Mac File on NT server thows fnf exception when file name has special chars

Help,
I can get my code to work around this problem but I would like to be
able to delete the offending file or run some logic on it but it just doesn't understand the file because of the file not found exception.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks in advance,
Dan

There are several entries in the Bug Database that sound like that. They may have been fixed in 1.4.

Mac file name restrictions/special characters

What are the Mac OS file name restrictions? What are the special characters to avoid?
Is this a legitimate file name? Are the colons allowed?
/Users/Joe/Desktop/MyDocument 3:2:06.xls
Windows XP Pro

Thanks, Sagesse. I'm new to the Mac OS. Is it tied to Unix in such a way that the colons are allowed?
A user tried to provide a file with a name similar to that in my original post (e.g. "name 3:4:07.rtf") using a web form, and I'm at a loss as to how they could have saved it with the colons. Thank you for your assistance.

Can you track a form if the file name has been changed after distribution?

I created a form in Adobe Acrobat X Pro -- I then used the distribute feature and sent the form to myself using the internal server. After testing the form, and making sure all was good, I copied the attachment from the email I received when I distributed the form to myself, and sent it to my boss (via outlook). He then changed the file name, and sent the form out to our members. Our members are completing this newly-changed document instead of the original form. They are able to "Submit The Form", and it still looks as though its coming back to me via the dialogue box. However, I have no received any responses in my original document's tracking. When I tried submitting this new form myself to see what happened, I just received an message that says "Your response is being queued for submission", but it never tells you whether the form was actually submitted or not. Is there any way that you can track this form even though the file name has been changed? And if people are submitting their forms to me, where are they going?
Please help!
thanks,

I understand that you don't want to redo all the linking with the markers. You can try following (make a copy of your project first to be safe) :
- close your project and quit DVDSP
- move your old asset, and replace it with the new one
- reopen your project
A warning message should tell you that this asset has changed, but your marker will remain at old position. If the asset length are not the same, old length information will be used by DVDSP. To correct this, delete the asset from the timeline, and drop it back to the timeline.
Now you just have to move the marker to the right position.

How do I find file names containing special character

hi all
I need your help with a code that deals with finding file names containing special characters like * / \ : ? " |
the reason is I am doing a project that transfer files and folders from Mac to Windows. But names containing above characters cant be moved to windows.
the part of the code I write is like this
set illegal_syntax to paragraphs of (do shell script "find " & quoted form of POSIX path of oneFolder & " -name '*'")
if (illegal_syntax is not equal to {""}) then
repeat with each_record in illegal_syntax
do shell script "/usr/bin/ditto -c -k -rsrc --keepParent " & quoted form of each_record & space & quoted form of (each_record & ".zip")
end repeat
end if
First of all that '' will gives me an error.
Second, what i tried to do is once the file/folder is found, zip it at current location. But the problem is how can I zip it without the special character? or should I just give it a name, like "originalfile.zip";?
Last, or maybe you have better idea to deal with this situation? BTW, I can not rename or delete the file/folder because customer won't allow me to do it.

The backslash is used to escape characters in AppleScript, so if you want to use it in a string you need to escape the escape character, for example "\\*".
You could set the name of the archive by replacing the illegal character with another one, such as an underscore:
<pre title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor" style="font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: 10px; padding: 5px; border: 1px solid #000000; width: 720px; color: #000000; background-color: #FFDDFF; overflow: auto">set each_record to "some*file*name" -- example
set {TempTID, AppleScript's text item delimiters} to {AppleScript's text item delimiters, "*"}
set the ItemList to text items of each_record
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "_"
set each_record to the ItemList as text
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to TempTID
log each_record --> some_file_name
</pre>

Exception when trying to use 1-char long table name (or bug in ojdbc?)

Hello,
I`ve got exception while trying to prepare SQL statement using "prepareStatement(String sql, String columnNames[])"
Please have a look at the following test
        Connection con = null;
        String tblName = "k";
        try
            Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
            con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@oracle:1521:server", "usr", "passwd");
            con.prepareStatement("create table "+tblName+"(id number primary key)").execute();
            PreparedStatement stmt = con.prepareStatement("insert into "+tblName+"(id) VALUES (?)", new String[] {"id"});
            stmt.setInt(1, 1);
            stmt.executeUpdate();
        catch (Exception e)
            e.printStackTrace();
        finally
            try
                con.prepareStatement("drop table " + tblName).execute();
                con.close();
            catch (SQLException e)
                e.printStackTrace();
        }The result of the above is the following stacktrace:
java.sql.SQLException: Invalid argument(s) in call
     at oracle.jdbc.driver.AutoKeyInfo.getTableName(AutoKeyInfo.java:252)
     at oracle.jdbc.driver.T4CConnection.doDescribeTable(T4CConnection.java:3640)
     at oracle.jdbc.driver.PhysicalConnection.prepareStatement(PhysicalConnection.java:6427)
     at X.tst(X.java:22)
     at X.main(X.java:46)Now, if I change tblName to be kk (two characters long), it runs with no exceptions.
Has anyone ever faced the same problem?
Looks like a bug in JDBC driver... Or may be it is a known issue which I`m now aware of.
p.s. I`m using Oracle JDBC v. 11.2.0.1.0.

