Special Characters and the Character Palate
I am trying to type a composition for my Italian class. I need to insert a few accent marks. Common sense tells me that I should use the "special characters" option on the edit menu, and a little research explains that a character palate should pop up. However, when I click special characters, nothing happens! What do I do?
Thank you for your help!
Jennifer,
Do I understand correctly that you are calling up the Character Palette (using, e.g. Edit/Special Characters...) and nothing happens, i.e. no Palette pops up?
If yes, then Tom Genecke provided this link:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=307354
which solved the problem for me right away.
As for international characters, I warmly recommend including the US-Extended Keyboard in your layout (System Preferences/International/Input Menu). This allows you to use shortcuts for characters such as à or ì (Alt-`/~ (top left hand corner of your US keyboard) followed by the letter a or i, respectively), or é, á, or í (Alt-e followed by e,a, or i). And a host of others.
Good luck on your composition!
Michael

The blank pop up began as I tried to access "special characters" from the finder menu. I restarted, turned off and restarted and it did not work. It interferes with any application because I cannot work fast. Every new step takes a few seconds longer such as saving, finding text, check spelling and many more. I am desperate to solve this. Thanks in advance for any help given.
Consuelo CorretjerUse the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps. -
Special Characters in the payload
Hi,
We are receiving Payload from Source Service Provider with some special characters “ and � as shown below:
“Maintenance Documentation Library� under “Transformer Bushings Survey�
Those Special Characters are actually double quotes.
“Maintenance Documentation Library” under “Transformer Bushings Survey” .
PI While reading the payload is taking it as a special character. JMS is the sender adapter we are using.
Is there any way to handle this without writing any module or Java Mapping??
Regards
SrilathaHi Srilatha,
You can try to change the character encoding with the standard modules like this document point out: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/502991a2-45d9-2910-d99f-8aba5d79fb42?overridelayout=t…
From my own experience it is more useful to have a general java mapping to avoid this problem and to use it in all the required scenarios-

Issue while generating MD5 if there are any special characters in the CLOB
Hi Guys,
I need your help...
We are using dbms_crypto.hash to generate the MD5 hash value for a CLOB that will be sent to other feeder systems. The feeder systems validate the file by generating the MD5 hash value on their end and compare with the MD5 generated in Oracle and accept the file only if the MD5 hash value matches.
The MD5 file matches between both the systems except in the case where there are special characters in the CLOB. Somehow, MD5 is prefixing  character before any special character and calculating the MD5 value. In our case, our special characters being ®, §, ™, ©....
This is a high priority issue for us and it is holding our UAT.
We are using Oracle 11.2.0.2.0.
Your response is really appreciated.
Best Regards

See if my reply in this thread addresses your problem.
Re: MD5 HASH computed from DBMS_CRYPTO does not match .NET MD5
The fix in almost all of these cases is to understand that the Crypto package always converts everything to AL32UTF8 before hashing.
ALWAYS.
ALWAYS.
ALWAYS.
Unless the 'other' hash generators (substitute any generator you wish) do it the Oracle way you will NEVER get a match.
NEVER.
NEVER.
NEVER.

Special characters in the shared key when importing firewalls
Hello
We are using CWVMS to import and configure PIX firewalls.
The shared isakmp key of one of the firewalls has not been accepted during import because it contains special characters.
The problem is that the customer does not have authority to change the key.
Does Management Center for Firewalls really accept only alphanumeric isakmp keys ? Is there another alternative to changing the key ?
Thank you sincerely for your help.I am not sure what your problem is. But ISAKMP keys can be changed directly on the PIX using the command line interface. I have not used any special character in the ISAKMP keys. Can anyone confirm that special characters can be used within ISAKMP keys?

Entering special characters at the command line.
I'm writing a simple program in java that automates certain processes in learning a foreign language.
This includes holding a database of vocabulary within the context of a sentence and testing a student on words they have encountered.
Nothing too tricky, except that I am having trouble with entering special characters at the command line. I'm not really surprised by this and was hoping that someone could help me.
I'm using a mixture of Solaris 8 and Mac OS X 10.3 for running the software, so anyone with any input on either of these systems will be able to help.
The characters I am trying to enter are the following:
�,�,�,�,�,�,�,�,�,�,�,�.
They are latin, and used in Spanish amongst other languages.
I'm a little confused by the implementation of character sets. I can enter these characters in applications such as word or textedit or an email, but just not at an X window.
From looking at the web it appears that these characters can be input using the
Latin1 (ISO 8859-1) character set or the ISO 10646-1/Unicode extension.
I'm just not sure what I actually have to do to get it to work.
If anyone can offer any help I'd be really grateful.
Ian StantonIt's a problem that could be encountered in different circumstances, in this circumstance it is with a program I am writing in java.
I anticipate that these days not that many applications are delivered that require use of the command line, but since I am still learning Java it is necessary to explore this avenue.
It's interesting actually since presumably developers writing code for the international market need to accomodate characters similar to those I am attempting to enter, and more that are less familiar to me such as far and middle eastern scripts, and of course many others.
We (possibly) assume that since a character is printed on our keyboard it is a simple matter to read it in. But what if I was a Spanish student wanting to type a character into the command line and that character wasn't there? I believe that Spanish (and variants of that language) is the third most spoken language on the planet.
These characters are often relatively easy to enter in office and internet applications amongst others but apparetly not so at the command line.
Maybe this question is more suitably asked of the Unix community but I thought it a good idea to try Java since i was writing Java code and that many Java programmers could have encountered the same problem. -
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*...

