Query about Email Address Format & PDF Output

I'm using XML Publisher and an RTF word template linked to an Oracle XML file to generate PDF Purchase Orders.
Part of the PDF output displays an email address.
If the email address is in this format:
[email protected]
then when the PDF output is generated, the address is outputted into a clickable hyperlink which sends an email to:
[email protected]
However, if the email address is set to:
[email protected]
then the resulting email hyperlink will only be sent to:
[email protected] (i.e. all to the right of the dot)...
Just wondered if there is any way to stop this from happening?
Thank you

Sorry - I know months have passed since I first raised this query.
Just double checking again, to see if anyone is aware of a workaround for this email issue? Is there anything I can do in the XSL in the background to force a particular email hyperlink format?
Thank you

How to setup the From header in fullname and email address format

when I sent mail from the messaging express , the mail that I sent cannot show the sender in the fullname and email address format. I use webmail and other mail client . It show only email address. I don't know how to setup this . I use the SUN JES messaging server 6.0 SP1 .

exactly so.
in general, for any configutil setting:
0=off=no
1=yes=on

Regular expression for email address formats

I have the following regulare expression which I am using to validate email address format.
This allows addresses of the form
[email protected]
^[-a-zA-Z0-9._]+\@[-a-zA-Z0-9]+\.[-a-zA-Z0-9]+\.[-a-zA-Z0-9]+$
And of course this allows addresses of the form
[email protected]
^[-a-zA-Z0-9._]+\@[-a-zA-Z0-9]+\.[-a-zA-Z0-9]+$
What I'm looking for is something which will allow both.

This way
'^[-a-zA-Z0-9._]+\@[-a-zA-Z0-9.]+$' would allow both. :-)
with test_data as
( select '[email protected]' as val from dual union all
select '[email protected]'   as val from dual union all
select 'no#good'              as val from dual
select
val ,
case
    when regexp_like( val, '^[-a-zA-Z0-9._]+\@[-a-zA-Z0-9.]+$' ) then 'Y'
    else 'N'
    end
    as good
from test_data ;
VAL                  G
[email protected] Y
[email protected]   Y
no#good              NBut then again, it would also allow "[email protected]" and "[email protected]" too. So I suspect you don't really want something that simply allows your two cases to pass validation. If you want to allow only those two cases then try something like this.
with test_data as
( select '[email protected]'     as val from dual union all
select '[email protected]'       as val from dual union all
select '[email protected]' as val from dual union all
select '[email protected]'      as val from dual union all
select 'no#good'                  as val from dual
select

      ) then 'Y'
    else 'N'
    end

Extract email addresses from PDF file?

Hi,
Does somebody know if there is any -builtin- way to extract email addressed from PDF file in acrobat?
I tried 'save as' text/excel but this is a laborious task, especially when the pdf is large!
Thanks

I've developed a script that does just that. Have a look here:

Mail stopped querying other email address'

without having changed anything (that I know of) my mail program suddenly stopped querying my home email server. I travel often between two states and have two internet companies and two email addresses which both always send email to my mac mail program with out any problem for months. suddenly yesterday it only feceived email for local server.
i checked preferences, addresses still there, called internet companies, they said they weren't reporting any issues... any ideas? i can still go to a site online and grab this email but it is obviously more convienent to get your mail when you click mail! thanks~
mail is 1.3.11, powerbook g4, OS 10.3.9

Comma in name causes bad email address formation

I tried to add several names in my address book in the form "Last, First" using the "Last" field of the address book. When I create a list composed of such names and refer to the list from Mail, the names are not quoted or escaped leaving the bare commas to fool the SMTP server into thinking I have bogus email addresses. I suppose I should stop doing this, but old (Military) habits die hard.
G4 Tower MDD 1.25 GHz 1.75GB Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I have no trouble with any of my other (several thousand) contacts in Address Book, only those with parseable punctuation, notably commas. I have many Military, Government and ex-high tech contacts that like this format and when I migrated from Solaris (phone company) to Mac I exported all my contacts which had been input using "Last, First<[email protected]>" into address book. The original quotes are gone but the problem remains. Adding quotes does not help. Maybe a goof up in the import method.
I suspect this can't be solved unless I change my ways or go back to using a LDIF compliant address book client like Mozilla under Darwin.

