Sure, sending a BEL character to the console rings the bell, but that has nothing to do with Java. Anyway, I think he meant Java doesn't support the \a escape sequence in string and char literals.

Mail attachment generated in UDF in SAP PI 7.1 - Issue with line feed

Hello,
Situation is:
Implemented a scenario in SAP PI 7.1 with a mail receiver following this thread:
/people/samuel.chandrasekaran2/blog/2008/10/06/xi-mail-adapter-dynamically-building-attachment-and-message-body-content-using-a-simple-udf
which is about moving message lines from sender into an attachment forn the receiver mail.
It is working great!
The receiver gets the mail including the attachment with all added lines.
But when opening this mail there is an issue depending on the program we are using to open the attachment
which is defined as txt file
- Using MS Editor 5.1 (Windows XP 2007, SP3) the Carriage returns and line feeds (added with
in the UDF) to separate the message lines are not recognized. In the Editor each
    is shown as □   within the text. Word wrap (flag set in the editor) is different to the carriage return/line feeds set in the file.
- Using MS Notepad 5.1 (Windows XP 2007, SP3)   situation is the same but
    is NOT shown as □ , it simply seems to be unvisible. Word wrap (flag set in the editor) is different to the carriage return/line feeds set in the file.
- Using Word 2007 the carriage returns are recognized and used in a correct way to display the file content. But now mutated vowels (äüö) are not recognized. They are displayed as
So I followed this thread:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/96/f04142099eb76be10000000a155106/content.htm
Nice....
In the editors there is no change, but when opening the file in Word it asks now how to convert the file content
(proposing UTF-8) and Word recognizes mutual vowels.
But there seems to be a side effect....
Following the second link, PI recognizes an error.
This is the error message.
MP: exception caught with message Null as XI message received (PrincipalData in ModulData is null)
Adapter Framework caught exception: Null as XI message received (PrincipalData in ModulData is null)
Delivering the message to the application using connection Mail_http://sap.com/xi/XI/System failed, due to: com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessagingException: java.lang.Exception: Null as XI message received (PrincipalData in ModulData is null).
But the message is sent to the mail recipient which could be ok if PI would not repeat the mail sending now for several times.
So we will receive not one but a number of mails.
So we removed the modul recommended in this help link from the channel.
Result: Behaviour in Word changed now to the described one. But the errors are no longer coming up in channel monitoring incl. message send repetition. So this is a first success. But the partner wants to process the files first with one of the named editors. So we are looking for another solution now to fix the last issue!
Your ideas are really welcome!

Hi,
as I found this in wikipedia:
Another common problem is the use of '\n' when communicating using an Internet protocol that mandates the use of ASCII CR+LF for ending lines. Writing '\n' to a text mode stream works correctly on Windows systems, but produces only LF on Unix, and something completely different on more exotic systems. Using "\r\n" in binary mode is slightly better, as it works on many ASCII-compatible systems, but still fails in the general case. One approach is to use binary mode and specify the numeric values of the control sequence directly, "\x0D\x0A".
Back to my issue:
In the UDF I am adding "\r\n" but only the "\n" seems to survive!
In Mapping test line feeds are available and the lines are shown as expected.
Using Notepad ++ to open the created txt file from the mail shows that LF is in the file at each end of line but CR is missing.
CR is only at the end of the last line in the file and is not from the UDF that creates the mail or the UDF that creates the attachment lines. Seems that this is added somewhere else behind the mapping.
This is what I found in galileo computing
(http://www.galileocomputing.de/glossar/gp/anzeige-11241/FirstLetter-Z, SORRY, only available in german language!):
In Parsing of XML-Documents the XML-Parser changes the end of line delimiter internally in general to a simple line feed (LF, #0A) as usual in UNIX. ..... In Windows this could result in problems with readability of source texts (e.g. in Notepad) which can be solved by choosing the right editor.
My target application is on Windows and not able to "choose" the right editor (PI system is on windoes OS too) !
But Im wondering where the CR at the end of the text comes from when all the \r\n will be replaced with \n as described.
Ideas are really welcome!
Best regards
Dirk