Well... this is definitelly not a requirement.
The code snippet came from the test (junit) for something which is much bigger. And of course the 1-char long table name has nothing to do with desing. At all.
We have a system where a user defines (named) xml structures, so to say. The structures are then "translated" into DB entities. So the result DB schema is fully auto-generated. The system supports 4 different SQL dialects. Oracle is just one of them.
Having restrictions like "name of a structure must be at least two characters" is no problem. But I still can`t believe Oracle has such a limitation. It does not sound logical (to me at least). And I had a hope may be someone has an explanation for that thing.
The code above works just fine if I do not request certain columns back after the statement is executed. (e.g. without the second parameter).
But anyway... I would post a bug for this, if I knew where to post it to :)
Thanks.

Need help in setting file name with special characters in attachment

Hi
We have a requirement where we need to set the file name that contains special characters (like Russian) and send mauil using Java mail.
If we set the file name as such, the attachment in the email contains garbled filename
Can you pl let me know how to resolve this?
We should use the file name as attachment name and this will have say special characters. The receiver who gets the mail should get with the correct attachment name
One important point.. the attachments are opened from MS outlook.
Thanks and regards
Ram

Read the FAQ carefully. You don't need to call encodeText unless you're using a really
old version of JavaMail.
And, it depends on whether the mail reader you're using is handling encoded parameters
according to the (new) MIME standard, or according to the (old) non-standard hack.
Sadly, without knowing what mail reader the recipient is using, it's impossible to use
encoded filenames that will work everywhere.

File Conversion with special char ' '

I have a flat file that contains '<' character though it is not an XML file. I planned to treat the contents like a blog and have something like this:
<recordset>
<record>
    <data>
      <i>File content</i>
    <data>
</record>
</recordset>
My File content has something like the following:
<<SAMPLE>>
<_TEST_>
DATEFORMAT, DD-MM-YYYY
DATETIMEFORMAT, DD-MM-YYYY HH24:MI:SS
SOURCESYSTEM, BM_SRC_OPENBPC
<ENDTEST>
How can this be handled as XI will interpret the '<' as XML tag and give an error when it encounters this.

When you use the content conversion of the file adapter, the characters < and > are escaped automatically.
When you want to write your own conversion module, you have to do the escaping by your own, if you want the '<' to be treated as a character. You can leave the < unescaped, when you want to treat it as a tag.

Trouble when file name has spaces

In Windows XP's Windows Explorer, when I double click a .pdf file to open it the Adobe Reader comes up and then sometimes puts up a pop-up saying "There was an error opening this document. This file cannot be found". I have to click OK several times to get the pop-up to go down.
After some internet investigation I discovered if the file's path name has spaces then Adobe breaks the path into pieces at the spaces and interprets it as several file names. The advice I found on the internet was to have the launching application put double quotes around the file name.
The trouble is, in my case the launching application is Windows XP, and I don't know how to instruct it to add the double quotes.

File name has .cr2 and .jpg

I'm exporting jpegs from .cr2 (raw) files. When I export out the version names as a .jpg the file name keeps .cr2 and adds .jpg. So my exporte file name is something like 001-HP8Q7590.CR2.jpg
This is happening on 3 of our computers, but not the 4th. What's up?
(the 001 at the beginning is a sequence that I add after editing the files)

An update:
I spoke with Aperture support. They suggested that I delete the Aperture preferences. After doing that the previously imported files still display incorrectly. (When looking at the File Info both the version name and the file name have the .CR2 extention which means Aperture thinks that .CR2 is part of the file name).
However, when I imported new raw files 3 different ways, the files display correctly under the File View. I imported direct from a CF card to Aperture, I used Photo Mechanic (my normal workflow) with IPTC Stationary Pad and without. All three versions of the import the files worked okay. So it was probably the preferences in Aperture were corrupted and it only fixed future imports.

