Naming files with non English characters.

I'm using filemaker to creat PDF's through Acrobat 10.1.12. I need to use Polish, Hungarian, Czech and Slovakian characters in the file name but the characters are not recognised and so the file name will not create. This is for Windows, the problem does not occur on a mac.

Upload text files with non-english characters

I use an Apex page to upload text files. Then i retrieve the contents of files from wwv_flow_files.blob_content and convert them to varchar2 with utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2, but characters like ò, à, ù become garbage.
What could be the problem? Are characters lost when files are stored in wwv_flow_files or when i do the conversion?
Some other info:
* I see wwv_flow_files.DAD_CHARSET is set to "ascii", wwv_flow_files.FILE_CHARSET is null.
* Trying utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2( utl_raw.cast_to_raw('àòèù') ) returns 'àòèù' correctly;
* NLS_CHARACTERSET parameter is AL32UTF8 (not just english ASCII)

[AS] Problem with non English characters in file path

I wrote a script that exports a pdf file from ID, rasterizes it in PS, applies an action, saves it as another pdf file, and finally creates a Mail message, and attaches the file to it (the last part is written in AppleScript).
The problem is that it doesn't work when the path to this file contains non English characters.
This works:
make new attachment with properties {file name:"/Volumes/Macintosh HD/BackUp Tetard/Test.pdf"}
but this doesn't:
make new attachment with properties {file name:"/Volumes/Macintosh HD/BackUp Têtard /Test.pdf"}
I remember vaguely that I read somewhere that AppleScript can work with Unicode — in other words with such characters — starting from some version, don't remember which exactly, but it seems to me — Leopard.
I am on Mac OS X 10.4.11 right now. Will updating solve this problem? Does anybody know any solution to this problem: a scripting addition, some hidden setting, etc.
I made a little test: used a Russian character — ё and it works, but when I use — ê (Dutch) it doesn't. May it have something to do with the Region setting in International panel?
Thanks in advance,
Kasyan

Kasyan, as of Leopard AppleScript treats all text as Unicode pre this you can specify 'as Unicode text'. Try a test with these.
-- Leopard
set x to POSIX path of (path to desktop)
-- Pre Leopard
set x to POSIX path of (path to desktop as Unicode text)
-- Leopard
set x to POSIX path of (choose file without invisibles)
-- Pre Leopard
set x to POSIX path of ((choose file without invisibles) as Unicode text)

Error when import file with non-english character

Hi, I have images file with non-english character (unicode), for example ABC<X>.png where <X> is non-english character such as japanese, chinese, etc. Whenever I want to import the file to After Effects (right click -> import -> file), I always encounter error: Finding file/dir info for the file "C:\...\ABC?.png" -- file not found (-43) (3::30) Can't import file "ABC?.png": unsupported filetype or extension. (0::1) My PC is Windows XP Professional 2002 SP2 English. How to solve this problem? Thanks

Adjust your system language settings. Proper file name conventions require a consistent Unicode environment, so install the respective foreign language support files or switch the language system-wide. Mixing different zones/ code ranges is always a bad idea. If your system is not in Japanese, AE will always misinterpret the characters and refuse to import. If that's not feasible, simply rename the files.

Cp and tar files with non printable characters

Hi all,
Maybe it's a silly question but just got stuck with this.
We have an XSan with diverse material from varios departaments. Besides having a backup on tape I was trying to just do a plain copy from a terminal of all the files to another disk just using cp or tar.
But whenever cp or tar encounters a file with a nonprintable char they don't copy it.
Let's say in the client Finder the named the file "opción.txt"
The file shows up in terminal with an ? but cp or tar won't get the file.
any clues?
thanks!

Problem in converting Spool to PDF file, having non-English characters

Hi All,
I have problem in converting Spool to PDF format.
Scenario : I have a spool which has non-English characters. I am using CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF FM to perform conversion. But my output is having junk values( ie # ) for non-English characters. Any pointers to solve this issue will be appreciated.
I even tried with report RSTXPDFT4 , it also gives me the same junk characters.

Navin.

Problem with files containing non-English characters

I wrote a program that traverses a directory for files of a given extension and then displays the absolutePath in a JList. Double-clicking on a filename will open it in the registered program. It works perfectly for English filenames. The problem is when I have other characters in the filename. For example, if I have a file titled "Mexico.txt" with an accented e, it shows up in the list with a block in place of the e. So the first problem is not being able to properly display the special characters. Next, if I double-click that file it sees the absolutePath as "m%3Fxico.txt" which I'm guessing is some sort of unicode encoding. Unfortunately, that encoding is not handled properly by the Runtime.getRuntime() method. I get a "file does not exist" error. All features work fine with English characters.
Any help with these issues is greatly appreciated.

Send mail as text/html (HTML enabled content) , Specify charset in the header part (GB23... or UTF-8)of HTML
Its easy,
I hope it would solve ur problem

Cannot rename file with non-ASCII characters when using the

My application moves files from one directory to another by calling File[] srcFiles = srcDir.listFiles() to get a list of files in the source directory, and then calling srcFiles.renameTo(destFile) to rename each file.
This does not work (renameTo returns false and the file is not moved) under the following circumstances:
- the file's leaf name contains non-ASCII characters, for example "�"
- the OS is Solaris 9
- the LANG and LC_* environment variables are unset, i.e. the C locale is being used
If I set the LANG environment variable to, for example, en_GB.UTF-8 then the rename succeeds.
I have tried calling srcFiles[index].getName().getBytes("UTF-8") and the non-ASCII characters are being replaced with ? (0x3f) characters when LANG is unset.
Is this a bug in the JRE? I would argue that since my code does not actually manipulate the filename (I just use the File object that File.listFiles() gives me) then the rename should succeed. Of course I would not expect the file name to be displayed correctly if I printed it out.
I have reproduced this behaviour with JDK 1.4.2_05 and 1.5.0_04 on Solaris 9.
Francis

Thanks for the info Alan.
I considered setting the locale in the environment (this sounds like the "correct" fix to me and we might implement it later), but this application shares a WebLogic server with many other applications so we would have to do a huge amount of testing to make sure that the locale change wouldn't break the other apps. In the end I worked around the problem by making the code that generates the filenames in the first place strip out any non-ASCII characters (the names of the files are not critically important).
Looking forward to JSR-203, in the meantime perhaps a note about this behaviour in the java.io.File javadoc would be useful.

