No curly or square brackets in xorg in Swedish keyboard layout

Hi!
I'm using the Swedish keyboard layout in xorg (se), but the curly och square brackets does not seem to be displayed as they should.
When I enter AltGr + 7, I should get a curly bracket ( { ), but now it gives me a û. AltGr + 8 equals a Û (should be [ ), AltGr + 9 equals ý (should be ] ) and AltGr + 0 equals Ý (should be } ).
Here's my xorg.conf for the Keyboard input device:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbModel" "logiultrax"
Option "XkbLayout" "se"
EndSection
Anyone have a clue what's going on?

Check your /etc/rc.conf so that you've set your locale and keymap right, that part of my rc.conf:
LOCALE="sv_SE.UTF-8"
HARDWARECLOCK="UTC"
USEDIRECTISA="no"
TIMEZONE="Europe/Stockholm"
KEYMAP="sv-latin1"
As for xorg.conf, I'm actually running completely without it. Which I could recommend as long as you're not using the proprietary drivers from NVidia or ATI or so.

To see if a file has balanced curly braces, square brackets

I am writing this class (along with other files that are in a package) to insert characters in a linkedlist and to see if the curly braces, square brackets and parentheses are balanced. For example something like this( I need to have line numbers also );
1. This file is balanced with curly braces, square brackets
2. and parentheses: {}, [] and (). These
3. characters are not required to balance inside
4. quoted strings. E.g., "){[[]".
Input is balanced.
I am not doing it right and that is where I need help or a way to lead me to a solution. I am going crazy, I am losing it....any good idea will help.import java.io.*;
import java.util.StringTokenizer;
class balance
public static void main(String arg[])
     Queue word = new Queue();
      int index = 0;
     LinkedList itr = new LinkedList();
     LinkedList size = new LinkedList();
        try
            FileReader fr = new FileReader (arg[0]);
            BufferedReader inFile = new BufferedReader(fr);
            String line = inFile.readLine();
             while(line != null)
                line = inFile.readLine();
                   while(size >= line.length() && line.charAt(index) != ' ')
                     Sentence.insert (new Character(line.charAt(index)));
                     index++;
                   while(!Sentence.empty( ))
                            while( itr != null )&& itr.equals( "{" ) || itr.equals( "}"))

                   System.out.print (" ");
                    index++;
            inFile.close();
       catch ( Exception e )
        { System.out.println( e ); }
      System.exit(0);
}

A fairly easy way is to have one counter variable per bracket-set you want to test for balance and count this vairable up each time you meet an opening bracket (outside a qouted string) and down each time you meet a closing bracket (also outside a qouted string)...
If these counters does not finish with having their initial values (eg. zero) the one set not balanced is the one whose counter variable is not zero (positive for too many opening brackets, negative for too many closing brackets)
eg.
int countSquareBrackets = 0;
int countCurlyBrackets = 0;
int countParenthesis = 0;
if (/*not in string*/)
switch (line.charAt(index)) {
case '[': ++countSquareBrackets; break;
case ']': --countSquareBrackets; break;
case '{': ++countCurlyBrackets; break;
case '}': --countCurlyBrackets; break;
case '(': ++countParenthesis; break;
case ')': --countParenthesis; break;
Hope it leads you closer to a solution,

[xorg 7] Changing keyboard layout disables deadkeys

I'm currently using the "us" keyboard, but I'd like to use accents the way I'm used to in Windows with the "US International" layout, i.e. press ' then e which gives me an accented e.
I used to use the "us_intl" layout in xorg.conf, but somehow when I do that my deadkeys (Winkey, etc) stop working. Even when I use the deadkeys-option.
How do I use both?

I don't know how you switch keyboard but here's how I do it. I have an entry in my menu that runs the following script:
#!/bin/bash
KBD1=us
KBD2=ca_enhanced
if setxkbmap -print|grep -q $KBD1
then
setxkbmap $KBD2
else
setxkbmap $KBD1
fi
Each time it's executed, it will switch the keyboard to the other layout. I use xorg in current.

Opening an excel file from a button. square brackets in filename

Internet explorer 6. Apex 3.1
When I open an excel file (via a button) , it has the filename as follows:
production_report[1].csv
The prompt to save or open has the name as production_report.csv
This prevents people saving the opened file as square brackets are not allowed in the file name.
Is this an apex issue (ie a problem with the way I specify the filename) or a browser issue, and is there a solution?
I am passing the filename in to my excel download page using the items/values settings.
eg
ITEM P12_FILENAME
ITEM VALUE production_report.csv

Yes, It works on firefox. It is only an issue with Internet Explorer.
However our web based application has to use IE and therefore when it calls apex it is in an IE browser.
I am really just producing a csv file, and opening it in excel. If this was fixed (or customisable in some way in IE that would help)

How can I read "Keys" from a Config File that have square brackets in them?

