Loadvars and the "&" Delimiter

I have a picture gallery that gets its data from a text file
using the loadvars object. Currently, I have a text file with 2
different variables, one is the picture location URL and the other
is a description of the picture. These variables, as per flash
standards, are separated in the text file by the & delimeter.
My client now wants to change the URL to be dynamic meaning the URL
will have the ampersand (&) character in it. The loadvars
object will now split the dynamic URL thinking it has hit the end
of the variable. Does anyone have a work around for this? Is there
a way to change th delimiter in flash? Is there a piece of code
that does a text string search and change that maybe I can change
all of the & in the URL to ~ and change it back to & once
it is in flash?

Use the URL encoding %26 instead of &

Report Builder and the Delimited format.

Hi,
I am trying to build a very simple report with Report Builder.
Any kind of output format (HTML, PDF, etc) works fine EXCEPT the delimited one.
Each time i am trying to have this report in delimited format, i received an error message and these lines are added in the sqlnet.log:
Fatal NI connect error 12203, connecting to:

The same report in another output format runs without problem.
Can somebody help please?

Use the parameter DELIMITER=',' .
I think it works

Multiple flat files with Comma delimiter and Pipe Delimiter in the sub folders.

Hi,
I have a directory C:\doc\Outcomes\Health --(This is the main path).
In the path above i have multiple subfolders like
A
B
C
D
Folder A & B have 20 flat files each which are comma separated and pipe delimiter files.
Folder C&D have 20 excel files each.
1) So, In SSIS while looping through the subfolders how do i limit to loop only excel files one time and flat files one time.
2) In folder A&B, how do i loop only Pipe delimiter files (neglecting comma saperated files). I want to loop only pipe delimiter files while using for each loop container.
Thanks

Both are txt files, but the data inside the files is saperated by ',' and '|'. ( comma and pipe)
Thats ok
If delimiters are not consistent you can use this method

Is it possible to remove the delimiting line between Bookmarks bar and Tab bar?

I place the Tab bar between the Bookmarks bar and the page content area, as the attached image shows.
Is it possible to remove the delimiting line between Bookmarks bar and Tab bar? I feel that line is redundant.

Your Tab bar doesn't look standard.
Did you check the code with the default theme if you currently use a custom theme?

Group and Merge Delimited List

Hi All
Is there a way we can sort the result of Group and Merge processor->Delimited list values ?
I see none in the options and it seems sorting them in alphabetical order.
Thanks,
Sid

Hi Sid,
Yes, the "Delimited List" selection function in Group and Merge sorts the results into ascending alphabetical order. This was a deliberate decision so that the results of the processor are deterministic and agnostic of the order of the records entering the processor. It is not possible to change this sort order inside the processor but if required you can perform downstream post-processing of the data if you need to change the order.
thanks,
Nick

How do I set the delimiter to Tab in a etext template?

HI , I would like to set a tab delimiter for an etext rtf template. Does any one know what section do I enter the parameter to do this (format,data level, detail, does it matter)? Also what is the correct snytax and the value for the tab delimiter? Thanks in advance!
Matt

I'm just starting a sizeable eText setup and I agree it's not documented well. I found useful analyzing the XDO file, which is created off the RTF template and used to actually process the XML data. Gives more clues on how the RTF needs to be structured. Issues I'm running into is that the RTF->XDO conversion is what it is, so there may be a need for custom pre-post- update of the XDO and/or the final output. But still beats formatting by hand.

Can the delimiter in a CFSELECT-multiple be changed before using the list it creates?

I am using a CFSELECT which allows multiple selections, and I
am feeding the results into a query which returns information about
all of the selections. However, some of the values being returned
contain commas because the values are company names (Acme, Inc.)
and this conflicts with the comma-delimiting being looked for by
the ListQualify I am using in the query to look up the information
based upon the selections.
Is there a way to change the delimiter of either the CFSELECT
or the list it generates? I have tried ListChangeDelims before the
query, but it changes both the delimiter commas and the value
commas, obviously. I don't believe there is a way to change the
delimiter commas between creating the list in the CFSELECT and
using it in the ListQualify, but there are so many of you CF
geniuses out there, one of you has to know how to do this.
I am happy to provide more information or attempt to clarify
a point upon request.
My thanks in advance for your consideration and help,
Jim

Thank you for the suggestion, Dan. I wish it was that simple.
I am working with a table in which the company name is entered for
each record and has no link to any other table, there is no company
table. I could create a company table and switch-out the company
name with it's new id, but I'd rather not have to change several
thousand records. Plus, with new records being added all the time,
how would the users enter company names if the names aren't already
in this new table?
The point may be moot, in addition, as there are numerous
scenarios in which one may have a field that contains commas for a
number of reasons. Regardless of why the commas are used, the fact
that they can be used is important and what needs to be addressed.
Is there a way to leave the commas in the records and change the
delimiter put in the list?
Thanks again,
Jim

What is the delimiter for tab in StringTokenizer???