Problem with "carriage Return" or "Line Feed" in a table

Hello,
I need help with the function Zeichen(), so called it in german, I'm not sure if it is char() in english.
In Pages Version 4.0.1 (746) I've created a table in Pages with this function to make an "carriage Return" in a cell.
Here an example: { ="Hello" & Zeichen(10) & "World" }, in the cell is now:
| Hello |
| World |
But in Pages Version 4.0.3 (766) this function ZEICHEN() not allow the number 10 and other till 32 (I allready read the manual and understand this problem).
Anybody an idea to make a "Carriage Return" or "Line feed" in a formular, in a cell, in a table, in Pages?
Thanks

Your workaround will not be possible in my table, because there is no empty cell in the table, but I think it is also a good help too.
*In fact I forgot that you are using a table in Pages.*
Remaining on my first idea, In Numbers we may achieve the same goal using an auxiliary table with a single cell containing the needed line break.
If this table is named "LineBreak",
the formula will be:
="Hello"&LineBreak :: $A$1&"World"
*In Pages, here is my workaround:*
Enter the cell
type a§b
don't type the character § but ctrl + return.
The cell will contain
a
b
with the arrow, move before the a
type =B2&"
delete the original a
move to the right
delete the original b
type "&C7

Please help :- Line Feed at end of line

Hi,
When i uses this class :- CLASS cl_abap_char_utilities DEFINITION LOAD. and this constant :- CONSTANTS: c_cr_lf TYPE c VALUE cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf. it will give me a line feed when i open my report in excel file but not in text file.
The reason i uses the above is becoz i dont want the line to be truncated if its space at the end of the line. If i download my report into a txt file, i wont see the line feed but when i save the file as txt file and then open with excel, it will show me the line feed. How can i solve this where i can keep the space at the end of each line and not showing the line feed when i open with excel ? Anyone can help ??

Best way to remove last line-feed in text file

What is the best way to remove last line-feed in text file? (so that the last line of text is the last line, not a line-feed). The best I can come up with is: echo -n "$(cat file.txt)" > newfile.txt
(as echo -n will remove all trailing newline characters)

What is the best way to remove last line-feed in text file? (so that the last line of text is the last line, not a line-feed). The best I can come up with is: echo -n "$(cat file.txt)" > newfile.txt
(as echo -n will remove all trailing newline characters)
According to my experiments, you have removed all line terminators from the file, and replaced those between lines with a space.
That is to say, you have turned a multi-line file into one long line with no line terminator.
If that is what you want, and your files are not very big, then your echo statement might be all you need.
If you need to deal with larger files, you could try using the 'tr' command, and something like
tr '
' ' ' <file.txt >newfile.txt
The only problem with this is, it will most likely give you a trailing space, as the last newline is going to be converted to a space. If that is not acceptable, then something else will have to be arranged.
However, if you really want to maintain a multi-line file, but remove just the very last line terminator, that gets a bit more complicated. This might work for you:
perl -ne '
chomp;
print "
" if $n++ != 0;
print;
' file.txt >newfile.txt
You can use cat -e to see which lines have newlines, and you should see that the last line does not have a newline, but all the others still do.
I guess if you really did mean to remove all newline characters and replace them with a space, except for the last line, then a modification of the above perl script would do that:
perl -ne '
chomp;
print " " if $n++ != 0;
print;
' file.txt >newfile.txt
Am I even close to understanding what you are asking for?

Folder action to find and replace text and change line feeds

I want to use a folder action to find and replace text and change Mac carriage returns to DOS line feeds inside text files.
The text to be replaced is: "/Users/wim/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Music" (without the quotes)
This text has to be removed (i.e. replaced by an empty string)
The text occurs many times within each file.
The files are playlists exported from iTunes in the M3U format (which are text files). They contain Mac carriage returns. These need to be changed to DOS line feeds.
I have found the following two perl commands to achieve this:
To find and replace text: perl -pi -w -e 's/THIS/THAT/g;' *.txt
To change carriage returns to line feeds: perl -i -pe 's/\015/\015\012/g' mac-file
I know that it's possible to make a folder action with Automator that executes a shell script.
What I want to do is drop the exported playlists in M3U format in a folder so that the folder action will remove the right text and change the carriage returns.
My questions are:
Is it possible to make a folder action that executes command line commands instead of shell scripts?
What is the correct syntax for the two commands when used in a folder action shell script? Especially, how do I escape the slashes (/) in the string to be removed?
Thanks for your help

