Special Characters and Importing .TXT files

I am trying to import a .txt file that has special Characters. The ñ works correct, but the ® does not import correctly. Any Ideas?

What is strange is that if I open the .txt file up on a windows machine the ® is there.
When placing your text file, check the "Import Options" box. You can choose platform, encoding, and, um, um, something else. But you need to specify Windows platform, I think. You might need to specify your encoding as well. You can use an app like TextWrangler or Ultraedit or something else to figure out your text encoding. Or you can use the Drunkard's Walk algorithm: just keep trying encodings randomly until you find the one that works.

Error while handling special characters ( and &) in Sender File adapter

Dear All,
Scenario: Third Party System --> (File adapter) SAP PI 7.1 (SP05) --> (Proxy) ECC
We are receiving CSV file and no mapping is required in PI as all the processing is being done by third party tool. But we are receiving special characters like ',",>,< and & in the csv file.
When we are using File Type as TEXT and File Encoding as ISO-8859-1 than we are getting error. We changed File Type to BINARY and than we are able to handle ',",> but having issue in handling < and &.
Any idea how we can handle it.
Please note trhere is no Mapping in SAP PI so cannot uise Java mapping.
Thanks a lot
Chanakya

Hey,
You can add ABAP Script in Receiver Proxy for eliminating or replacing with NULL or empty. Since you dont have mapping for formatting these kind of junks you can follow the above approach.
Else, you can remove the junks at OS level while running a small script and make it available to PI.
Or else, you need to create mapping for sender and recevier structure though it is same, then you add a very simple UDF for fine tune.
Use this UDF
Here a is the input value.
String b = "";
b = a.replaceAll(",", "0");
b = a.replaceAll("@", "0");
Like all the special characters you can take and replace with zero.
return b;
Thanx

Special Characters and spaces in Tablenames and Column Names are allowed ?

Hi
I have created two tables in Oracle10g
as follows
SQL> create table test(columna number,columnb varchar2(20),primary key(columna));
Table created.
SQL> insert into test values(1,'test');
1 row created.
SQL> commit;
COMMIT är utfört.
SQL> create table "test quote"("#" number,abc number,primary key("#"));
Table created.
SQL> insert into "test quote" values(1,2);
1 row created.
SQL> commit;
COMMIT är utfört.
SQL> select * from "test quote";
# ABC
1 2
SQL> select * from test;
COLUMNA COLUMNB
1 test
Now I want to cache the tables and their data into TimesTen
The cache group for table test which is not having any spaces and special characters in table name and column names is created perfectly.
But when I create the cache group for table "test quote" which is having special characters and spaces it gives error :
Command>create readonly cache group w2 from testuser.test(columna number,columnb varchar2(20),primary key(columna));
Command>select * from test;
<1,test>
1 row found.
Command>create readonly cache group w3 from testuser."test quote"("#" number,abc number,primary key("#"));
5140: Could not find TESTUSER.TEST QUOTE in Oracle. May not have privileges.
Command Failed.
Now there is contradiction that why cache group for table test is created successfully and why it is not being created for table "test quote".
What I think is if special characters and spaces in column names and table names are possible in Oracle then it sould be possible in TimesTen.
Any possible solution.
Looking forward for your reply.
Please help I am stuck badly.

Hi
Problem Solved ....... Remeber only Capital letters work with special characters ......

Import txt file into user dictionary

How to import text file into user dictionary through javascript? I can manually import txt file into user dictionary thru "Edit=>Spelling=>User dictionary...". But I don't know how to do it using javascript. Please advise.

Advice? See in some version of the object-model reference under userDictionary. There you'll find a method called addWord(), which looks promising.

Special Characters and Structures

For MathScript Nodes, I am trying to locate some Help for special characters and structures such as the proper ways of defining arrays, structures etc. and how and when to use ( ), { }, [ ], colons, commas, semicolons, etc. Can someone point me to this information? Thanks Jeff

Hi Jeff,
Yes, 2D array is acceptable in MathScript.
I will try to give detail about your question. If I miss anything, please let me know.
Define array - You should use [ ] to define and initialize an array. For example, A = [1 2 3; 4 5 6; 7 8 9] defines A to be a 3-by-3 matrix. Comma or space character separates element by element in one row. And, semicolon character separates row by row.
[ ] - Another situation to use [ ] is to define a function. You should use [ ] to specify output, such as function [a, b] = foo(g, h).
( ) - Parenthesis is widely used in MathScript. 1) In a formula, parenthesis gives high priority to calculations within it, such as a*(b+c); 2) It is used in function call, such as sin(a); 3) It is used to specify input when you define a function.
{ } - MathScript can not accept cell array by now. Therefore, { } is not used.
' ' - Single quotation is used to define a string variable, such as b = 'MathScript'.
; - Semicolon is used to separates row in matrix or end a command, such as c = sin(1);. If you end a command with semicolon, it suppress the display out in MathScript Window. This does not work in MathScript Node.
... - It is used to separate a long formula into two lines, such as
d = 1*...
(2+3)