I am trying to use StringTokenizer on a string which contains tab character. I tried StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(str, "/t"); but nothing happens, what should use as the delimiter?
thanks in advance

Your tokenizer construction is fine. Here's a working app for you to mess around with - I can only assume you're doing something - somewhere that's odd;-import java.util.StringTokenizer;
public class TokenizeDemo{
 public static void main (String []args){
 String str = "We \t all \t love \t java \t and \t rabbits";
 StringTokenizer tkn = new StringTokenizer(str, "\t");
 int counter = tkn.countTokens();
 String []strArray = new String[counter];
 for(int i = 0; i < counter; i++){
 strArray[i] = tkn.nextToken().trim();
 System.out.println(strArray[0]);
 System.out.println(strArray[1]);
 System.out.println(strArray[2]);
 System.out.println(strArray[counter-1]);
}

SQLPLUS 9.2 on Windows and the "&" character

Running Windows XP SP@ and SQLPlus 9.2
using the Insert statement and text with "&" within single quotes within the Insert Statement
The insert pauses and asks for input from the screen and removes the "&" character and the text after it.
I tried escape: "\&" with no lock..
How can I insert the "&" character within a text field delimited by single quotes?
Thanks

Type SET DEFINE OFF in your SQL*Plus session before executing the insert statement.

Problem with LoadVars and stopping/playing

I've got a flash movie set up online that isn't working
properly. The details are this: the movie has two frames, the first
being a blank loading frame meant to keep anything from being
displayed till the variables are delivered by my PHP script, and
the second being the frame with the actual movie content.
The actionscript I use on the first frame is as follows:
quote:
names = new LoadVars();
names.onLoad = function() {
gotoAndStop(2);
names.load("txt?id="+"EBfig298x"+"&"+secure);
stop();
The
"txt. . .secure bit is the location of my PHP script that
delivers the necessary variables. I know that the PHP side of
things is working because the flash program DOES load all the
variables in exactly as I want it to. The problem I am having is
that when played, the program stops indefinitely on frame 1. I have
to right-click and force the program to play before it flickers
past frame 2 (the content) and back to the loading frame, where it
then loads the variables and plays like it's supposed to.
You can play the flash movie at
http://images4u.com/thumbs_i4u.php?play=EBfig298x.swf
As I described above, it remains blank indefinitely, so you
will need to force it to play to see what I'm talking about.
I'd appreciate any help you guys can give to get the movie
playing automatically as it should.

The first time flash attempts to do the loading, there
appears to be a 301 redirect from images4u.com to www.images4u.com
for the requested text data.
This then appears to sent... but then flash requests a
crossdomain.xml file from www.images4u.com and it receives none
(404 not found).
At that point I assume that the LoadVars onLoad does not
trigger.
The second time around it requests it from the
www.images4u.com domain and there is no problem - it doesn't seem
to need a crossdomain.xml permission.
So the problem is with the redirect. I don't know exactly the
solution. I would guess either make the request from flash to
www.images4u.com/etcetera or put a crossdomain.xml at your sites
root covering both www.images4u.com and images4u.com in terms of
permissions.

