[solved] Non-alphanumeric characters broken in TinyChat

Hello, fellow archers.
I've been having a bit of trouble with the TinyChat site. Most non-alphanumeric characters are being displayed as crossed-out boxes. This problem is exclusive to TinyChat and has not occured in any other Flash applications.
An example of the broken characters:
Note how the / and > characters are not broken.
This is the second installation of ArchLinux on my computer, the problem occured on the current install only. I suspect the problem is caused by a missing package, though the only hint I was able to find was installing the ttf-ms-fonts package (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/br … ash_Player). This did not resolve the issue.
Package versions:
firefox 34.0.5-1
flashplugin 11.2.202.425-1
I'll gladly provide any other information that could help resolve this issue.

Whops. The subject length was exactly at the maximum length, and since I couldn't edit the title any further, I thought a moderator had to edit it. Apologies!

Non-alphanumeric characters in textarea causing 404 errors

I'm only just becoming acquainted with Coldfusion, as I've been asked to fix a problem in an existing system. The system consists of a simple html form containing a text area, among other input fields. The form is submitted to a cfm script, which displays a confirmation page and sends a couple of emails. The problem is that whenever the user enters any (as far as I can tell) non-alphanumeric characters, e.g. quotes, commas or brackets, in the textarea field, they get a 404 response from the server.
I tried a number of things to identify the problem, including escaping the text in javascript before submission, but didn't get anywhere. The last thing I tried was installing a local version of the CF on my workstation, hoping to reproduce the problem and thus debug it more easily. However, on my local CF setup the problem does not occur.
Can anyone help me debug this please? Thanks,
Marcin

Thanks for your response. The form method is "post". The only thing that the CFM handler does with this field (gametestexperience) is include it at the bottom of an email message:

How to support non alphanumeric characters when using WORLD_LEXER?

BASIC_LEXER has an attribute of printjoins which we can specify the non alphanumberic characters as normal alphanumberic in query and included with the token. However, WORLD_LEXER doesn't have this attribute. So in order to use some non alphanumberic characters and treat them as alphanumberic characters in Oracle Text Index, such as ><$, what should I can?
Thanks in advance for any help.

I use WORLD_LEXER to create Oracle Text Index to support UTF-8.
Below is the script to create table and index:
REM Create table
CREATE TABLE my_test
( id VARCHAR2(32 BYTE) NOT NULL,
code VARCHAR2(100 BYTE) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT "my_test_pk" PRIMARY KEY ("id"));
REM create index
exec ctx_ddl.create_preference('stars_lexer','WORLD_LEXER');
exec ctx_ddl.create_preference('stars_wordlist', 'BASIC_WORDLIST');
exec ctx_ddl.set_attribute('stars_wordlist','substring_index','TRUE');
exec ctx_ddl.set_attribute('stars_wordlist','PREFIX_INDEX','TRUE');
-- create index for Table corrosion level
CREATE INDEX my_test_index
ON my_test(code)
INDEXTYPE IS CTXSYS.CONTEXT
PARAMETERS ('LEXER stars_lexer STOPLIST stars_stop WORDLIST stars_wordlist SYNC(EVERY "SYSDATE+5/1440") TRANSACTIONAL');
INSERT INTO my_test('1', 'English word1');
INSERT INTO my_test('2', '违违');
INSERT INTO my_test('3', '违违&^|违违');
When I query:
select * from corrosion_levels r where contains(r.CORROSION_LEVEL, '{%违${|违%}') > 0
ID CODE
3 违违$(|违违
2 违违
Actually, the result what I want is: 3 违违$(|违违
So the requirement is that all non-alphanumeric characters should be treated as normal alphanumeric charcters. Please tell me how to implement it.

i.e.
I have a table with 10 columns and FAT file contains 11 columns.

and
I added extra column to Table and I changed the control file too.

Hot to set the Non-alphanumeric characters attribute?

Hello,
I'm developing an asp.net application using the oracle membership provider. I have installed the databse objects in an Oracle 9i and when I try to create a new user, It always asks me to consider at least 1 Non-alphanumeric character in the password, even if I put in the web.config file the minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0" attribute. Is there another way to set the Non-alphanumeric characters to "0".
Thanks.

