Replacing non-ascii characters in String

I have a site where the user enters data in a rich text
editor (ktml4) that gets stored into a database (mysql). There are
non ascii characters getting into the data, I'm assuming that they
are copying and pasting from Word. Unfortunately in this situation,
changing that process isn't an option.
Currently, this is the only character that is causing me
problems:
http://www.zvon.org/other/charSearch/PHP/search.php?request=ffa0&searchType=3
I would just like to replace the non-ascii characters with a
space when I read them from the database. Something like:
#Replace(result.column, '\xffa0', ' ')#
However, I believe that code looks for the string "\xffa0",
not the character \xffa0.
Is there anyway to do this?

Can you give an example of how to pass a non-ascii character
to REReplace?
Regular expressions are not my strength, but the approach I
was considering was, "if it's not an ascii character, make it a
space". Then you pass the entire string at once.

Replacing non-ASCII characters with HTML charcter references

Hi All,
In Oracle 10g or greater is there a built-in function that will convert a string with non-ASCII characters like this
a b č 뮼
into an ASCII string with HTML character references like this?
a b & # x 0 1 0 D ; & # x B B B C ;
(note I had to include spaces between each character in the sample code for message to prevent the forum software from converting my text)
I tried using
utl_i18n.escape_reference( val, 'us7ascii' )
but for some reason it returns
a b c & # x B B B C ;
Note how it converted the Western European character "č" to its unaccented counterpart "c", not "& # x 0 1 0 D ;" (is this a bug?).
I also tried a custom solution using regexp_replace and asciistr (which I can't include here because the forum software chokes on it) but it only returns the correct result for values <=4000 characters long. Unfortunately asciistr doesn't appear to accept CLOB values larger than 4000 characters. It returns an error message like
(ORA-22835: Buffer too small for CLOB to CHAR or BLOB to RAW conversion (actual: 30251, maximum: 4000) ).
I'm looking for a solution that works on CLOB data of any size.
Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide.

So with that (UTF8) in mind, let's take another look.....
As shown below, I used a AL32UTF8 database.
Note: I did not use a unicode capable tool for querying. So I set console mode code page to 1250 just to have č displayed properly (instead of posing as an è).
Also, as a result of using windows-1250 for client character set, in the val column and in the second select's ncr column (iso8859-1), è (00e8) has been replaced with e through character set conversion going from server back to client.
Running the same code on a database with a db character set such as we8mswin1252, that doesn't define the č (latin small c with caron) character, would yield results with a c in the ncr column.
C:\>chcp 1250

Replace non ascii characters

I have a person that is called "josée".
I need "JOSEE" to be inserted into the database, not "JOSÃ©E".
I also have a person called "jürgen".
I need "JURGEN" to be inserted into the database.
Is there a way to do this ?
(replace the non-ascii character by his corresponding ascii character)

Thanks ebrian, I tried your suggestion:
SELECT VALUE, REGEXP_REPLACE(VALUE, '^[:ascii:]') FROM AUDIT_TAB_COLUMNS WHERE VALUE = '' ;
It sill leaves in the square unfortuneatly.

Removing Non-Ascii Characters from a String

Hi Everyone,
I would like to remove all NON-ASCII characters from a large string. For example, I am taking text from websites and would like to remove all the strange arabic and asian characters. How can I accomplish this?
Thank you in advance.

I would like to remove all NON-ASCII characters from a large string. I don't know if its a good method but try this:
str="\u6789gj";
output="";
for(char c:str.toCharArray()){
if((c&(char)0xff00)==0){
output=output+c;
System.out.println(output);
all the strange arabic and asian characters.Don't call them so.... I am an Indian Muslim ;-) ....
Thanks!

Validation for non-ASCII characters

Hi all,
Requirement: I have to apply a validation on on fields like Name and Address in applicationdefination.xml. When a user types non-ASCII characters and navigates to next page then it should display the error message. Thus, I have to restrict my user to ASCII values only.
Present Situation: I'm using regular expression for this problem. In Jheadstart there is an option regular expression under the heading Validation. I have written following values in regular expression and Regular Expression Error Message options.
Regular Expression
^\s*[\w\.\,\-\_\#\'\/\\\ u0022\u0026\*\;\:\s]+\s*$
Regular Expression Error Message
It is important to note that foreign characters are not accepted on our system. Please ensure only standard English letters are entered
Since, i was getting error in jspx page due to double quotes(") and ampercent(&), So i have replaced the double quotes(") and amprecent(&) by their unicodes. Thus, the expression has become like ^\s*[\w\.\,\-\_\#\'\/\\\u0022\u0026\*\;\:\s]+\s*$.
This expression is validating many characters like Ã,µ,Ç,Ï,Ö,§,¥,{,} but not all non ASCII characters like ѓ є ѕ ї Њ Щ Ώ Ω Ϊ Ά Ή Θ Λ Ξ Π τ ẫ ờ Ỡ Ứ Ỷ ự Ẁ ỹ ị Ọ ň ũ ť ţ Έ Ϊ ﻍ. Thus, its not fulfilling the requirement.
Please suggest some valid solution to this problem. It’s very urgent.