I'm using the "Read Key (String).vi" from the config.llb and I'm having a problem because the key names in my file have square brackets in them. I'm creating an VI to read certain pieces of the TestStand �StationGlobals.ini� file and array elements appear as %[0] = "blah blah blah". It looks like they're not getting recognized at all. Is there a way to handle this?

I was just looking at the code inside the configuration VIs and the way they work under V6 is that the Open VI actually reads the contents of the configuration file, parses it (in nice-platform independent G) and stores it in a fancy LV2-style global called the "Config Data Registry.vi". The routine that does the parsing is called "String to Config Data.vi". My gut reaction is that this code is going to be the same in your version because between sometime prior to V6 of LV, NI changed the location of a couple terminals on the low-level Match String function and it looks like when this code was originally written the terminals were in the old configuration.
In any case, if your square-bracket containing strings are getting lost, this is probib
ly where it's happening at. The other place to check is in the read VI itself. The V6 VI for reading the configuration registry is called "Config Data Get Key Value.vi". It's output is then further parsed by a function called "Parse Store String.vi" if the "read raw string?" input is set to False (the default position).
Given that all the code for these functions are written in LV, you should be able to fix your VIs to read the strings you have in the ini file now. Which IMHO is actually the way they should work.

Replace square brackets in SQL queries against ODBC

We use PowerPivot to access an ODBC provider. PowerPivot generates queries with square brackets, which is not ANSI compliant and incompatible with this ODBC provider. In Office 2010, we had a workaround by modifying this file:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Analysis Services\AS OLEDB\110\sql2000.xsl
and replace the '[' and ']' with double quotes.
!-- SQL Server 2000 pluggable cartridge -->

<xsl:param name="in_CanUseParams">yes</xsl:param>
<xsl:param name="in_IdentStartQuotingCharacter">[</xsl:param>
<xsl:param name="in_IdentEndQuotingCharacter">]</xsl:param>
However, this workaround does not seem to work after we upgraded to Office 2013. PowerPivot doesn't appear to read this cartridge file anymore. We are familiar with the option to manually write queries to bypass this issue, but we still like to use the generated
queries. Is there another way to replace the square brackets?

I think you could do this:

Square brackets around name of pdf preset

Hey folks, I have custom pdf presets that are used to output PDFs from Adobe InDesign CS3 on the Windows OS. These presets are in the usual default folder: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings\ and are included with a bunch of the default settings. At any rate, when I open InDesign and choose Adobe PDF Presets from the File menu, all of the settings are visible. However, they all have square brackets around the name, [myCustomIDPDFPreset]. I expect this result from the default job options that ship with Adobe but not in my custom presets. This is an issue because our output scripts use the specific name of the preset to output PDF content so the inclusion of the square brackets causes it to fail. Any thoughts on how the custom presets can appear in the list without square brackets. This was how it worked in CS2. Thks, Wil

Here is a screen shot of what's in my ID CS4 PDF Export options. All have brackets.
Here's what a search for "joboptions" returns. I'm on Intel iMac running 10.5.8. CS4.

Matching substrings between square brackets using regular expressions

Hello,
I am new at Java and have a problem with regular expressions. Let me describe the issue in 3 steps:
1.- I have an english sentence. Some words of the sentence stand between square brackets, for example "I [eat] and [sleep]"
2- I would like to match strings that are in square brackets using regular expressions (java.util.regex.*;) and here is the code I have written for the task
+Pattern findStringinSquareBrackets = Pattern.compile("\\[.*\\]");+
+     Matcher matcherOfWordInSquareBrackets = findStringinSquareBrackets.matcher("I [eat] and [sleep]");+
+//Iteration in the string+
+          while ( matcherOfWordInSquareBrackets.find() )+
+{+
+          System.out.println("Patter found! :"+ outputField.getText().substring(matcherOfWordInSquareBrackets.start(), matcherOfWordInSquareBrackets.end())+"");     +
+          }+
3- the result I have after running the code described in 2 is the following: *Patter found!: [eat] and [sleep]*
That is to say that not only words between square brackets are found but also the substring "and". And this is not what I want.
What I would like to have as a result is:
*Patter found!: [eat]*
*Patter found!: [sleep]*
That is to say I want to match only the words between the square brackets and nothing else.
Does somebody know how to do this? Any help would be great.
Best regards,
Abou

You can find the words by looping through the sentence and then return the substring within the indexes.
int start=0;
int end=0;
for(int i=0; i<string.length(); i++)
   if(string.substring(i,i+1).equals("[");
start=i;
if(start!=0)
if(string.substring(i,i+1).equlas("]");
end=i;
return string.substring(start,end+1);
}something like that. This code will only find the firt word however. I do not know much about regex so I cannot help anymore.