Email address format group2%name@server.tld

Morning.
A friend of mine has established an email distribution list on GMX. The address has the format:
group2%[email protected]
Mail.app is not able send messages to this address. All other participitants of the list do not use Mail.app and have no trouble. But me, the only Mac user, can not send messages to group2%[email protected]
What's Mail.app doing? What must I do to communicate with this group by Mail.app?
TIA and kind regards, Friedrich

Hi,
Following is my understanding, please correct me if there is any misunderstanding.
We have a user Will Smith, and need it changed to
[email protected] via creating Email Address Policy.
If [email protected] has already existed in our org, it should be changed to
[email protected] .
Based on my knowledge, we can use %xg Variable Paramenter to change to
[email protected] .
However it cannot automatically change to
[email protected] if the [email protected] has already existed in our org. It means that the Email Address Policy has been changed.
To prevent duplicate addresses, we can apply some complex Email Address Policy, some like 3 letters of first name and 3 letters of last name via '%3s' and '%3g' Variable Parameters.
Maybe some scripts can achieve the goal. I suggest asking the Script Center for help, so that we can get more professional suggestions.

Can't "Review" my new apple ID account states invalis email address format??? WT heck?

Tried loggiung into iTunes with newly created apple ID (I have a new phone) and it states " You have not used this ID before aty itunes, Please Review"
So I accept the Terms and Conditions, Review my email address and password and security and DOB. Click next and it States" You must yuse a valid email address (for example [email protected])." Obviously thinking my email address is missing a character that makes it an email address. So it is just stuck here, and I can not download apps? Any help appreciated.

Thank you so much for your information. I had the same problem with an Apple ID which was from an old account used to purchase things from the Apple Store, but never used to purchase any content from the iTunes/App store. So what the "Please review" problem seems to be related to is not having a "verified" payment information associated with the iTunes Store.
Similar to what dorrall7 suggested, I got onto an iPad and went into the Settings. Under the iCloud settings (even if you aren't using iCloud) I signed in so that I could get to this Apple ID's Payment Information. This is the only way I could get to Payment Information. The iTunes & Apps Stores settings on the iPad didn't allow for verifying Payment Information. The Manage my Apple ID option through appleid.apple.com also doesn't have Payment Information to verify.
I didn't want to keep the old credit card information on file, so I canceled this Payment Information, and went back to sign in on the computer's iTunes. This time it now gave me a "Verification is required. Before you can make purchases, you must click OK, then verify your payment information." message. No more annoying unresolved "You must enter a valid email address (for example: [email protected])." message and being stuck on the Edit Apple ID Details page. From there more normal functions were available and I was able to provide and update the necessary information.
To think this all started with "This Apple ID has not yet been used with the iTunes Store. Please review your account information." The sad part is I spent HOURS talking to Apple Support and was told everything looked fine with the account. So if Apple would just correct that "You must enter a valid email address" message and instead take you to the Payment Information section, all would be fine.
Things were worse on the iPad, since you never got any error message when trying to purchase something through the App Store, but was left stuck looking at your Apple ID account information, with no way to get to the Payment Information section. Hope this problem gets fixed so that no one else needs to wonder why things aren't work--especially since these would be new customers to the iTunes store who happen to be long time Apple customers.

Email address format EX2013

hi,
when I create an Email Address Policy, i can use variables to create the Email Address.
This is great, but is it also possible to create the mail address with first letter of the given name and then the surename and when this address is used the first two letters of the given name instead and so on?
regards
Clemens

Creating a nicely formatted PDF output, suggestions/stratigies?

