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 :)

FDM - Errors with Foreign Language Characters in Load Files

For our Netherlands data import file, our source account decriptions contain the character "ë". The account decription is not loaded to HFM, but we are receiving error messages when importing. Is there a way to ignore foreign language characters? Another post suggested "Administration", "Configuation Settings", "File Encoding Type" then set to "Unicode", but the version I am using does not have this option. Version is 11.1.1.3.
Thank you!
Melody

Hello Melody,
If you are using FDM v11.1.1.3.00 the file-encoding is defaulted to Unicode. It might be helpful to contact support.
It could be your DB isn't setup to handle unicode characters (in this event the information would be stored in the SQL*Loader or MSSQL Logs). It could also be the file you are trying to import actually isn't "unicode" but more of a local ANSI/ASCII format.
Most 'European' characters were supported in that release; and I know several clients that use it as expected.
Thank you,

Junk symbols for asian language characters in PO PDF

Hi,
We have a custom program to generate the PO output and I have changed it to send the PO output to multiple emails/users using the steps given in the below link.
The issue I'm facing is that when the PDF is generated and emailed,if I open the PDF in the email,for asian language characters in the PO data,I see wierd symbols.
Has anyone faced this issue?
This is happening for even the standard PO output/email which is sent out which indicates that this is something with the WINDOWS/ADOBE settings .
Any pointers will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hello,
You have to make sure that the spool was created by the correct device type which does support
the language, you can change to the cascading device type SWINCF in SPAD, all unicode characters
can be handled by this device type, note 812821.
Secondly, goto SCOT-> Settings-> Device Types for Format Converstion, here you must set the
correct device type too, you can change the device type to also SWINCF here for the used form language.

LINUX compiled fmx: Specific language characters showed as "?"

Hi:
I develop under windows IDS 9i and compile forms in Linux with f90genm.sh. The problem is that specific language characters such as "cgsmb" etc, are showed as "?" !
What's wrong ? It's a bug or a non-functionality in FMB files between plataforms ?
Thanks
Joao Oliveira

Is it possible that your font on Linux doesn't contain those characters? Using that font in another application, can you see those characters? If so, what happens when you copy-and-paste them into Forms?

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.

I cannot view any Ethiopian Amharic language characters.

I cannot view Ethiopian Amharic language characters. The characters appear as small square symbols, not the Amharic characters. This happens on every website I visit with Amharic language. The url below is only one of the websites I visited where I had the problem.

Language Characters in File Name

Hi All,
Need your help to solve a problem which I face in my current interfac. I am currently working on SFTP to File scenario where we use Advantco SFTP Adapter. The problem is SFTP sender adapter doesn't process the files which have Language characters in the File Name. No errors are thrown and no processing of the file happens in Message Monitoring. One probable option which I already tried was to use the text encoding but that works on the content and not the file name. Just wanted to check if any body can help in suggesting some solution. Also, even for content is there a need to change the encoding for Language characters or they should be left as Binary Type. PI is SAP PI 7.11.
How does the standard SAP PI File Adapter handle scenario with File Name having language characters. Is it correctly processed or how do we handle that for correct processing, may be the same can be applied for SFTP adapter.
Best Regards,
Pratik

Hi Pratik,
Under certain operating system platforms, such as Solaris, the
APIs used by the Java Runtime (JRE) are not Unicode-aware.
Consequently, the JRE needs to be configured to correctly
interpret the character set it receives from the operating
system.
This is configured through the "file.encoding" system property as
well as the "LANG" environment variable.
Make sure you set "file.encoding" to a character set (such as
ISO-8859-1) that supports the special characters you would like
to process. This system property can be configured by appending
"-Dfile.encoding=adm user: setenv LANG de.ISO8859-1. For additional details
on 'How to Work with Character Encodings in PI' the following
guide can also be followed:

I hope this helps.

Handling Non English language characters in PDF output

Hi All,
We have a requirement wherein we have to display an existing Smartform output in a PDF format.
We have used OTF to PDF conversion and displayed the PDF output in a container.
The issue is if certain characters are of non english language then the PDF is displaying these characters as special symbols.
The following string is getting dispalyed in the SmartForm as follows:
ОРЕНБУРГАВТОРЕМСЕРВИС_
The same string is displayed as follows in the PDF form :
Any pointers on how to handle such cases would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
regards
Chaitanya

Before calling the smartform, use the FM 'SSF_GET_DEVICE_TYPE' and get the device type based on the language.
For eg:
CALL FUNCTION 'SSF_GET_DEVICE_TYPE'
    EXPORTING
      i_language = l_langu
    IMPORTING
      e_devtype = lwa_output_options-tdprinter.
Then you need to build the other control parameters like this:
Build control parameters.
lwa_control_parameters-getotf = c_charx.
lwa_control_parameters-device = 'PRINTER'.
lwa_control_parameters-preview = ''.
lwa_control_parameters-no_dialog = c_charx.
lwa_output_options-tddest = 'LOCL'.
Pass this lwa_output_options & lwa_control_parameters to output_options & control_parameters respectively in the Smartform FM.
This should ideally solve this issue.

Amirth

Thai language characters not displaying correctly in browser

Hello all
I am starting to develop a multilingual application which will include both english and thai.
The problem Im having is that the browser displays only garbage when Im fetching a report on a table that includes Thai characters in a column.
What Im seeing is something like this:
Language Id     Short     Name
0     ENG     English
1     THA     à¸à¸à¹à¸à¸¢
Things that I have checked:
- The database character set is AL32UTF8
- The same is set for NLS_LANG when starting the database, listener, OHS
- The same is configured in dads.conf
- The browser is set to Unicode as well ( and can display normal thai websites without any problems)
I have tested on a windows 7 client, as well as locally to the database on the linux box using firefox, both show the same result.
In xterm I have no problems inserting and querying thai characters. Its all shown correctly.
I tried with chinese characters as well, and I see the same result.
Any ideas please let me know
Cheers
Stefan

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.

Supporting Special Language Characters

If you have had difficulty composing emails in languages other than English, please know that Verizon is working to quickly address the issue in both Message Center and the Rich Version of Classic Webmail.
Additionally, you may want to confirm that your Operating System is configured to support your preferred language. You can do so by following the steps below (for Windows based Operating Systems):
1. Start menu button
2. Control Panel
3. Regional & Language Options
4. Select the language of your choice
Thank you,
Lorena

I figured out the problem, and I never would've guessed it. The problem seems to be with qingy. Whenever I start X from qingy with .xsession, special characters do no work in urxvt. If I launch it from normal agetty I can use all special characters in urxvt. I never would've thought qingy was the problem, but is there a way to fix this? Or should this be considered as some kind of bug? As I'd like to continue to use qingy, but only if I can fix this problem.
EDIT: I should mention that if I launch Console from qingy and then run startx everything works. The only difference I know of is that startx uses .xinitrc, while qingy starts X using .xsession. Both files are identical, so I don't know what's causing this.
