Quotation Mark Issue

Is there any way to change the default double quotation in Dreamweaver CS4 to a single quotation? For example:
<form name="ex">
to
<form name='ex'>
Right now if I use the autocomplete for tags I get double quotes. Is there any way to change that?

No there isn't. Dreamweaver always uses double quotes for attributes. If it's something that you would find useful to be able to change, submit a feature request through the official form at http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform.

How can i get the correct text from a string like it show in the original source with the quotation marks in the right place ?

The text is in hebrew so the problem is that sometimes the quotation marks not in the right place.
For example i have this text: תווית
על בגד: ''תן לאישה לכבס. זה תפקידה''
This is the source original text you can see the quotations marks and they are not in the right place and all i did is copy paste.
And this is a screenshot of how this text looks like in the website in the original:
You can see now where the quotations marks should be.
Now this is how i'm using the text in my program:
First of all i'm using a webclient to download the page from the website and i'm also encoding it to windows-1255 since it's in hebrew.
using (var webClient = new WebClient())
webClient.Headers.Add("user-agent", "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.2; .NET CLR 1.0.3705;)");
byte[] myDataBuffer = webClient.DownloadData("http://rotter.net/scoopscache.html");
page = Encoding.GetEncoding("windows-1255").GetString(myDataBuffer);
Then i'm extracting the places i need by reading the html file lines and parsing the right text and it's link.
string loc;
List<string> metas = new List<string>();
List<string> metas1 = new List<string>();
List<string> lockedLinks1 = new List<string>();
string text = "";
string mys = "";
public List<string> LockedThreads(string filename)
lockedThreads = new List<string>();
lockedLinks = new List<string>();
Regex textRegex = new Regex("ToolTip.*?(?=','<)");
string[] fall = File.ReadAllLines(filename);
for (int i = 0; i < fall.Length; i++)
if (fall[i].Contains("http://rotter.net") && fall[i].Contains("locked")||
fall[i].Contains("locked_icon_general") ||
fall[i].Contains("locked_icon_anchor") ||
fall[i].Contains("icon_anchor") ||
fall[i].Contains("locked_icon_fire") ||
fall[i].Contains("locked_icon_sport") ||
fall[i].Contains("locked_icon_camera") ||
fall[i].Contains("locked_icon_movie"))
Regex linkParser = new Regex(@"\b(?:https?://|www\.)\S+\b", RegexOptions.Compiled | RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
foreach (Match m in linkParser.Matches(fall[i + 2]))
if (m.Value.Contains("><b"))
loc = m.Value.Replace("\"><b", string.Empty);
lockedLinks.Add(loc);
string txt = fall[i - 1];
string text = textRegex.Match(txt).Value.Replace("ToolTip','", String.Empty);
if (text.Contains("’"))
text = text.Replace("’", string.Empty);
lockedThreads.Add(text);
Already here on the List lockedThreads you can see the quotation marks not in the right place as in the original:
After i'm parsing the text and links and adding them to the Lists in another class i'm doing a comparison using this Lists:
foreach (List<string> l_branch in ListsExtractions.responsers)
TreeNode l_node = treeView1.Nodes.Add(l_branch[l_branch.Count - 1]);
if (ListsExtractions.lockedThreads.Contains(l_node.Text))
l_node.ImageIndex = 0;
l_node.SelectedImageIndex = 0;
for (int l_count = 0; l_count < l_branch.Count - 1; l_count++)
TreeNode l_subnode = l_node.Nodes.Add(l_branch[l_count]);
if (ListsExtractions.lockedThreads.Contains(l_subnode.Text))
l_subnode.ImageIndex = 0;
l_subnode.SelectedImageIndex = 0;
The problem is in the line:
if (ListsExtractions.lockedThreads.Contains(l_node.Text))
When it's getting to the line with the quotation marks it's never equal.
Now there are more quotation marks.
In general the problem when comparing both text if it's having quotation marks it's not the same.
So i have two options:
1. To fix it somehow so the quotation marks will be the same in both variables when comparing and also the same like in the original as they show in the html page.
2. To remove the quotation marks from both variables.
What should i do ? And how ? I was prefer to use the original quotation marks like in the original since they have a meaning in the place they should be. The question is how can i do it ?
This is example of the block from the html file where the text with the quotation marks is:
<TD ALIGN="RIGHT" VALIGN="TOP"> 9418 </TD></TR><TR BGCOLOR="#eeeeee">
<TD ALIGN="RIGHT" VALIGN="TOP">
<body onmousemove="overhere()">

<img src="http://rotter.net/forum/Images/new_locked_icon_general.gif" border="0"></a></TD><TD ALIGN="right" VALIGN="TOP" WIDTH="55%">

תווית על בגד: ''תן לאישה לכבס. זה תפקידה''
</a></TD>

Ok, it is unclear on what is happening here.
Are you saying that when the webclient gets the data that it is not honoring the quote characters? Or the processing of the data buffer is causing issues?
This is what I see the of your example text which is trying to be parse out:
<a onmouseover="EnterContent('ToolTip','תווית על בגד: ’’תן לאישה לכבס. זה תפקידה’’','כתב: Spook בתאריך: 08.03.15 שעה: 22:11 מחאת טוויטר קמה בעקבות תוויות שוביניסטיות שהדפיסה חברת אופנה באינדונזיה לפיהן תפקיד הכביסה מוטל על האישה. החברה התנצלה אך כנראה רק עשתה רק יותר נזק לע...'); Activate();">";
It appears to me that the escapes `’` does not have matching `“` anywhere within the tooltip. So it appears that the page properly places left quotes in when processing the page, but the raw html has broken text.
Hence a garbage in, garbage out situation.