Hi,
The validation seems to be performed in Java or Javascript depending on the layout (I'm sorry I can't remember the exact details). The expression suggested above by theEternalStudent works very well in Java, but not in Javascript.
We came up with an expression which works in both. It rejects strings which contain &# by doing a lookahead before the main pattern - you might want to expand this to look for &#nnn; but for our purposes &# is enough.
Here is the "platform neutral" solution:
(?!.*\u0026#.*)^[\w\.\,\-\_\#\'\/\\\u0022\u0026\*\;\:\s]+$
I think in future we will write a javascript function and amend the templates to call it directly.
thanks,
Michael

Filling clob with non ascii characters

Hello,
I have had some problems with clobs and usage of german
umlauts (��). I was'nt able to insert or update
strings containing umlaute in combination with string
binding. After inserting or updating the umlaut
characters were replaced by strange (spanish) '?'
which were upside down.
However, it was working when I did not use string bindung.
I tried varios things, after some time I tracked
the problem down to to oracle.toplink.queryframework.SQLCall.java. In the
prepareStatement(...) you find something
like
ByteArrayInputStream inputStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(((String) parameter).getBytes());
// Binding starts with a 1 not 0.
statement.setAsciiStream(index + 1, inputStream,((String) parameter).getBytes().length);
I replaced the usage of ByteArrayInputStram with CharArrayReader:
// TH changed, 26.11.2003, Umlaut will not work with this.
CharArrayReader reader = new CharArrayReader(((String) parameter).toCharArray());
statement.setCharacterStream(index + 1, reader, ((String) parameter).length() );
and this worked.
Is there any other way achieving this? Did anyone
get clobs with non ascii characters to work?
Regards -- Tobias
(Toplink 9.0.3, Clob was mapped to String, Driver was Oracle OCI)

I don't think the console font is the problem. I use Lat2-Terminus16 because I read the Beginner's Guide on the wiki while installing the system.

showconsolefont even shows me the characters missing in the file names; e.g.: Ö, Ä, Ü

Removing non-numeric characters from string

Hi there,
I need to have the ability to remove non-numeric characters from a string and I do not know how to do this.
Does any one know a way?
Example:
Present String: (02)-2345-4607
Required String: 0223454607
Thanks in advance

Dear NickM
Try this this will work...........
create or replace function char2num(mstring in varchar2) return integer
is
-- Function to remove Special characters and alphebets from phone no. string field
-- Author - Valid Bharde.(India-Mumbai)
-- Date :- 20 Sept 2006.
-- This Function will return numeric representation.
-- The Folowing program is gifted to NickM with respect to his post on oracle site regarding Removing non-numeric characters from string on the said date
mstatus number :=0;
mnum number:=0;
mrefstring varchar2(50);
begin
mnum := length(mstring);
for x in 1..mnum loop
if (ASCII(substr(upper(mstring),x,1)) >= 48 and ASCII(substr(upper(mstring),x,1)) <= 57) then
mrefstring := mrefstring || substr(mstring,x,1);
end if;
end loop;
return mrefstring;
end;
copy the above program and use it at function for example

Non ascii characters being sent from a parameter in a form

Hi!
I have seen many topics posted on passing non ascii characters through parameters from one servlet to another and converting them into whatever format is necessary.
However, I have not seen anyone answer the following question. I have a jsp page (html) with the character encoding set to utf-8. The user inputs some data in to a text field which is inside a form. The data could be in non ascii characters such as hebrew or arabic. This form is then sent to another jsp where i try to retreive the data from teh text field. No matter what i do, i cannot get the data presented correctly. It is either question marks or other wierd symbols.
I have tried every permetation of encoding of the actual html page, the ecoding of the string from request.getParameter etc but it still is not presented on the new html page correctly.
Can anyone help??
Spencer

Ok, I solved the problem.
I had to put at the top request.setCharacterEncoding("utf-8");

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.

I don't think that the characters used are allowed. See this doc which only mentions three characters to be used .

