Show different characters in the shell

when a program wait that the user press the enter key from the shell, because of it uses the instruction System.in.read(). I want to know if exist a manner to display different characters, like ' * ' for example in a password request, Please Help me.

That would depend on the shell. If you are asking about a DOS box, not in standard Java. Other shells, probably not either.

You could just try changing your Input Sources under System Preferences>Language & Text:
But I kind of doubt that's going to work. It may be a hardware problem or a system problem. If you take it into Apple they might be able to determine which and might advise a reinstallation of System software. I would take it to an Apple Store or an AASP but, first, make sure that you have a backup just in case they suggest a clean install of the system.
Good luck,

I have a macbookpro with a second monitor connected using an Apple connector. The two screens show different parts of the desktop. My cat walked across the keyboard, and now the two monitors are showing the same thing. How do I undo what the cat did?

Have you tried HELP in FINDER? If you open HELP and enter 'displays' in the field in the upper right hand corner you will get a list of topics on setting up monitors. Specifically read 'Setting up multiple displays to show the same image' and 'Setting up multiple displays as an extended desktop'.

Discoverer Report showing invalid characters in the report data

Hi,
Can you please help me. I have designed a discoverer report in discoverer desktop 4i, when it is running the data showing some invalid characters in the data like below.
kara¿ah L¿MAK HOLD¿NG A.¿
I have executed the same query in sql plus at that time the data shows correctly. Please let me know, is there any settings required.
Best Regards,
Umamaheshwar.

Hi Umamaheshwar
This could be a registry setting. Let me give you some background. In the Windows registy, every Oracle Home has a setting called NLS_LANG. This is the variable that controls, among other things, the numeric characters and the language used. The variable is made up of 3 parts. These are:
language_territory.characterset
Notice how there is an underscore character between the first two variables and a period between the last two. This is very important and must not be changed.
So, for example, most American settings look like this: AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252
The second variable, the territory, controls the default date, monetary, and numeric formats and must correspond to the name of a country. So if I wanted to use the Greek settings for numeric formatting, editing the NLS_LANG for Discoverer Desktop to this setting will do the trick:
AMERICAN_GREECE.WE8MSWIN1252
Can you please check your settings? Here's a workflow:
a) Open up your registry by running Regedit
b) Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE
c) Look for the Oracle Home corresponding to where Discoverer Desktop is installed. It's probably called KEY_ORANT
d) Clicking on the Oracle Home will display all of the variables
e) Take a look at the variable called NLS_LANG - if it is correct Exit the registry
f) If its not correct please right-click on it and from the pop-up select Modify
f) Change the variable to the right setting
g) Click the OK button to save your change
h) Exit the registry
Best wishes

I am still having issues with the TOC. I finally got several chapters and sections to show different pictures in the TOC, but have spent hours trying to figure out how to repeat it. This should be so simple. Is there an update? Please help us Apple.

I am still having issues with the TOC pictures. I got several chapter/section photos to show up, but can't seem to repeat this success. It is some mystery that happened during a time that I had practically given up. This should be such a simple thing. Drag and place a picture into the placeholder and it shows up in the TOC....right? Help, help help! want to get this thing done and it's taken two days of work just get some of the photos to show up. I am going to have to publish this ibook with no photos in several sections.....why can't this be simple? I have even had someone else spend hours trying to figure this out. This software is such a GREAT idea....come on...help with this little part of it.

I had the same problem myself. I got to the point where I couldn't replace the photo, of a new chapter, in the TOC. What I did was to duplicate an existing chapter that was working and was able to replace it's TOC's photo. I also found that if you try different areas of the photo you can sometimes get it to replace correctly. For example, instead of dragging the new photo to the middle of an existing photo, try dragging it to the right top corner.

Keychain showing different character for the password

Hi just wanted to ask why my keychain is showing different character for my password in my AIM and Yahoo account? When i mark the show password its show plenty of letters but not the one i am really using. How can i show the right one?

Hi Irvin,
If you see a crazy corrupt password, I'd delete that item, ythen login yo AIM or Yahoo again to create a new one, unless you don't remember your PW, then try Keychain First Aid under the Window Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over.

If Keychain First Aid finds an issue that it cannot repair, or if you do not know your keychain password, you may need to reset your keychain.

LR2 and PS Eelements8 show different RGB for the same color - Please, HELP

LR2, Elements 8, Color Chart 24 (CC24),
Please help. I may need to reset LR2 to factory default or to something else.
For the following RAW adjustments the tone curve set to Linear, Contrast and Brightness to 0
I have photographed a CC24 in RAW. Opened image in Elements 8 and adjusted Exposure to 243 for the White patch #19
Then with with WB tool clicked on the 50% Gray and then readjusted exposure for the CC24 listed 243 for #19.
Now all Gray patches #19 through #24 as listed in the table or very close R=G=B (243, 200, 160, 122, 85, 52)
The RGB numbers for Red Patch #15 are R=169, G=58, B=63
The CC24 listed RGB for Red patch #15 are R=175, G=54, B=60
Also saved the adjusted image as JPG
Then opened the image in LR2 and adjusted exposure and WB as described above for Elements 8.
The Gray patches #19 through #24 show RGB numbers as listed in the table or very close.
The RGB numbers for the Red patch #15 are R=138, G=84, B=64.
However the CC24 RGB for Red patch #15 are R=175, G=54, B=60
Exported the image as JPG
Then opened the two saved JPG images in Elements. these two images read almost identical RGB numbers for each patch.
How can I fix LR2 RGB reading. Recently I have saved as defaults the tone curve set to Linear, Contrast and Brightness to 0 and probably did it wrong. My be I need to reset LR2 to the factory defaults to restore its correct reading or something else.
Please help.
Leonid

