Replacing HTML characters

I'll keep this short and simple. Here's what I'm trying to
do:
<cfset
qInfo.instructions=ReplaceNoCase(qInfo.instructions,">",">","all">
qInfo.instructions is used to populate a HTML cfformitem, so
I want to replace all the <,>,and &. The above line is
the first of three replacenocase statements and is throwing an
'Invalid CFML construct' error. What do I need to do
differently?

Try the HtmlEditFormat function built into ColdFusion.

Special HTML Characters

Hi,
I encountered a problem with regards to the display of special HTML characters(chr 155). Crystal was not able to correctly display the cahracters. Instead a blank space was displayed. In addition to, when the report is exported to PDF, it is displayed as boxes.
Is there a way to handle display of special HTML chars in crystal?
Thanks

Crystal HTML interpreter is very limited and has been same for years, so it seems unlikley it will chnage any time soon.
As its a specific character that is failing use a replace formul to remove the long dash html and replace with a short dash html which I guess Crystal will recognise.
Replace(yourfield, 'longdashhtml', 'shortdashhtml')

Parsing HTML characters (e.g. &nbsp)

Hi
Apologies if I'm missing something obvious, I haven't been able to find an answer searching the API or Forums...
I'm parsing HTML documents (currently as Strings) to extract certain information. Is there an easy way to replace all special HTML characters such as < etc. to a space or < respectively without having to do a string replace on every possible HTML character?
I know there's an HTML parser in swing but that seems to be geared towards creating an HTML editor.
Any help would be appreciated!

There are also a number of open source or shareware programs, such as TidyHTML, that clean-up and parse existing HTML. Check out Sourceforge or www.downloads.com.

Hi Christian R.!
If I understood right then you are using APEX. HTP and HTF are included with Oracle and APEX. You don't need the Application Server.

Looking for, and replace special characters

Hi
I am quite new to AppleScript and can't figure this out. Any help would be appreciated.
I have received several (a lot of) folders containing images with some strange characters in the file names. The images has to go to web, and I want to replace those characters with some that are web friendly. The characters in question is some Swedish A's and O's (Ä, ä, Ö, ö) and one that looks like the Apple Command symbol. (I was told this one is a combination of a and e).
Then, I would like to replace all spaces between the words in the file names with an underscore.
In addition, all image file names start with capitals and I would like to replace these as well.
Thanks

This script variant works by accepting a source string in the form "AB" and desired string "CD". When run, ABCA will become CDCC with the sample strings.

Find and Replace Japanese characters in pdf file on iPhone

Hi eveybody !
I want to find and replace Japanese characters in pdf on iPhone.
I using zlib to deflate stream - endstream block and extract text.It's work fine with latin-text.
But when i work with japanese characters , I don't know how to do it ?
I decode a sample japanese pdf file, and I know that each Japanese characters are performances as hex string : "<01b7><0e230a23>..."
But i don't know how to convert Japanese characters to the hex string like that.
Can evrybody help me?
Thanks!

Searching is the same process as extracting - since it's about turning page content into something understandable. So that still remains what you need to learn/understand - of course, referring back to all the previous sections about font formats, etc.
Replacing in PDF is EXTREMELY DIFFICULT for two reasons - subset fonts and explicit glyph positioning. Have you determine (conceptually, if nothing else) how you plan to addresses these two issues?
PDF doesn't do UTF8 for page content - so don't worry about that.

Regular expressions-how to replace [ and ] characters from a string

Hi,
my input String is "sdf938 [98033]". Now from this given string, i would like to replace the characters occurring within square brackets to empty string, including the square brackets too.
my output String needs to be "sdf938" in this case.. How should I do it using regular expressions? I tried several possible combinations but didn't get the expected results.

Replacing 'special' characters

Hi all,
I was wondering if thers is a function module, class (method) or whatever (codepage translation) to convert 'special' characters like:
è, é, ë, ï, etc with respectively e, e, e, i?
More generally speaking we need to convert all characters (whether it be Unicode, Latin-1, etc.) to plain text containing only the letters of the alphabet from a-z and A-Z.
Kind regards,
Micky.