Quotation marks appearing as left or right arrows, does anyone know what is causing this?

Hi there we are using Indesign 2014, I am not sure if that has anything to do with this or not, but certain paragraphs in a document have a bug, where by when you type in a quotation mark (') a left or right arrow appears. We have found that if we clear the paragraph styling this disappears and the quotation marks work fine again. It is worth noting that these paragraphs did not have any paragraph styles applied to them, but they were pasted in from MS Word. Has anyone else experienced this issue and do you know where it comes from?

Ok thanks for enlightening me. We checked all the language settings on our workstations and they seem to be all set up as English UK and smart quotes are set to be used. I am not sure how to check the language assigned to a paragraph, as I say, there is not paragraph style applied to this text… Can you please let me know how to check this?
The more I think about it, the more I think it is some sort of styling that has come in from MS Word. I thought InDesign was pretty good at stripping out anything like this.

Passing quotation mark in parameter

Hi,
I have one query which I migrated from sql server database. It is given below. I am passing single quote mark as a parameter to this query but it always retrieves 0 as count. But I have 1 record in table. As a solution to this I have resolved this issue for sql server by passing two quotation mark (replacing single quotation mark with double quotation mark). This same solution applies here too. when I pass any parameter with single quote in it, it will replace single quote with double quote and then pass it to the below given procedure. But still it is not working correctly. I have similar query for retrieving that record and it is working fine. Any idea why the below query is not working correctly?
PROCEDURE GetEntUserGroupCountWithOther
ppGroupName IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT '%' ,
cp1 IN OUT SYS_REFCURSOR

How can I eliminate automatic "quotation marks" that are appearing at the end of each line?

I keep getting "quotation marks" at the end of every line when I type. How can I eliminate these marks as they are even showing up when I print and I will not have on my wedding programs! Please help (from a desperate bride-to-be)!

It sounds like you are using an East Asian font and unless you are issuing invitations in Chinese, Japanese, or Korean that doesn't sound like a good idea.

Script or GREP search line for missing quotation marks (opening or closing)

Hi there,
I've being trying to figure out a GREP search that will help me find quotations that haven't been opened or closed properly. Does anyone know if there exists a script that will mark/help me find the quotation marks that incorrectly stand alone? A GREP search line would be fine too.
Following is an example - just to make sure I made myself clear:
'why is the closing quotation mark missing after the question mark? I asked.
'I don't know, this line seems to be fine, with opening and closing quotation mark,' I answered.
Although this line is missing an opening quotation mark.'
Hope somebody can help me, I'm pretty sure I'm not the first person searching for a solution on this issue - sorry, I'm not to bright with scripting or GREP.
Thnx.

As you say, it's not waterproof, but it is really helpfull, thanks. The unclosed quotation are easy to find this way.
In Dutch we mainly use single quotation marks (double quotation marks are only used for quotations within quotations). This brings an extra dimension to the issue, since the apostrophe and single quotation mark are the same character. So a phrase like ' I'm having problems finding unopened quotations' with your GREP suggestion will mark the apostrophe in I'm as the closing quotation mark.
So what I'll do is:
1. find unclosed quotations ‘[^’]+?‘ and mark them with a character style WARNING;
2. GREP search ’[^‘]+?’ two following closing quotation marks and make them C=100;
3. GREP search ’[^‘’]+?’ the correct quotations and mark it all K=100;
4. Do a regular search for '^$ any apostrophe/quotation mark followed by a letter and mark them all K=100;
5. Do a regular search for any closing quotation mark left in C=100 and manually WARNING-mark the ones that need to be looked at by the editor.
Step 4 is a bit tricky since any error like 'I agree,'he said (no space after quotation mark) will be marked back to K=100 as well, but those errors I'll probably notice since they're underlined by the grammar control option.
Thanks again for the help.

Vertical line and missing quotation marks

Microsoft Word, a black vertical line appeared and my quotation
marks disappeared. What happened? What am I doing wrong?

Builder and quotation marks

Since we don't need the quotation marks, why does the builder build using them????
I'm trying to write the source by hand, and I use the builder to learn from.
But any source that's been generated has all that excess stuff in it, so I have to go in and edit it out.
Is there a toggle to turn that off?