I really wanted to call this "Stupid Questions 101", but figured this was probably a better thread title.
I think this is going to rather long, as I have many variables and other considerations, so let me start off trying to explain.
I finally have my application pretty much finished (at least the initial version, have to see what users say). Now, I also need to add the capability for a nicely formatted report that's rather complicated, preferably as a PDF file. The final result needs to look like pages from a book (different fonts, lots of whitespace, left, right and center alignement, etc.) instead of a standard report layout.
So first, I have about 30 tables (views actually). For this application, I need to produce a report that goes through all of the views and 'dumps' all of the information in each table for whatever 'parent' record the user wants. There's going to be lots of looping, and I have the typical parent - child - grandchild relationships, so when I'm printing the child record, before progressing to the next child record, I also need to print all of the assosciated grandchild records.
A couple views can be simply output in one line, like the simple report format. Most views though need to formatted across multiple lines, like a form. Many fields will also need to be wrapped across multiple lines, adding to the whitespace and indenting problem.
All together, I have around 300 fields or so that I need output, so as I understand it, ApEx itself can't handle this as a web page (besides all the various looping problems, but also the 100 'item' limit), so I'm thinking that I'll need to create a page with a PL/SQL region and write a package (with all of the views getting their own procedure), that will go through all of the looping etc. I'll need for the 'dump'.
So, I'm wondering which is the best approach to take on this, I don't think I can use a PSP page to accomplish this, so I think I just need to use the web toolkit.
1. Should I start my PL/SQL region off with the "pre" tag, so my 'layout' stays intact?
2. I'll also need to print my field 'labels' in bold, so will the "pre" tag interfere with that?
3. Will it be easier to place the htp.p statements in my package's procedures, or just write the package with the htp.p statements and add those with the PL/SQL region on the page? (But then I'll need to use dbms.output to send the data to the region won't I?)
4. Since this will wind up (hopefully) as a nicely formatted region on the page (with lots of whitespace, etc.), will the FOP package allow me to create it (just the region, not the entire page) as a PDF, or does the FOP package only work with standard ApEx 'reports'?
5. Am I way off base here, or is there a better aproach I'm missing? I really need to try and keep everything free (otherwise I'd consider PL/PDF), as being in the government, money is usually pretty tight, we usually only have money just for our salaries and office space.
Like I said above, pretty stupid questions, but I haven't used the web toolkit in about 7 years or so, being tied up with merging two database and cleaning up the data from one of them (it had no data validation or integrity constraints at all, everything was a free-form field, like a giant spreadsheet).
Thanks for any suggestions on how to best tackle this next stage of my problem.
Of to start experimenting some.
Bill Ferguson

For anybody following this, here's a couple updates.
I decided to go with an internal stylesheet, vs. an external (one less file I need to worry about moving during an upgrade, machine change, etc.). Since I'm generating the entire page through a PL/SQL package anyway, the internal stylesheet stays with the code, just in a separate procedure.
I'm having problems getting a button to fire off the javascript to popup a new window that runs the package. I can run the package fine if I start a new window manually and supply the URL/user.package.procedure, so it's something with where I'm placing the javascript call. I've searched the forums, and the closest I found to an answer was to add the code to the "Image Attributes", but when I tried that, it insisted on an image also being specified. Since I don't have an image, or know of any, I tried both the "HTML Button" and "Template Based Button", but those grey out the "Image Attributes", and the javascript doesn't seem to fire from the "Button Attributes".
The (edited) javascript call is:
onclick="javascript:MypopUp2
('http://my_machine:my_port/mrds/usgs.print_site.print_doc?dep_id_in=&P0_DEP_ID.',800,600);"Anybody have any ideas on what/where I really need to place this? The javascript does work elsewhere, it's simply a copy of the popup2 script in core.js that I moved over into my own javascript file.
On a different note, since I'm learning about css as I progress, I discovered that using "div" "/div" causes a new line, while "span" "/span" does not (angle brackets replaced with quotes). Took me a while to get figured out, it was really messing up my formatting, so maybe somebody else just learning this css stuff can save a few headaches.
Hope somebody knows where to add the code to the button. :^)

Adding a feedback email address to webhelp output

How do I add a link within the help file which lets a user
give email feedback on a particular page? I'm happy to rename files
to be asp and get the file name to append to the mailto: string,
but can I do this just by changing a container file rather than
every single entry?