Cannot create file with Non-latin characters- I/O

I'm trying to create a file w/ Greek (or any other non-latin) characters ... for use in a RegEx demo.
I can't seem to create the characters. I'm thinking I'm doing something wrong w/ IO.
The code follows. Any insight would be appreciated. - Thanks
import java.util.regex.*;
import java.io.*;
public class GreekChars{
     public static void main(String [ ] args ) throws Exception{
          int c;
          createInputFile();
//          String input = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("GreekChars.txt")).readLine();
//          System.out.println(input);
          FileReader fr = new FileReader("GreekChars.txt");
          while( (c = fr.read()) != -1)
               System.out.println( (char)c );
     public static void createInputFile() throws Exception {
          PrintStream ps = new PrintStream(new FileOutputStream("GreekChars.txt"));
          ps.println("\u03A9\u0398\u03A0\u03A3"); // omega,theta,pi,sigma
          System.out.println("\u03A9\u0398\u03A0\u03A3"); // omega,theta,pi,sigma
          ps.flush();
          ps.close();
          FileWriter fw = new FileWriter("GreekChars.txt");
          fw.write("\u03A9\u0398\u03A0\u03A3",0,4);
          fw.flush();
          fw.close();
// using a printstream to create file ... and BufferedReader to read
C:> java GreekChars
// using a Filewriter to create files .. and FileReader to read
C:> java GreekChars
*/

Construct your file writer using a unicode format. If
you don't then the file is written using the platform
"default" format -probably ascii.
example:
FileWriter fw = new FileWriter("GreekChars.txt",
"UTF-8");I don't know what version of FileWriter you are using, but not that I know of take two string parameters. You should try checking the API before trying to help someone, instead of just making things up.
To the OP:
The proper way to produce a file in UTF-8 format would be this:
OutputStreamWriter writer = new OutputStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream("filename"), "UTF-8");Then to read the file, you would use:
InputStreamReader reader = new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream("filename"), "UTF-8");

Text encoding with non english characters

I'm trying to publish a site in Swedish, a language with 3 extra characters (Ö, Ä, Å). When I try to publish the site I keep getting a 404 error from my ftp server. I have check the site folder contents with webmeastro and it says that the characters are not MacRoman. What text encoding does iWeb 08 use, and how can I get around this problem?
thanks for your help.

[Solved]Amarok don't play files with non latin1 characters in filename

I know that this problem is not in amarok, i patched phonon from aur http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=27465

//for utf8 locale replace toLocal8Bit to toAscii
//toLocalFile fails for files with "?" in filenames. toLocalFile("a?c.s") => "a"

Problems with non-English characters in iTunes 7.7

Since "upgrading" to iTunes 7.7 every file containing characters not normally found in English (e.g.: å, ß, ç, é, î, ñ, ø, ü, etc.) gets a mane change when iTunes plays the track. For example, a song called "Baião" suddenly becomes "Bai.o" and if the artist or album name contains accented characters, these get scrambled as well. The files themselves also get jettisoned from their folders in the iTunes Library, which causes big problems.

Handling Non-English characters in the payload

Hi Gurus,
We are currently facing an issue in XI with Non-English characters. When we are trying to process Non-English characters in the payload , they are getting converted in to Junk characters at the receiver end. This scenario inbound to SAP ( File to Idoc scenario ) . Is there a way that Non-English characters can be handled in XI.
Regards,
Nick

Hi Nick,
I have knowledge of some problems when showing some kind of chinese character when
dusplaying XML messages. If it's the case, check notes:

Removing non-English characters from data.

Ours is global system with some data with non-English characters. We want to download file by removing this non-English characters.
Any suggestions how we can remove these non-English characters from file..?

The FM u said
     Replace non-standard characters with standard characters
   Functionality
     SCP_REPLACE_STRANGE_CHARS processes a text so that it only contains
     simple characters. Special characters and national characters are
     replaced in such a way that the text remains reasonably legible.
     The character set 1146 is used by default. In this case the following
     replacements are made, for example:
      Æ ==> AE        (AE)
      Â ==> A         (Acircumflex)
      Ä ==> Ae        (Adieresis)
      £ ==> L         (sterling)
     Note that the new text can be longer than the old.
So i dont think it ll be useful for eliminating the sp. chars.
U have to check each and every alphabet with std 26 alphabets
Thanks & Regards

Flex, xml, and non-English characters

Hello! I have a Flex web app with AdvancedDataGrid. And I use httpService component to load some data to grid. The .xml file contains non-english characters in attributes (russian in my case) like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
 <Autoparts>
 <autopart DESCRIPTION="Барабан">
</Autoparts>
And when i run app, AdvancedDataGrid display it like "ÑÐŸÐ". How can i fix it? I try to change encoding="utf-8" with some another charsets, bun unsuccesfully. Thank you.

Try changing the xml structure by using CDATA instead of having the russian part as an attribute and see if that makes any difference.
What I meant is use something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
 <Autoparts>
 <autopart>
 <description><![CDATA[Барабан]]></description>
</autopart>
</Autoparts>
instead of the current xml.