Ok, I've include an applescript to run a shell command. The applesript command quoted form makes a string that will end up as a single string on the bash command line. Depending on what you want to do, you may need multiple string on the bash command lines. I've included some information on folder actions.
It is easier to diagnose problems with debug information. I suggest adding log statements to your script to see what is going on. Here is an example.
    Author: rccharles
    For testing, run in the Script Editor.
      1) Click on the Event Log tab to see the output from the log statement
      2) Click on Run
    For running shell commands see:
    http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/technotes/tn2002/tn2065.html
on run
    -- Write a message into the event log.
    log " --- Starting on " & ((current date) as string) & " --- "
    -- debug lines
    set desktopPath to (path to desktop) as string
    log "desktopPath = " & desktopPath
    set unixDesktopPath to POSIX path of desktopPath
    log "unixDesktopPath = " & unixDesktopPath
    set quotedUnixDesktopPath to quoted form of unixDesktopPath
    log "quoted form is " & quotedUnixDesktopPath
    try
        set fromUnix to do shell script "ls -l " & quotedUnixDesktopPath
        display dialog "ls -l of " & quotedUnixDesktopPath & return & fromUnix
    on error errMsg
        log "ls -l error..." & errMsg
    end try

How do we remove Carriage Return (line feed) inserted in FCC files

Hi Experts,
The file that we generate has a carriage return at the end.
Is there any way in which we can remove this carriage return (line feed) from the file?
The FCC parameters used at our end are as below:
structure.filedNames:
structure.fieldFixedLengths:
structure.fixedLengthTooShortHandling: Cut
Kindly tell us a solution ASAP.
Thanks & Regards
Dhwani

Dear All,
Let me elaborate on my query
Consider that the files output looks like below:
12 34 45 545 5454 UL
23 33 43 434 4545 FG
45 44 44 586 6535 GM
Now there is an extra line(Carriage Return) getting inserted after the last line 45 44 44 586 6535 GM which is not required at our end.
The cursor of the file instead of stopping on the last character M, points to the next line.
Can you please suggest how to remove this extra line from the files.
I dont understan how will remove context help in this case.

How to find a carriage return and Line feed?

I need to detect if a crriage retunr and line feed present on each row in my text file before allowing user to upload the text file
I know how to remove them from each line but what I need is to detect them no removing them from file.
Our concern is when the a row does not have carriage return and line feed.
Is there a way to find this using CF? Please help
thanks

That is exactly the problem Dave, if some rows do not have line feed, they're not being inserted into DB, it skips other steps and go right to finish. It looks
like the file is done processing.
So I need to do early rejection to this kind of file.
I used cfloop to catch anything else that do not follow the formatting rules.
Here is what I already done:
Right after the file got uploaded, I have these codes:
<cfloop index="x" file="#MyFile#" >
<CFSETMyLine = Replace(x,chr(9),"|", "ALL")>
I'm using a few functions, such as, Left(), Mid(), Right(), etc to make sure certain rules are followed.
Up till here, it's done and tested, everything is working.
The only problem is when 1 or more rows don't end up with line feed and or carriage return.
I plan to add some codes to check the end of each row for chr(10) since it is looping for every row anyway.
If detected, process file normally otherwise stop processing.
</cfloop>
So this can't be done in CF?

Working with line feed, carriege return, tab etc in JSP web layout

Hi guys,
After looking at an old thread
line feed, carriege return, tab etc in JSP web layout
I think I am experiencing the same problem here and I'm struggling to implement the solution, mainly because I am a complete newbie at jsp reports (and most things webby).
1) Can I add the code following code directly to the web source? If not then how do I find the css file being used?
table pre {
overflow-x: auto; /* Use horizontal scroller if needed; for Firefox 2, not needed in Firefox 3 */
white-space: pre-wrap; /* css-3 */
white-space: -moz-pre-wrap !important; /* Mozilla, since 1999 */
/* width: 99%; */
word-wrap: break-word; /* Internet Explorer 5.5+ */
2) I'm not sure how to set the width to be same as the width of the table cell.
Here's the web source and thanks very much in advance!

HP OfficeJet Pro 8000 A809 printing line feed page after every job

I've searched and I have found this is a known issue - that there is supposed to be an update to fix this. I can't find this update anywhere for the HP Officejet Pro 8000 A809. It is connected to the computer via a USB cable. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver, changing the print heads, doing diagnostics on it, ..., and I still get the line feed page printing after every print job. Help!