This is primarily in support of object names using non-ascii characters. I believe table names can only contain A-Z 0-9 _ without using quotes around them. So, if you were French and wanted to create an employees table:
CREATE TABLE EMPLOYÉS(ID NUMBER);
CREATE TABLE EMPLOYÉS(ID NUMBER)
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00911: invalid characterWith quotes:
CREATE TABLE "EMPLOYÉS"(ID NUMBER);
Table created.Since APEX is supported 9 languages in addition to English, they have to expect they will encounter this issue when querying these tables as well. So, to be safe everything is enclosed in quotes. Quotes also support mixed case object names, but that is terrible, terrible path to go down. If anyone reading this that uses Oracle in another language cares to chime-in and correct / supplement my response, feel free.

Possessed Quotation Marks

I just realized that the quotation marks in my stories are not consistant. Here's the deal:
I wrote them on my ancient ibook in Appleworks. Transfered them to my new mac mini, I'm using Pages 08 to edit them.
I noticed that the quotes in text I add are two vertical dashes, while the original quotes are curved like standard quotation marks. I use Times New Roman.
I can't convince Pages to make curved quotes in any font! I can copy and paste the original style quotes, but can't type them....
I have about 300 pages of text from various books/stories - Will I have to go through and change EVERY quotation mark to make them consistant in my printouts? Help!!! I want my curvy quotes back!

Check Pages Preferences > Auto-Correct.
The first checkbox on this page is "Use "Smart Quotes", Ticking the box should fix the issue with new text that you type in.
For existing text use two rounds of Find-Replace.
Select and copy a space plus a set of opening quotes.
Press command-F to open the Find dialogue.
Paste the smart set (including the leading space) into the Replace box.
Copy and paste a space followed by a "dumb" quote.
Paste into the Find box.
Check that you are now finding only the leading quotation marks.
If OK, click Replace All.
Repeat with straight quotes and closing smart quotes.

Barry

Search for a phrase in quotation marks returns extraneous results

I'm searching for help with a specific error. I used Advanced Search to limit the search to the iTunes forums and searched for this phrase:
"This computer is not authorized"
The result is 199 messages, most of which do not include that specific phrase.
I thought Search was simply ignoring the quotation marks, but when I remove them, the result is 356 messages.
Searching this forum, I found someone had already reported this problem. I couldn't reply because that thread was opened *two years ago*, and new posts are blocked because it's archived. So I'm reopening this important issue.

Bind variables in double quotation marks are not recognized

Hello,
when I do "Execute Statement" (F9) in the SQL Worksheet and the statement incorporates a bind variable in the form :"Some Variable", i.e. variable name is in double quotation marks, I will get an error message "ORA-01008: not all variables bound". No prompt for entering the bind variables is displayed. Our application uses this kind of bind variables only and it is quite time consuming to change all the bind variable names before executing it especially when bind variable names contain spaces. Is there an option to enable recognition of this kind of bind variables? If not I would like to see this annoying issue fixed.
I am running Oracle SQL Developer 1.5.1 build MAIN-5440.
I am connecting from the Windows XP SP2 (32bit) box to Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.2.0 (64bit) using Basic connection type.

Hi mc1100 ,

Iphoto quotation mark after jpg

Iphoto 9.4.1 with Macos 10.8.2 in french
When you send photos via iPhoto (and not by Mail) after receiving e-mail, if you want to open the pictures attached, you will encounter a problem because the software after jpg has added a quotation mark " (eg IMGP1355. jpg" instead of IMGP1355.jpg ). To see the pictures with your favorite software, you must edit the file name and delete the quote mark " final.

Can I use intelligent quotation marks on my iPhone?

On my Mac I use "intelligent" punctuation, for example intelligent quotation marks. Can I do this on the iPhone too?
Thanks :)

I assume you mean the feature where you press a single quotation mark button and the appropriate version of it appears depending on whether it's left or right of the next character? In which case, no, on iPhone you have to enter each quotation mark with different buttons.

"Excel found unreadable content in" The Problem is text in a clob exported to excel uses - Left single quotation mark -Right double quotation mark.

Here are the ASCII char being used.
145 221 91 10010001 ‘  ‘ Left single quotation mark
146 222 92 10010010 ’  ’ Right single quotation mark
147 223 93 10010011 “  “ Left double quotation mark
148 224 94 10010100 ”  ” Right double quotation mark
149 225 95 10010101 •  • Bullet
150 226 96 10010110 –  – En dash --
The default CHAR NOW is a black diamond with ? in middle in stead of 'Right double quoation mark' and others.
The Text used is copied from documents user's get
so someone is putting in I think what is called ALT ascii. This data has been used for years
some updates where put in the system, I don't know details.
The following error started you click YES and the XLS has alot of data missing not just the CLOB.
Excel found unreadable content in ‘file-name’.
Do you want to recover the contents of this workbook?
If you trust the source of this workbook click yes.
I can copy the text then load it into the a column in a xls.
I am exporting the spreadsheet from TOAD it wasn't updated so
it has to be with the EXCEL. I tried changing the ENCODING in EXCEL but that
didn't work.

I'm not familiar with TOAD, could you please let us know how did you export data from TOAD to Excel?
Based on your description, it should be an encoding problem, have you tried to change the encoding as 'UTF-8' ?
