voil\xe0 l'\xe9t\xe9.mp3" -- this doesn't work.
From os.listdir(), I get Voila\xcc\x80 l'e\xcc\x81te\xcc\x81.mp3", but sticking it in an m3u files doesn't work either. (Note that here the characters are encoded as unaccented letter + two byte code for the accent).
When I try these strings from python, e.g. doing os.stat(), they both work; but iTunes doesn't understand any of them!
I'd appreciate any hints on how to enter these names in the m3u file so that iTunes can read it. Thanks!

I know nothing about "m3u" files and how iTunes interprets the file names in them, but if it is not a relative/absolute path problem, then how about just putting the raw file names (not the ones with backslash escape) in m3u file? For example, just put
Voilà l'été.mp3
in m3u?
As for Unicode encoding, HFS+ file system uses the "decomposed form" for accented characters. This means, as you write, à is hex "61 cc 80" in UTF-8, i.e., "a + COMBINING GRAVE ACCENT". The pre-composed form is hex "c3 a0". But my experience is that in most cases both pre-composed and decomosed forms work at the user level (not at the lowest file system level).