Workaround: set 0 for minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters attribute in your machine.config for OracleMembershipProvider. The defalt value is 1. The typical location of machine.config is in %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG.

RegEx in TSQL - replace non-alphanumeric characters etc

Hi guys, I have this function in VB that I used in Access to replace all non-alphanumeric characters, including spaces and anything in brackets.
Public Function charactersonly(inputString As String) As String
Dim RE As Object
Set RE = CreateObject("vbscript.regexp")
RE.Pattern = "$[^)]+$|[^\w]|_"
RE.Global = True
charactersonly = RE.Replace(inputString, "")
Set RE = Nothing
End Function
Now, I moved to SQL server and I'm writing scripts to do same thing.
How can I use RegEx in TSQL?
Only thing I will do is that function.

As alternative
declare @string varchar(200)
set @string = 'gg$%^^&is%^& s2342jjk23&&({}e c76l232e+_+a#n/ c][#o''y#e'
select cast(cast((select substring(@string,n,1)
from numbers
where n <= len(@string)
and substring(@string,n,1) like '[0-9 ]' for xml path('')) as xml)as varchar(max))

Non-alphanumeric characters part of a word?

Hi,
When searching using "23" the users have complained that it brings back terms like 23:00 and www.bob.....html?q=23. It's a bit of a long stretch but is there anyway to disregards those item.
I expect I'll probably end up explaining to the users that non-alphanumeric characters are regarded in the same was as white spaces, but is this a general standard, and is there a link to more information anywhere?
Cheers

You could make your colon and equal sign printjoins or skipjoins.

Account Codes with non Alphanumeric characters

I have a customer who has Business Partner Codes which contain non Alphanumeric characters :
space
full stop
apostrophe
forward slash
hyphen
Will this cause issues with the operation of any aspect of Webtools - what if anything should I watch out for since these cannot be changed?

Why do imported non-alphanumeric characters get corrupted ?

(I asked this ages ago and it never got solved so I'm having another go).
When I import tracks to iTunes that I have titled myself (i.e. not from CDs or downloads), characters that are non-alphanumeric (e.g. " ? !) get corrupted to a _ on import.
Why is this bug occurring? (It's been around since iTunes 6 at least) and how do I stop it?

Look in Library/Fonts and yourusername/Library/Fonts for instances of the Lucida Grande font.
Some applications install their own version of Lucida Grande causing conflicts with the Apple version, which is installed with Mac OS X and resides in: System/Library/Fonts.
Because Lucida is used to display text in Mac OS X menus, buttons and the library lists of iTunes, they can get messed up as a result.
One particular app - and I would dearly like to know which one, changes the text in iTunes to Hebrew letters. Lots of posts here about that one.

Validation for Unique Name and Non-AlphaNumeric Characters

Hi All,
How to do Unique name and Non-Alpha Numeric Characters Validation?
Name should be unique and only allow alphanumeric characters.
Where all validations must be done? In EOImpl or any other file?
Plz help
Thanks,
Sk

SK
Here are the steps you need to perform to check duplicate Employee Names need not entered by user.
First create a VVO in your schema.server package(that of EO) with the following query.Generate both VVOImpl and VVORowImpl file.
select full_name
from fwk_tbx_employees
where full_name =:1Now add this VVO to your VAM means give instance to it.
Now open the VVOImpl and write below code to execute query based on new name entered by user
    public void initQuery(String name)
      setWhereClauseParams(null); // Always reset
      setWhereClauseParam(0, name);
      executeQuery();
    }Now open Your Entity Expert class and add below method in it
   public boolean isEmployeeNameExists(String name)
     boolean isExists = false;
           // Note that we want to use a cached, declaratively defined VO instead of creating
           // one from a SQL statement which is far less performant.
     EmployeeNameVVOImpl employeeNameVVO =
       (EmployeeNameVVOImpl)findValidationViewObject("EmployeeNameVVO1");
     employeeNameVVO.initQuery(name);
     // We're just doing a simple existance check. If we don't find a match, return false.
     if (employeeNameVVO.hasNext())
       isExists = true;
     return isExists;
   }Now you need to call this expert class method from setter method of EOImpl for name.so Open your EOImpl file and go to setter method of name
      if ((value != null) || (!("".equals(value.trim()))))
        EmployeeEntityExpert expert = getEmployeeEntityExpert(getOADBTransaction());
        if (!(expert.isEmployeeNameExists(value)))
            throw new OAException("Duplicate Employee Name", OAException.ERROR);
      }Remember to write code above setAttributeInternal.
Hope it helps!!!!
Let me know if you have queries in it.
Thanks