Reading special characters from a flat file and inserting into DB

I'm reading data with special characters like . etc from a flat file , assigning the data to variable in my anonymous block and inserting into my DB. But the show up as inverted ? s. Any clues about how to do this?
If i try to do the insert directly it works. It seems like the error occurs when reading this data into a variable
thanks for the help
Lalit Bhatia

lalit, this is probably an character set problem, the default on Database creation tends to be 7bit Ascii which does not support special characters, it's been a while since I set up a db in this way, but you need to change settings in oracle.ini. The db will need to be restarted for this. Also, to check current settings try:
select * from NLS_DATABASE_PARAMETERS
You want an 8bit, unicode or multibyte character set. Sorry I cannot remember moer off the top of my head, try searching on NLS or character set

Importing txt file and placing in set up autoflow text

Hi there
I'm not really an indesign user so I am extremely new to the product.
I am wanting to place a text file into a (now) indesign template (was pagemaker) and into an autoflow text area where the text flows from one page to another. I want to overwrite what is in the current document with this new text but wanting the new text to fill the correct pages of the template.
My question is what is the fastest way to make this happen?
The auto flow is already set from the pagemaker template;
The txt file has separated the text by tabs across the page.
Your assistance would greatly be appreciated.
Cheers

Without giving you a full lesson on how to format text in InDesign, I'm hoping the template contains, Text Frame placeholders (it sounds from your description that it does) Paragraph and Character styles at least to format the .txt file once the new text is in the document?
Use your Type tool, click in the existing text and Ctrl/Cmd+A (Edit > Select All). Then choose File > Place and navigate to your .txt file to replace currently selected text. Then format the text with appropriate paragraph styles etc.
If particular text must start on a new page, in a different frame or column, then you could insert break characters where needed (Type > Insert Break Character). I'd generally advice that the break information -- where linked to a particular paragraph style -- is set as part of the paragraph style itself.
You might also want to consult the InDesign Help to learn a bit more about all of this.
Good luck,
Cari

Bullet character in imported TXT file

I am importing an external TXT file into a dynamic text box
in my SWF file using Actionscript (see AS below).
I want the text to read as a bulleted list.
I tried typing the bullet character (Option + 8 on Mac), but
this gave me Yen symbols when I previewed the movie.
Then I tried the HTML code <UL>, <LI>, etc.,
which just showed exactly as typed when previewed.
I also tried the HTML code for this character ()
but this also showed exactly as typed when previewed.
How do I create the bullet character in Flash? Is there a
reference for creating all types of special characters in Flash?
Or is there a simple way to create a bulleted list?
Many Thanks,
Nathan
My system specifications:
Mac OS 10.4.10
Flash CS3

for html content you would need to use external_txt.htmlText
= event.target.data;. also embed the basic font and the specific
"•" character
if you wanted to go the character code route you would have
to strip the character code from the string first and replace it
with a bullet.

Hope someone can help me!

Importing txt-files in Labview

Hello,
I am a beginner in programming labview applications so its possible my next question is very easy to program but i dont know how
My question is about importing a txt-file (csv-format) in labview. This txt-file is updated every 10 minutes and I want to visualise the last values every 10 minutes. These values must be written in several indicators (example: 10 coloms -> 10 indicators)
Next is a copy of the txt-file (this one is updated every second).
17/05/2005 0:00:03,-0.2015457,13.99473,88.62115,-108.5054,25.05078,25.98672,26.86344,-8.207347E-03,-0.9357101,-0.9123873,-0.9192927,

I found a template (Load file from and display) thats displays a value from a txt-file.
In the block: "Read LabView Measurement File" its possible to select an option to read from a generic text file, with the right delimiter and decimal point sign (, and .) and when i press the button read file now i see the values in the txt-file. But when I run the program i get a error with possible reason "End of file encountered".
Next I put in the block "Wait until next ms Multiple" put still the same error appears.
So this doesnt work!
How can I solve my problem? Can somebody give me some usefull tips? Has someone else encountered this problem yet? ....
Thank you.
Regards,
Kevin Duerloo

Hi Kevin
Do you mind posting your VI ? Or are u only using the supplied example and nothing else ?
Could it be your programm (which creates the file) doesn't close it when it's done creating?
Try rebooting the system and immediately after that try the labview thing. Does the error still occur ?
Hello,
I'm only using the supplied example, the programm closes when it's done creating and rebooting doenst help.
The error means end of file encountered so i think the file isnt updated quick enough for labview. I'm going to try error handling like JorisV said. I will keep you informed if this works or doesnt (I have a lot work so this will not be earlier than tomorrow)
Thank you for the replies.