(Link to the site is in my sig line) I'd be thinking along the
lines of creating a topic template that contans a footer. Then edit
the footer to contain the script. Then apply the template to all
the topics (or all the topics where you want the link to appear)
Hopefully this helps some... Rick
Thank you. I puilled out your javascript mailto: routine. I
can now work out how to do using a mass find and replace in the htm
files, but is there any way I can avoid doing that? I don't really
understand what you mean about the topic templates. How do I "apply
the template"? Is the is something I do in RoboHelp for Word or in
the output? If in the output, which files?
If I have to follow the mass replacement route, then the
following may be of interest to others and I ask yet another
question!
What I am doing at the moment is adding your javascript
routine to the ehlpjstm.js file:
function mailink()
document.write('<p><A
HREF="mailto:[email protected]?Subject=');
//document.write(document.title);
document.write(document.URL);
// uncomment the line above and comment the line above it
using // to switch to URL. *//
document.write('&body=Type your feedback on this
topic.">Feeback on this page</A></p>')
I'm then then using Multisub (free mass text replacement
program) to change all htm files in webhelp output (except the wh*
ones) to add the following line in place of </BODY>
<script language=JavaScript1.2
type="text/javascript">mailink()</script></BODY>
I'm pretty sure I should add the javascript routine to
another js file - one that is more likely to be included regardless
of browser capabilites, or even mutlple files. Any ideas?

Proper email address format

I have been trying in vain to send a group email to 288 addresses. I cannot export proper Vcards from either Excel or Numbers. I can cut and paste all the addresses into text edit and save as a .txt file, but address book will not import them. When I paste them into Mail, a space suddenly appears after each comma. If I try to delete all the spaces, they just start appearing again.
I am not a dummy, but I feel like one.

It sounds like they were doing a 'mail merge' with a program like MS Outlook (not Outlook Express) and MS Word. Sure it works, but it's not very intuitive to set up a mail merge, and most ISP's are getting very restrictive with the number of recipients you can have in a message before your email is considered Spam and you get blocked. 250 recipients is probably on the high side of what an ISP would allow, but they are all different, and can change at any time.
You'll need to decide if you want to work with a Mail Merge and a different email program, or work with Apple Mail and your Address Book.
iWork 09 with Numbers and Pages is supposed to work with mail merge, but I haven't tried it. You convert the Excel file into a Numbers file for Pages to be able to use the data.
You can also use an excel spreadsheet as a 'data source' for a mail merge in MS Word to create emails for Entourage to send: http://www.microsoft.com/mac/help.mspx?clr=99-4-0&srcid=875f9813-ee15-41b2-8603- 04d42c6b61671033&ep=9&target=d1b92bb2-9e90-4a90-9278-4a3fd0df57781033&CTT=Relate dLink
I haven't done a Word mail merge in years, since I got my Address Book set up properly.
There are Mailer programs that might do the work for you. Here's one:

Conditionally format PDF output

Hi
In my report, I use this technique to highlight in red some rows:
      case when a.completed_date is null then
          '<div style="color:red">'||a.action_description||'</div>'
      else a.action_description end action_description,However, the div part is ignored when the report is exported to PDF (using Apache FOP) and all rows display in black.
To fix it, I created a new report template and added a conditional display to it:
<xsl:if test="contains(.//#COLUMN_HEADER_NAME#, 'color:red')">
<fo:inline xsl:use-attribute-sets="highlight">
<xsl:value-of select="#COLUMN_HEADER_NAME#"/>
</fo:inline>
</xsl:if>
I.e., if the column contents contains "color:red" it should print using the highlight attribute set. However it does not work. If I remove the div (so the color:red part actually displays in the report) it works.
So I guess that all html tagging is removed before passing the data to the PDF generation -- is this correct? Any advice on how to implement this in that case?
Thanks,
Luis

Marc,
Thanks for the response. There is another column in the report ("Status") on which I can base my logic to conditionally display one or another block, but this layout, obviously, will be specific to that report.
I was just wondering if it could be done it in a more generic way... apparently not!
Cheers,
Luis