LoadVars and listener functions

Hi all...I posted yesterday with some trouble getting
loadvariables to work. I have since changes the code to use the
LoadVars class instead but I am still have the same issue as
before. The request for variables from the server does not complete
and the values do not get set before the variables need to be used.
I have a simple flash movie with 1 input text box (name_txt),
1 button (Submit) and 1 dynamic text box (lblOutput).
I have a simple script on the button:
on (release) {
//loadVariables("dev.aspx?foo=" + name_txt.text, "POST");
newVars = new LoadVars();
newVars.load("dev.aspx?foo="+_level0.name_txt.text);
//This line just visually shows me that the script makes it
this far
_level0.lblOutput.text += "This is hard coded
text. ";
_level0.lblOutput.text += newVars.retVal;
I have a very simple asp page that returns the value:
'Format the response
Response.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
'Create a string and
Dim foo As String = "&retVal=" &
Request.QueryString("foo") & " - This is from the ASP
Page. "
Trace.Warn(foo.ToString)
Response.Write(foo.ToString)
Response.End()
When I load the Flash movie and type the word "test" into the
input field and click submit...I can see that Flash sends the
variable to the asp page by checking the asp trace information. The
value comes into asp just fine but, as I understand it, I need some
sort of listener function to force Flash to wait for the
transaction to complete before trying to load the use the variable
values.
Could someone please explain how I can add this listener
functionality to the script above? Many thanks!!

You need a stop() on the frame doing the load and onLoad.
Then in the onLoad
you move to the next frame. Other approaches include hiding
the UI and in
the onLoad, revealing the UI such as a MovieClip cover is
made invisible.
Declare the results LoadVars object on the timeline outside
of a function
and it is accessible for the entire movie at all levels.

I'm using LoadVars in Frame 1, and I need to use the
resulting variables in
other scripts afterwards. (But all the examples I find online
only use the
variables right in the same script.)
The problem I'm having is, the onLoad function doesn't
actually make it
wait.
It goes ahead to the next frame whether fully loaded or not.
It depends on
the
connection at the moment--if the vars haven't fully loaded,
hilarity ensues.
My script in Frame 1:
_root.myloadvars = new LoadVars();
_root.myloadvars.load("datapairs.txt");
_root.myloadvars.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
//trace("TXT RETRIEVED");
gotoAndPlay(2);
} else {
trace("TXT NOT RETRIEVED");
gotoAndPlay(1);
It's SUPPOSED to hold in Frame 1 until ready to
proceed and make use of
the
variables in Farme 2.
Things I have tried:
* Moving the above to Frame 2, so the "not retrieved" loop
actually has two
frames to cycle (back to 1, then forward to 2 where the
script it).
* Adding an additional gotoAndPlay(1) BELOW the above.
But regardless, it never goes back to Frame 1, it always
goes forward. It
reports success, but half the time the variables (or some of
them) are still
Undefined.
What's the RIGHT way to wait in a frame for LoadVars, and
then let other
scripts use the variables afterwards?
Many thanks for any advice!

before I upgrade.)

The reference to entity "M" must end with the ';' delimiter issue

Hello,
My interface scenario is third party system sending file to PI; Then PI is generating IDOC and sending it to ECC system.
Now issue is we are getting below error message,
“The reference to entity "M" must end with the ';' delimiter”.
What do I have to do to fix this error? I'm not sure what the problem about the delimiter is?
I am giving example here,
Input payload like:
<NAME>H&M</NAME>
<NAME_2>H&M</NAME_2>
<NAME_3></NAME_3>
<POSTL_CODE>00002</POSTL_CODE>
<CITY>HELSINKI</CITY>
If I removed ‘&’ from <Name> segment value then IDOC is generated correctly.
But Name is coming to PI like that only.
Please help me.

Hello Rohan
It might be that PI thinks &M is part of an XML escape code in line
<NAME>H&M</NAME>
it should be <NAME>H&M</NAME>
Kind regards
Steve

Backslashes and the CompositeName class

I am running J2SDK 1.4.2_06 on a Windows 2000 Server and developing a custom e-mail package that uses the Java Beans EMail class. Everything is working correctly with one exception: file attachments. The problem is when I try passing the filenames argument to the EMail send method that parses them, it fails because the filenames have only one backslash in them rather than two (e.g. "C:\temp\fileA.doc;C:\temp\fileB.doc;C:\temp\fileC.doc"). I cannot hard-code or manually edit the file list because it is generated dynamically each time the program is run.
The EMail class send method requires that the filenames/attachments be in the form of a String with semi-colons as the delimiter for each filename. I read that there is a CompositeName class that is a member of javax.swing that may help resolve this problem but I cannot find any documentation on how to use it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The backslash "\" is a special character (or meta
character) that must be escaped.
Can you give me a one-line code sample on how to
convert the "\" to "\\" using a reg expression in
Java?If you are talking about Strings, then the \ only has to be escaped if you write it as a String (i.e. it's hardcoded) you should not escape it if you read it from a file, textfield, network connection etc.