Q1. Is that means that when LR2 Exported RAW to JPG the correct numbers resulted from conversion?
You should be careful with the term RGB numbers. Such numbers are only useful when you know the working space. For example, sRGB, adobeRGB, prophotoRGB, melissaRGB, etc. The numbers I calculated are simply the reference numbers (find them here: http://www.brucelindbloom.com/index.html?ColorCheckerRGB.html ). I recalculated the values in the display space used in Lightroom from Bruce Lindbloom's values in normal prophotoRGB which is a simple arithmetic excercise. When Lightroom exports a jpeg, you can set the color space in the export panel and it will do the conversion for you meaning that it will translate between its internal colorspace and the desired export color space. In an external program, you will usually be working in sRGB, adobeRGB, or prophotoRGB, which are the three main spaces that Lightroom exports to. As you can see from Bruce's tables in the link above the RGB values for these patches in all these spaces are different.
For example RGB for MacBeth CC24 Red patch (#15) was shown as 203, 0, 0 and x-rite RGB is 174, 54, 60.
They are actually the exact same chart. As I say above the values are meaningless if you don't know the colorspace. The first RGB triplet you quote makes no sense at all. It does not correspond to any colorspace listed for the MacBeth chart. The zeros indicate that the color is far outside of the gamut of the used color space, so the value is basically useless. The second is sort of close to the sRGB value.
Q.2 Would it mean that your shown table should not be applied to (used with) x-rite CC24 but to MacBeth only?
They should be pretty good for both as the chart is supposed to be the same.
Q3. Have you created your posted LR table or it was provided by Adobe?
I created it myself. Since you have a colorchecker, you should look into creating a camera profile using it. This can be done with X-rite's excellent passport utility (free download from their website), or with Adobe's free DNG profile Editor. Simply shoot a chart in the right light conditions and run the raw/dng file through this utility and a profile is created that will allow you to get very good color rendering from your camera if you shoot raw.

Mozilla and IE show different applications referencing the same URL

Hi, I have a very strange problem.
I deployed a web app, using Sun App Server 9, directly from a directory of the server. Then I made some changes and redeployed the application. But IE still showing me the app before the changes, and Mozilla shows me the application after the changes.

I solved this problem,
The two browsers showed the same jsp's, but different non jsp files, such as js, and css. I only had to refresh the page.

Inputting non-visual characters from the shell (command line)

is it possible to capture user input from the command line (using System.in or any other available method) that contains characters that are not printing characters and are not legal in a java.lang.String? i.e. is it possible to write a program that recognizes the arrows and CTRL, SHIFT, and ALT keys as input without using graphical (Swing or AWT) classes in the program?

No. Shift, ALT and CTRL are key modifiers. Perhaps JCurses would allow you to check for these modifiers as Swing does.

Identify and show Special Characters in the SQL result set

Hi all,
The values in a column (SC - colunm name) has special characters. For eg. 496+>9, 223'32, 167&45. Is there any function in Oracle that would give me the below result when i query that colum.
select SC from xyz;
Result should be as follows:
496+>9
223'32
167&45
Thanks in advance.

yes it will have numbers and characters also along with the special characters
The results from my previous post was wrong. Here is the expected results;
496+>9
223'32
167&45
can you give me the exact query to get the above resultant.
Thank you

Calls Routed, Offered and answered showing different figures on the Call_type_Interval table

Hi all
I am totally confused by so data that I am seeing for several call types on the Call_Type_Interval table. Our interval is set to 30 minutes
The issue confusing me is as follows (example):
I can see 679 calls offered (Call_Type_Interval.CallsOffered) but for the same interval I have 731 calls routed (Call_Type_Interval.CallsRouted) and 731 calls answered (Call_Type_Interval.CallsAnswered) .
Can anyone explain what is causing this. Why is calls offered less than calls routed and answered.
Any guidance that could be given would be extremely appreciated.
Kind regards
Stewart

Hi,
could you please reveal more about your call routing? Is there any IVR involved? Queuing?
CallsOffered means within the specified half-hour interval this many calls has "gone through" the specified Call Type.
CallsAnswered means within the specified half-hour interval this many calls were answered after the specified Call Type. But this does not necessarily mean that all the calls that have been answered at this interval, had gone through the Call Type in the same interval. If, for instance, there's an IVR after the Call Type, or a prompt, that might insert enough time to have a call answering moment slip to the next interval.
CallsRouted: for this many calls the script execution terminated in the specified interval (but also this does not necessarily mean the call was answered or handled - all we know is that the script execution stopped).
In this case, in 731 cases the script execution stopped (Routed) simply because the agent answered (CallsAnswered) the call.
I hope this makes sense.

Special characters in the combo box

Hi OIM Gurus,
I have populated some values with special characters in combo box,when i select the option it should show me the result set ,instead it shows"Illegal Characters Entered
The data provided contains special characters that are not allowed. "
is look-up a good option ? or any other fix for the combo box?
Thanks in advance,
Cats Paw

I forget what I used (combo box, enum, etc) but I tried to put a + and - sign in and switch between the two. While the - sign showed up correctly, when the user went to select from the drop down, it was a separator! Not very intuitive! I thought a \ would escape it, but no luck.

Junk Characters in the Output of Reports2.5

I have created Report in Reports2.5 which is giving good output display
But when I Register the Report in Oracle Apps & see output
it shows Junk Characters in the place of Labels
e.g. Revenue Report
will come like sg0Revenue o7Report
Can any-one give me the solution for this
Regards / Shailesh ( [email protected] )

This is probably due to the prt file that's being used to format the output. I'm willing to bet that the headings are in bold, and the prt file being used has includes some control characters to tell the printer to switch on and off bold - when you view the output file those are the characters you're seeing.
To switch this off simply remove the control characters from the prt file being used.
Hope this helps,
Danny