@ Rainer,
both thanks a lot for your relevant replies which are quite helpful. And I do think that we still needs some sort of intermediate table to hold at least some characters to be translated/converted into plain text.
@ Gautham,
I'm currently testing this function module with several codepages (parameter INTER_CP) beside the default codepage 1146. For characters like ë and ï this is definitely the way to go, but when using some characters that are really out there like ¥ŖßÞu0152u03A9u03C6, we still seem to be needing an intermediate table to replace these characters.
But again, some very helpful answers.
P.S. Although both answers are potentially worth 10 pts, It only seems fair to give you both the credit you deserve.

Replace multiple characters to single character

Hi friends,
I would like to replace multiple characters in a string to a single character. The character may be a pipe (|) or a tilde (~).
For example "|||asdf||123|xyz||" should be changed to "asdf|123|xyz".
I use Oracle 11g2.
Thanks in advance!

Without regexp
with testdata as (
    select '||asdf||||123|xyz|' str from dual union all
    select 'asdf|123|||||||xyz||||' from dual union all
    select '||||||asdf|||123||||||xyz||||||' from dual
select
trim (both '|' from
    replace (
        replace (
            replace (str,'|','|'||chr(0))
            ,chr(0)||'|'
        ,chr(0)
) str
from testdata
STR
"asdf|123|xyz"
"asdf|123|xyz"
"asdf|123|xyz"
with regexp
with testdata as (
    select '||asdf||||123|xyz|' str from dual union all
    select 'asdf|123|||||||xyz||||' from dual union all
    select '||||||asdf|||123||||||xyz||||||' from dual
select
trim (both '|' from
    regexp_replace (
        str
        ,'\|+'
        ,'|'
) str
from testdata
STR
"asdf|123|xyz"
"asdf|123|xyz"

HTML characters display incorrectly in Firefox

Special HTML characters like ∠ and ← and ∝ (etc.) do not display as they should in Firefox on my Mac.
I messed with Font Book earlier today, and though I don't think I made any fatal changes, I think that might have caused this problem (though certain symbols like ♥ had never shown up correctly).
However, all of these characters display perfectly in Safari. See:
http://www.plisher.org/safari.jpg
http://www.plisher.org/firefox.jpg
How might I fix this?

Well, I just launched Firefox and opened this page in it. The angle, arrow and whatevertheotherthing is all displayed correctly, the heart however showed up in Firefox as a perpendicular line.
I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.4, with the default font set to Geneva.

Find/Replace nonprinting characters

Hello,
Is it possible to find and replace nonprinting characters in Pages? In particular, I want to replace all "hard" paragraph marks (i.e., return key) with newlines (shift-return), thus combining everything into the same paragraph for formatting purposes.
I can't seem to paste any of these into the F&R window. I've tried a couple of things like ^r and \r, but it's not happening. Hitting the return key, of course, confirms the find, rather than placing the character in the box.
Can anyone help? This is something I need to do fairly regularly.
TIA,
Jeff

Hi Jeff,
Select a paragraph mark.

Replace encoded characters in URL

Hi gurus,
I have the following requirement and I don't know how to solve it in the best way.
I have a Z transaction for uploading a local file. This file contains URL's and after upload, there are stored in SAP.
I need to check this URL and replace encoded characters with corresponding codes, for example: space -> %20
How can I do this? I've been looking for a solution, but I haven't found anything usefull yet.
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot!

Have a look at class CL_HTTP_UTILITY. There are some methods which looks promising.
The method ESCAPE_URL is waht you needed.
pass UNESCAPED = 'http://forums.sdn.sap.com/edit!default.jspa?messageID=11060123'
output = HTTP%3a%2f%2fFORUMS%2eSDN%2eSAP%2eCOM%2fEDIT%21DEFAULT%2eJSPA%3fMESSAGEID%3d11060123
& for vice versa use UNESCAPE_URL