The data in the file [file name] has already been added to the response file

I'm obtaining this error when trying to import(Add) new PDF forms into the PDF Portfolio response file distributed with PDF's. It's a new problem. I've never seen this before. In fact, I imported a few dozen forms back in November. Now, I can only import one PDF form, after which this error is returned for any attempt to import additional PDF's.
I have renamed PDF's, redistributed the Portfolio file, and hunted for any unique identifier in the PDF forms that might be tracked in the Portfolio file, or perhaps a database of imported documents which might now be corrupted. As ANY PDF form can be imported, but only one form, I am suspicious that the issue isn't related to uniqueness, but rather related to something problematic with the PDF forms themselves, or the Portfolio file.
Now I'm completely stumped. Any ideas?
The same behavior appears in both environments that I use: Acrobat 10.1.4.38 forms (Reader Enabled) built and distributed with LiveCycle Designer ES2 Version 9.0.0.2.2... on XP Professional and on Windows Server 2003.
I posted this issue over on the LC Google Group a few days ago. There hasn't been any reply there.

Hi I had the same problem, it was telling me that 'a.pdf' was already in the response file although the data wasn't there. I exported all the data from that response file as a .csv and in the first column it had 'a.pdf' incorrectly listed in the same row as data from 'b.pdf' but 'b.pdf' was not listed as a source file. I deleted this offending row from the response file and then imported 'a.pdf' and 'b.pdf' again and it worked.
Hope that helps, no idea what caused the glitch although both 'a.pdf' and 'b.pdf' were submitted by the same person in a short time frame so maybe that has something to do with it.

OSX - When I 'save all' attachments the resultant file name has %20 instead of spaces.

When I choose save all attachments from an Email the attachments are saved in the required directory but all files that have a space in the filename end up with a %20 instead of the space.
eg. attachment received "My new file.pdf" becomes "My%20new%20file.pdf" when saved into a directory.
This does not happen when I save each file individually. Which is my current workaround.
Any thoughts on how to solve this?
Running Thunderbird 31.2.0 with Exquilla
I just checked whether it is something to do with Exquilla/Exchange. The problem I am seeing is with Emails to an Exchange account. I just forwarded an Email to another of my Email accounts and when I did 'save all' on the received attachments they saved without the %20. Which gives me another work around but...

I might be able to experiment with this a little.
Are you running a recent version of Outlook Web App (i.e., Exchange 2010)?
When you save files using IE, what format are they in (e.g., EML, RTF, HTML)?

Import file name has "_"

When I import my images from my Canon 5D, Lightroom 5 replaces the first character of the image name with an underscore "_". I can't find anything in the LR preferences that would cause this. Where does this underscore come from?

What are the imagenames on the camera itself?
Usually on Canon cameras if the image name begins with an underscore, followed by MG (_MG_XXXX.JPG) that means the image was saved with an AdobeRGB color information metadata and setting while sRGB usually begins with IMG followed by the image number followed by a dot with an extension (RAW or JPG)

Converting file names from Mac to Windows.

I am an Apple tech at a university that uses both PCs and Macs. We have found that we run into some problems when transferring a user's data from one platform to the other.
When transferring lots of files, what do you experienced Mac techs use for safely converting file names from Mac to Windows?
From Windows to Mac?
We've tried NameCleaner and ended up with bad results.
Please let me know if there is something good out there for these conversions.
---Timothy

The problem looks like this:
1. User wants to switch from Mac to Windows.
2. We back up the data from his Mac to a server (an X-Serve RAID).
3. We log into the server from Windows.
4. We try to pull his data from the server.
During this data transfer, it quits with an error stating that it can't finish copying the data. I wish I had the exact text, but I don't. It does this repeatedly, and stops on different files from different locations.
In essence, without "cleaning" the Mac file names, data transfer to Windows cannot successfully complete. It quits on certain Mac file names. In the past, NameCleaner has worked sometimes, but now we have had some issues with NameCleaner (which don't matter in this discussion). The goal is to find a better solution than NameCleaner.

DPA File names in Cache

Hi everyone,
I have noticed while rendering a pdf, Docupresentment copies the DPA file to a cache folder and generates a PDF out of it in the cache itself. I see the DPA file name has some characters suffixed to the actual DPA file name, the same DPA file when created by Genarc it is created just as a number (ex: 12345.dpa) which is the record id. Not sure what are the extra characters which are added to it in cache and why this is done. Also the rendered PDF has a similar text suffixed to it.
Can anyone please explain this to me.
Thanks in advance