How do I insert Greek characters from the character viewer in Lion?
In Lion, the Character Viewer shows many more options for different characters than SL. Of course, it displays Latin, but, as I scientist I often need to insert Greek characters, but I cannot find Greek characters in the Character Viewer. I don't otherwise need to select Greek as a language. Inserting Greek characters from some applications like MS Word still works.
And ... while I'm here ... what happened to the "insert" button? -jClick the gear icon to edit your list:

Reg Special Characters in The Names causing the problems EX: Bu00E1rbara u00E1u00EDu00F1u00E9
Hi Friends,
In the Infotype 0002 I am able to observe the Special characters in the First Name & Last Name.
When I run standard SAP report i.e. Birthday list and trying to save the output to the *clipboard option and paste it to the notepad*, I observed that last some characters were missed out depends on the special characters available in the First Name Last Name.
Assume if there are 5 special characters avialble in the Names, then 5 characters will be missed out in the output.
Please help on this issue.

just download the Excel file (*.xls) and try open with Word-MS. In the document search by the string that you have mentioned in the question. (Use Ctrl +F).
If you see something like "ABC bla bla ba & instead of & , then you have to pass the data through the code I've mentioned.
You can get more details on encoding special characters UTF-8 in Google.com or Sun Websites etc.
You can also encode the & in hexadecimal format to get the desired output. -
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.

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. -

Hi,
I have a solution that used to contain one SharePoint 2010 project. The project is named along the following lines:
<Company>.<Product>.SharePoint - let's call it Project1 for future reference. It contains a number of features which have been named according
to their purpose, some are reasonably long and the paths fairly deep. As far as I am concerned we are using sensible namespaces and these reflect our company policy of "doing things properly".
I first encountered the following error message when packaging the aforementioned SharePoint project into a wsp:
"The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters."
I went through a great deal of pain in trying to rename the project, shorten feature names and namespaces etc... until I got it working. I then went about gradually
renaming everything until eventually I had what I started with, and it all worked. So I was none the wiser...not ideal, but I needed to get on and had tight delivery timelines.
Recently we wanted to add another SharePoint project so that we could move some of our core functinality out into a separate SharePoint solution - e.g. custom workflow
error logging. So we created another project in Visual Studio called:
<Company>.<Product>.SharePoint.<Subsystem> - let's call it Project2 for future reference
And this is when the error has come back and bitten me! The scenario is now as follows:
1. project1 packages and deploys successfully with long feature names and deep paths.
2. project2 does not package and has no features in it at all. The project2 name is 13 characters longer than project1
I am convinced this is a bug with Visual Studio and/or the Package MSBuild target. Why? Let me explain my findings so far:
1. By doing the following I can get project2 to package
In Visual Studio 2010 show all files of project2, delete the obj, bin, pkg, pkgobj folders.
Clean the solution
Shut down Visual Studio 2010
Open Visual Studio 2010
Rebuild the solution
Package the project2
et voila the package is generated!
This demonstrates that the package error message is in fact inaccurate and that it can create the package, it just needs a little help, since Visual Studio seems to
no longer be hanging onto something.
Clearly this is fine for a small time project, but try doing this in an environment where we use Continuous Integration, Unit Testing and automatic deployment of SharePoint
solutions on a Build Server using automated builds.
2. I have created another project3 which has a ludicrously long name, this packages fine and also has no features contained within it.
3. I have looked at the length of the path under the pkg folder for project1 and it is large in comparison to the one that is generated for project2, that is when it
does successfully package using the method outlined in 1. above. This is strange since project1 packages and project2 does not.
4. If I attempt to add project2 to my command line build using MSBuild then it fails to package and when I then open up Visual Studio and attempt to package project2
from the Visual Studio UI then it fails with the path too long error message, until I go through the steps outlined in 1. above to get it to package.
5. DebugView shows nothing useful during the build and packaging of the project.
6. The error seems to occur in
CreateSharePointProjectService target called at line 365 of
Microsoft.VisualStudio.SharePoint.targetsCurrently I am at a loss to work out why this is happening? My next task is to delete
project2 completely and recreate it and introduce it into my Visual Studio solution.
Microsoft, can you confirm whether this is a known issue and whether others have encountered this issue? Is it resolved in a hotfix?
Anybody else, can you confirm whether you have come up with a solution to this issue? When I mean a solution I mean one that does not mean that I have to rename my namespaces,
project etc... and is actually workable in a meaningful Visual Studio solution.Hi
Yes, I thought I had fixed this my moving my solution from the usual documents to
c:\v2010\projectsOverflow\DetailedProjectTimeline
This builds ok, but when I come to package I get the lovely error:
Error 2 The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters. C:\VS2010\ProjectsOverflow\DetailedProjectTimeline\VisualDetailedProjectTimelineWebPart\Features\Feature1\Feature1.feature VisualDetailedProjectTimeline
Now, the error seems to be related to
Can anyone suggest what might be causing this. Probably some path in an XML file somewhere. Here is my prime suspect!
<metaData>
<type name="VisualDetailedProjectTimelineWebPart.VisualProjectTimelineWebPart.VisualProjectTimeline, $SharePoint.Project.AssemblyFullName$" />
<importErrorMessage>$Resources:core,ImportErrorMessage;</importErrorMessage>
</metaData>
<data>
<properties>
<property name="Title" type="string">VisualProjectTimelineWebPart</property>
<property name="Description" type="string">My Visual WebPart</property>
</properties>
</data>
</webPart>
</webParts>
.... Unless I can solve this I will have to remove the project and recreate but with simple paths. Tho I will be none the wiser if I come across this again.