Non ascii characters are padding without reason

Hi all,
here is my issue :
I have description field in my jsp page, when user enters some non ASCII characters as shown below :
This is user had entered the input string is :
"Hello Ã?Â?Ã?Â?Ã?Â?Ã?Â Hello" (without quotes)
When he edits for the first time without change anything in the the string and save, then it became :
"Hello Ã?Â?Ã?Â?Ã?Â?Ã?Â?Ã?Â?Ã?Â?Ã?Â?Ã? Hello" (without quotes)
Then again one more time, it became :
"Hello Ã?Â?Ã?Â?Ã?Â?Ã?Â?Ã?Â?Ã?Â?Ã?Â?Ã?Â?Ã?Â?Ã?Â?Ã?Â?Ã?Â?Ã?Â?Ã?Â?Ã?Â? Hello" (without quotes)
Like wise it is getting increased its size. I'm saving the data to Oracle 10g database from jsp.
Please suggest what to do to rectify the problem.
Thanks & regards,
Achchayya

A Download servlet: non-ASCII characters not working

This is my servlet used for file download:
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) {
String filepath = request.getParameter("filepath");
String filename = request.getParameter("filename");
response.setContentType("application/zip");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=\""+filename+"\";");
ServletOutputStream sos = null;
BufferedInputStream bis = null;
try {
    sos = response.getOutputStream();
    bis = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(source));
    byte buffer[] = new byte[2048];
    int c;
    while((c = bis.read(buffer)) != -1)
      sos.write(buffer, 0, c);
} catch(Exception e) {
} finally {
    bis.close();
    sos.close();
}It does not work when the filename contains non-ASCII characters (e.g., extended ASCII, CJK ...)
What do I fix this? Thanks!

One possiblitiy that occurs to me is you have too many encoding things going on and you are sorta "over-encoding" things, as it were....
All I can think to do is give you this sample JSP page that I created when I was trying to figure all this web encoding stuff with forms back in the day. So perhaps you can use this as a basis for your own page.

Remove of non-printable characters from string

Hi Gurus,
How can I achive that? I have a string in which sign "end of line" occurss. How can I delete them?
BR
Marcin Cholewczuk

Hi Marcin,
Just use a [REPLACE|http://help.sap.com/abapdocu_70/en/ABAPREPLACE.htm] with a regular expression (Assuming variable STRING holds your data):
replace all occurrences of regex '[\n\r]+' in STRING with ''.
Note that I replaced newline ('\n') - also called end of line - and carriage return ('\r') with nothing (matching your delete request). This might not be wanted if you have a true multiline string. If you're more paranoid and want to cover more cases, you might want to replace any non-displayable characters using '\[\[:print:\]\]+' as your search pattern. So if you want to replace non-displayable characters with a space and just kill it at the end of the string you could use something like this:
replace all occurrences of regex '[^[:print:]]+(?!$)' in STRING with ` `.
replace all occurrences of regex '[^[:print:]]+$' in STRING with ''.
Cheers, harald

Cannot login with password containing non-ascii characters

Hello,
I have web application, form based login. UTF-8 is specified "everywhere".
And it works, except for passwords.
If user register itself with password containing non-ascii characters, it is correctly written in database, but when doing either programmatic login or normal form based login, if fails.
If the password is only ascii, it works.
Username of login could be ascii or non-ascii, it doesn't matter, both works.
I'm using sun java application server 9.1.
jdbc realm.
I'm not using hashing passwords, just clean (now)
I tried configure realm Charset: UTF8 as last chance, but it doesn't work either.
The problem is only with non-ascii characters in password.
Any help very appreciated
Thanks a lot

hi,
I know all that, but that's not the case. My app uses preparedStatements, everything is properly configured, in all pages, utf-8 is going from user to db and back without any problems.
The only problem is with password field. As I am using form based login, with jdbc realm configured (again, nicely working when only ascii characters), I have very little chance to do something bad through the login phase.
I'm not talking about special characters, I'm talking about non-ascii characters, let's say - Chinese, arabish, Russian alphabet etc.
When user registers (my code), the fields are properly written to db. I have checked that, trust me.
But the Sun app server realm seems to have some problems with the password field.
(realm uses jdbc connection to mysql, the url contains all extra parameters to be sure about utf8. there is nothing more what can be configured...)
If I try other alphabet codes in login and ascii in password, it works. But soon, as I use other alphabet code also in password, it doesn't work anymore.
My only idea is, that I could try MD5 to create ascii only characters (I hope it works that way) on the client with javascript and then set Digest to MD5 in realm configuration. But still, it seems very strange. The clear way storage should also function? (now set Digest to 'none')
Is it a bug of Sun App Server?
thanks

Problems with non-ASCII characters on Linux Unit Test Import

I found a problem with non-ASCII characters in the Unit Test Import for Linux. This problem does not appear in the Unit Test Import for Windows.
I have attached a Unit Test export called PROC1.XML It tests a procedure that is included in another attachment called PROC1.txt. The unit test includes 2 implementations. Both implementations pass non-ASCII characters to the procedure and return them unchanged.
In Linux, the unit test import will change the non-ASCII characters in the XML file to xFFFD. If I copy/paste the the non-ASCII characters into the Unit Test after the import, they will be stored and executed correctly.