Smartform square brackets or check box

Hi all,
Please help me in the issue . I output of the smartform should have checkboxes or square brackets . I tried using standard symbols but i didnt acheive it . can anyone please sugguest me how can i acheive .
thanks in advance,

Hi,
If the check bax you are expecting is for interactive purpose, then you need to go for adobe forms. If it is just for showing in the layout then you can try below 2 ways.
1. Upload an image of the check box to your SAP system from SE78. Print this graphic as you normally print the LOGO. ( you can create a node of type graphic)
2. Create a text element and print a single dot. Set the output options of the text element as below.
Select check box "Lines with" under the frames section. Give the appropriate spacing and width say 1 PT each. Now it shows a small box with the frames. If it is in main window, then you may need to create a template for controlling the width and hight of the element.
Thanks,
Vinod.

Can't highlight square brackets

I've recently bought an iPad air (not air 2). Before that I used an iPad 2 running on iOS 6. I have a document in Dropbox I often copied some specific code from including square brackets. Now, on my new iPad running the newest iOS 8, I'm unable to copy or highlight the starting square brackets. No matter how close I zoom in I can't highlight the very first bracket and any other starting brackets '[' disappear when I paste the text. The closing brackets are still there. Does anyone know why this is happening at what I can do to make it stop? It worked just fine on my old iPad and I would be very disappointed if my new iPad can't do something that simple.
Thanks, Zebrakatten

What are the square brackets around paragraphs and heads?

I am hoping that someon can hlep me with this topic. I can not seems to find anything on this matter.
I have recieved an InDesign file for a book that we are updating the design and content for. All the text in this file has Square brackets, at the begining and end, of each paragraph or head. I have never seen this before, coming from a Quark background.
The characters are visible in "normal mode", but they disapear when you view in "preview" mode.
Can anyone please tell me what the Square brackets around text means?

If you are using OSX this AppleScript should remove all of the XML tags, but test it carefully on a copy of the document:
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
try
untag (every XML element of document 1)
end try
end tell
If you are not on a Mac I'm sure you could get the equivalent JavaScript at the scripting forum.

Where's the square bracket key?

Hey guys. I'm using a Dutch azerty keyboard and I can't find the square bracket keys. I need 'em badly for programming. How can I type them?

I don't see a Dutch azerty keyboard layout - the Dutch layout is qwerty and the square brackets are to the right of the p key.
However, for the Belgian layout, which is azerty, [ is Shift-Option-5 and ] is Shift-Option-- (Shift-Option-Hyphen).
You can hunt for keys yourself (do you remember the Classic utility KeyCaps?)- go to System Preferences > International > Input Menu tab and check the box for Keyboard Viewer. A flag should appear in your menu bar (if not, scroll down to your language and check the box there). Click on the flag in the menu bar and select Show Keyboard Viewer. A mini keyboard will appear, and you can hold down Shift, Option, Ctrl, or any combinations of them and the keys will show you what you get.
Hope this solves your problem...

Round and square brackets in regexp

Hello,
Can someone please explain to me what is the difference between:
SELECT REGEXP_INSTR('aoeeeeo','(i|e)o') position FROM dual;
and
SELECT REGEXP_INSTR('aoeeeeo','[ie]o') position FROM dual;
I mean, what is the main difference between round brackets with the alternation operator and square brackets in regular expressions?
Thank you very much,

It will perhaps be clearer if you look at it with more than just single characters...
SQL> select regexp_replace('this is fred and his test string', '(is|and)','XXX') from dual;
REGEXP_REPLACE('THISISFREDANDHISTES
thXXX XXX fred XXX hXXX test string
SQL> select regexp_replace('this is fred and his test string', '[isand]','XXX') from dual;
REGEXP_REPLACE('THISISFREDANDHISTESTSTRING','[ISAND]','XXX')
thXXXXXX XXXXXX freXXX XXXXXXXXX hXXXXXX teXXXt XXXtrXXXXXXg
SQL>The round brackets allow you to specify whole strings whereas the square brackets allow you to specify sets of individual characters.
Therefore in my first example it looks for IS or AND and replaces those.
In the second example it looks for any occurence of the characters I,S,A,N,D and replaces those.

How to write the regular expression for Square brackets?

Hi,
I want regular expression for the [] Square brackets.
I have tried to insert in the below code but the expression not validate the [] square brackets.
If anyone knows please help me how to write the regular expression for [] Square brackets.
private static final Pattern DESC_PATTERN = Pattern.compile("({1}[a-zA-Z])" +"([a-zA-Z0-9\\s.,_():}{/&#-]+)$");Thanks
Raghav

Since square brackets are meta characters in regex they need to be escaped when they need to be used as regular characters so prefix them with \\ (the escape character).