Hey there @tjkalb, I hope you are doing well
I read your post about how a "line feed" page prints after each print job from your Officejet 8000, running Windows 7. I have some steps and questions for you to try to get started. Afterwards please get back to me with the results and we will go from there if needed.
1. Does the "line feed" page print after print jobs from all programs, or are you finding it prints when you print from somewhere specifically?
2. Try a Clean Boot on your PC, restart the PC, and try printing from Notepad to see if the line feed prints.
3. Print a Print Quality Page from the printer and examine it for any defects and to see if the line feed page still prints afterwards:
source
4. Click here and try download the "Updates" for this printer: HP Officejet Pro 8000 Printer - A809a
5. Create another User Account profile on your computer and try printing from there to see if the line feed page prints from another profile.

How to insert line feed in the alert text

HI,
I am sending a message from BMP using alert.
I need to insert a line feed in the error message because the message is a concatenation of multiple error messages.
Regards
Vijay.

You already have the solution. The XML created by EDI disassembler does not have White Space and Indent enabled so what you see is unindented/non-whitepaced XML.
However if you view it in IE then you will see it indented and properly formatted. I would assume that you want to do something with the disassembled message such as store it or process it as opposed to having someone read it in a browser or notepad++ ?
because for processing the data whitespace or indentation is not really consequential.

How to insert a carriage return/line feed in a TextEdit without using wrap

Hi,
The string that I want to pass to the textedit is
"Order Notes : bla bla bla
Shipping notes : bla bla bla"
The length of Order notes and shipping notes can vary.
I am using wrapping. But I need to insert a line feed just before Shipping Notes so it comes on a different line inside the textedit box.
How do I achieve this?
Thanks in advance,
Sachin

Good thinking, Craig
I didn't think of this large textarea being present there, just waiting for a question like this ...
To sum it up for the lazy ones (cause looking at the examples is always worth it, so go do as Craig told ya g!):
CONCATENATE
`Order Notes : bla bla bla`
`Shipping notes : bla bla bla`

Removal of Line feed from EDI file in IDOC to EDI file scenario

Hi Experts,
I have one problem related to line feed in EDI file. Currently i am using seeburger mapping to do XML to EDI mapping. After mapping i am using File Adapter(with NFS) to create file in my PI server.
The line looks like
UNB+UNOA......
UNH+1.......
BGM.........
but i want my file in without line feed
UNBUNOA......UNH1......BGM
Can this be possible without use of Shell script?
Is anything i can do in Seeburger mapping [i checked BIC mapper in seeburger and see some parameters there]?
Regards,
Shradha

Hi,
I am explaining my scenario in detail:
my Current EDI file looks like
UNAf1f2............'
UNBf1f2............'
BGMf1f2............'
UNHf1f2............'
now i want my file to be in following format
UNAf1f2............'UNBf1f2............'BGMf1f2............'UNHf1f2............'
NOTE: to create my current file i am using File adapter with NFS and seeburger mapping.
Can you please tell me a way to remove the line feed from the current file ?
I already tried newline checkbox from seeburger and it is not working. and other parameter i can use from see burger mapping tool which will remove my line feed.

Shradha

Line feeds in a BPEL assign activity as viewed in the BPM worklist

We are catching errors in our BPEL 1.1 process (created in SOA Suite 11.1.1.6) and sending them to the BPM worklist via a human workflow. We followed the basic documentation found here:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/dev.1111/e10224/partpage_hwf.htm#CHDGICFI
Before we invoke the call to human task, we assign some strings to parts of the message. For example:
<assign>
<copy>
<from expression="Detailed message:\n\nMore details go here."/>
<to>....
When we pull up our error in the BPM worklist and view the detail page, we do not see "Detailed message" and "More details go here." separated by 2 line feeds. Instead, we see the actual text "\n\n" printed out.
I have tried a variety of other line feeds, but nothing seems to work (i.e. to break up the text on the screen):
 or - The tags show up in the detailed view. When I view the HTML source, I see it escaped them with &amplt; and &ampgt;
&lt;br&gt; or &lt;br/&gt; - This exact text shows up on the screen (i.e. we see &amplt;, etc.)
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; or &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt; - Same result (i.e. we see &amplt;, etc.)
&#10; - The line break is visible in the HTML source, but that's just basic HTML whitespace which doesn't translate into a viewable line break
&amp#xA; - Same thing with &#10; Just HTML whitespace
<pre> ... 2 carriage returns here </pre> - I tried to trick it into forcing the HTML whitespace into actual line breaks, but I had the same issue with the where the open/close brackets are always escaped or printed...but never interpreted.
So...the big question is...what is the proper syntax to add line feeds that an HTML browser can interpret (while viewing the BPM worklist app) when I'm building that string in a BPEL <assign><copy><from> expression?
Please advise,
Michael