Removing all non-alphanumeric characters

Can anyone tell me where I can find a list of all "illegal" non-alphanumerci characters that I am not to use in any of file names. It was brought to my attention that bullets can really mess my system up.
Some of my font folders have TM's (trademark) and some have "_" (underscores). What's the deal with those? Are they allowed? What about asteriks?
I've got lots of questions about this so if anyone can shed some light, I'd appreciate it! Thanks

OS X proscribed chars (from Help)
"You cannot include a colon (:) in a filename or start a filename with a period (.). Some applications may not allow you to use a slash (/) in a filename."
.Mac is more restrictive, as are some other operating systems.

Validation for Non-AlphaNumeric characters

Hi All,
I want to do Validation for Non-Alpha Numeric characters.
While saving record, Name should only allow alphanumeric(letters and numbers only) characters, No special characters.
How to do this?
Plz help
Thanks,
Sk

SK
In EOImpl file in setter method of Name you can write below logic
import java.util.regex.*;
public void setLastName(String value)
    Pattern p = Pattern.compile("[^a-zA-Z0-9]");
    Matcher m = p.matcher(value);
        if (m.find()){
            System.out.println("last Name"+value);
            throw new OAException("Special Characters Not allowed in Name", OAException.ERROR);
       setAttributeInternal(LASTNAME, value);
} Hope it helps!!!!

[SOLVED]Non-English Characters Issue

I have a file that should be named Gцtterdдmmerung but the ц and д are replaced with question marks. The file is listed as non-existent in the file browser (which is Dolphin - I run KDE 4.5) - I cannot access it at all. Any help would be appreciated.
Last edited by AVW (2011-01-17 02:50:39)

It seems to be an issue with these particular files - I can do this
touch Gцtterdдmmerung
ls
Gцtterdдmmerung
and it even displays in the file browser.
EDIT: I was able to fix it myself. I just used the magic of tab completion and renamed everything via the terminal. The names must've been somehow damaged - the files are intact! Thanks for the attempt at helping - it is greatly appreciated.

How to replace non-alphanumeric characters with " " in a String?

Hi,
Anyone can help with this?
I guess I should use the replaceAll-method??

I need to keep characters that are generally ok to
use in
sentences, like ".", ",", "!", and "-" and alsoall
digits and letters
(numbers and alphabetic characters).Add those characters to the pattern in that case. Add
them just before ]
but placing the '-' char as the last in the list.

Non-Alphanumeric Characters In Playlist Names

A long time ago, I created 5 smart playlists on my 40 gig, 3rd generation iPod. Each one corresponds to songs that are rated with 1 through 5 stars, respectively. It's pretty handy 'cuz I can listen to songs and rate them on the fly and these 5 playlists will update instantaneously. I eventually found a "star" character that I could copy and paste into the playlist name of my iTunes source list and it was actually saved to, and viewable on my iPod! It looked pretty cool! Then I found this: "." My stars were immediately replaced by apples and now my iPod playlists looks like this:
Pretty cool, but... I can't find the "star" character anymore. I've searched Text Edit and Appleworks fonts, (but not very thoroughly.) I'm sure there's a really simple Script that can find what I'm talking about, but I'm not very script-savvy. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? BTW, here's a list of characters that y'alls can copy and paste into your iTunes that even a 3rd gen iPod can display:

Nevermind. Found it! Appleworks font Zapf Dingbats shift-h. Here it is: "★."
Enjoy! This works too, "✖."
Thanx anywho!!