Can you simply format your expression according to what you need an try? I mean replace
<assign>
<copy>
<from expression="Detailed message:\n\nMore details go here."/>
<to>....
with
<assign>
<copy>
<from expression="Detailed message:
More details go here."/>
<to>....

Losing Line-feed in XML parsing (XMLTRANSFORM) or File output (clob2file)?

Hi all, need some help please!
I'm using a xslt file to transferm a XML file into a txt format file. Within the XSLT file, there is a carriage-return (<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>) (it disappeared already, here is what i'm using "#xD" or "#xA", have to take the '&' and ';' away), but the final output txt file seems to lose this carriage-return/line-feed information. The output data became one-line.
Here are the steps I've used:
1. lv_xml_data = XMLTRANSFORM (a.xml_data, b.f_xslt)
=> output data into XMLTYPE;
2. using XMLTYPE.getclobval to get the output data into CLOB format.
lv_output_clob := XMLTYPE.getclobval (lv_xml_data);
3. using encoding:
lv_output_clob :=
DBMS_XMLGEN.CONVERT (lv_output_clob, DBMS_XMLGEN.entity_decode);
4. using clob2file write to a file with txt format.
DBMS_XSLPROCESSOR.clob2file (lv_output_clob,
lv_output_dir,
lv_filename,
NLS_CHARSET_ID ('UTF8')
Been struggling with these a few days already. Any help is appreciated. I would really like to get some input to see what might cause the carriage-return/line-feed characters lost.
Thanks in advance!

A_non,
After a few testing, I can identify the CRLF was lost in XMLTRANSFORM. I had read your other thread related to this, and try to run this sample code:
/* Formatted on 2010/02/03 15:32 (Formatter Plus v4.8.8) */
DECLARE --Local variables here
v_xml XMLTYPE
:= XMLTYPE
('<
offers xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="xsd.xsd"><
submit type="DAM" date="2007-03-28" name="MKTPART1" mode="NORMAL"/><
offer name="Jamestown" flag="true" version_no="1.0"><
standing date="2007-03-29" type="WED"/><
identifier external_id="523736560"/><
/offer><
/offers>'
v_xslt XMLTYPE
:= XMLTYPE
('<
xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"> <
xsl:output method="text"/> <
xsl:variable name="new_line" select="''
''" /> <
xsl:template match="/"> <
xsl:value-of select="/offers/offer/...name"/><
xsl:value-of select="$new_line" /><
xsl:value-of select="/offers/submit/...date"/><
xsl:value-of select="$new_line" /><
xsl:value-of select="/offers/offer/standing/...date"/><
xsl:value-of select="$new_line" /><
xsl:value-of select="/offers/offer/standing/...type"/><
xsl:value-of select="$new_line" /><
/xsl:template><
/xsl:stylesheet>'
BEGIN -- Test statements here
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line (XMLTYPE.transform (v_xml, v_xslt).getstringval ());
END;
But come out these error:
Error at line 2
ORA-31011: XML parsing failed
ORA-19202: Error occurred in XML processing
LPX-00230: invalid character 10 (U+000A) found in a Name or Nmtoken
Error at line 4
ORA-06512: at "SYS.XMLTYPE", line 310
ORA-06512: at line 2
Can not figure out why. Try to use this <xsl:variable name="new_line" select="''& # x A ;''" /> inside my style sheet, but it seems not taking it. Not too sure what's exactly should be the quotes for "''& # x A ;''" (w/o space). If I used doub quote + two single quotes, it returns error, LPX-00601: Invalid token in: ' '; if I used single quote + double quote, it did not bring in CRLF at all.
Any input?
Thanks in advance.
