Special characters problem

I am having the file-xi-proxy inerface.
In the input file i have one field called "description"(50 in length). The vendor is
giving the input file with special characters in the description field. XI is able to
read the file. BUt during the mapping it is failing ( no transformation I am using.
Just it is a one to one mapping). HOw to pass the message through XI without failing
I am using file type as text and file encoding as UTF-8
Any help in this regard is highly appreciated.

kumar

Hi Palnati,
You could try to replace this characters with the help of a
user defined function or xslt mapping....
the special characters are '#' and '=' .. If so you can add them in RSKC ..
And then load from the PSA to your data target ..
Have a look at this thread...

Text fields special characters problem in forms created with ID

Hi there,
I'm creating form document with ID.
The problem with special characters appears after exporting file to interactive pdf.
When filling up text field, special characters (polish language specials in my case) are replaced by squares.
I do not know if this is a ID problem (and I should set encoding during pdf creation somehow) or Acrobat/Reader problem (tried both and also in Polish or English versions).
Some help would be appreciated.

I am Creative Cloud User and downloaded fresh ID less than 2 hours ago.. And honestly the last thing I would think about was updating.
But in fact - it was the problem.
So thank you very much for help!

Special Characters problem in PI 7.1

Hi,
We have simple integration from R3 to JMS. from R3, idocs contain special characters, and they are getting converted in to different chanracters in integration engine. So making the output data currupted.
I tested the same message in mapping test tool and the target message contains actual special charcters. Below is the example,
Input:
i was thinking of using XMLAnonymizer, but the problem is in integration engine itself. I can see invalid output in SXMB_MONI.

Metadata special characters problem

You would be forgiven for thinking it easy to add a caption for each image to identify the photographer and her credentials. Metadata is there for that purpose and the IPTC "Author" field seems an obvious choice.
However, most letters-after-your-name will contain special characters eg.
Gordon Bennett FRPS; MPAGB; EFIAP/b.
and these cause huge problems to the Adobe products that seem to have gone un guided.
If these are entered into the Metadata in the File Info panel in say Photoshop or Bridge they are recorded correctly. When reading the Metadata from file in Lightroom (Vista version) however, only the text up to the first semicolon in the above example is transferred. The same problem occurs with the slash. Thus all the Lightroom modules work on incomplete data.
(I have neither special character set as a keyword seperator in Preferences).
Is there some coding tag that can be wrapped round this text to ensure it is published correctly by the web module ?

Hi Kenneth,
Thanks very much for your comments.
In Preferences>File Handing I have de-selected the option to have Lightroom use forward slash as a keyword seperator. My understanding is that therefore it should not do so.
Do you mean that Vista overrides this? or is it simply the Vista version of Lightroom that is doing it.
I had noticed that if a comma is used to seperate keywords that both Bridge and Photoshop replaces them with semicolons and it seems that you cannot prevent this.
Do you know something about how this mechanism works and if it can be varied?
As for an answer to your question of "what shows up in the fileds" I don't think you can tell. Although you can in Bridge/Photoshop by examining the File Info panel, in Lightroom it just disappears into the "catalogue" and cannot be examined. It is displayed of course in the Lr metadata panel but that is where we started, with truncated fields !! However if you save the apparently truncated metadata xmp in Lr then force a read again in Bridge, the full data seems to still be there. Thus it would seem this is a problem specific to Lr and the way it displays metadata containing special characters.
Any further info on the Vista issue would be very welcome.

Resource bundle UTF-8 encoding and Turkish special characters problem

Hi dear developers,
I'm developing a WebCenter Portal App in JDev 11.1.1.6.0 version. My project uses resource bundle for being multilingual. I have two bundles :
1) <bundleName>_tr.properties (this the default one)
2) <bundleName>_en.properties (this is the supported locale.)
Now I have problem about the turkish characters in turkish bundle. When i run my project, it has a view just like this --> http://postimage.org/image/wr8nrm345/ (browser view) and http://postimage.org/image/3mf3fp2kl/ (bundleView)
(Watch the "?" chars ! )
You can see the bundle doesn't support Turkish special characters. How can i overcome with this problem?
Thanks in advance.Regards

If you want to edit Unicode text resource you need a Unicode-aware text editor.
You can search the Internet, but I had a good experience with Notepad++
You may also ask in the JDeveloper forum ( JDeveloper and ADF ) if there is a way to resolve it. I found this: http://blog.newtrics.com/?p=242 , so I believe it may be possible somehow.

Special Characters problem in Index entry

Hi Experts,
I'm using InDesign CS4 with MAC OS 10.6.8.
We are doing other language books like Italian, Swedish, Germany, Dutch, French, etc., We are converting word manuscripts to styled text file and that has been flowed in the InDesign Template file. While flowing the text file in the Template, special characters (ä, å, ë, ï, ö, ü, œ) are not converted properly in the index palette.
I have attached screenshots for your reference. Please help me if you have the solution for these.

You can see the encoding is already off in your Tagged Text data file, so the error lies in the program you used to do that conversion.

When I am trying with PHP insert character "" ( http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/0161/index.htm ) or some other special character into Oracle table and then do SELECT from this table I get value "??" which is wrong.
There is no problem for example with char "a". There is no problem inserting data with SQLPlus or Toad for Oracle - inserted data is always correct. There is no problem for example with echo("some_special_sharacters"); in PHP. I have no problems inserting data with PHP to MySQL database.
I have read this, but problem still exists:

FileUpload and special characters problem

Dear all,
I currently encounter a issue with the FileUpload module.
In my user form I have a FileUpload module to enable the user to upload a certificate file. The module itself is working fine but when the user controls an organisation containing a special character (like ñ), I cannot save the form because of the following error :
( ) - Warning: Parenthesized values in field 'accounts[Lighthouse].controlledOrganizations' do not match any of the allowed values.
No controlled organisation is parenthesized.
If I remove the FileUpload module, there is no error and I can save the user.
If I change the type of the FileUpload module to Text, there is no error and I can save the user.
I have two environments with this problem and two other without but the forms are identical, the java classes are the same. I do not see what would be able to cause this behaviour.
Do you have any idea how to fix this ?
It looks like the issue reported in this thread Problem using FileUpload Class Element/ encoding/ umlaut problem
Thanks

Try to use parameters instead hardcoding values in the queries:
select * from user where lower(username)=?;
and don't forget to lower the value from java side as well ;-)

Special characters problem in navigation model

Hi dears,
I'm using Jdev 11.1.1.6.0 and trying to develop a portal application. In the app, i created a new nav. model with turkish characters. (For example "ş" or "İ" .) In runtime, i see "?" characters instead of these characters.
You can see from this : http://imgur.com/Bwqxc
I searched this problem in the previous threads; but they are not the same with my problem. And all pages' encoding is UTF-8. Does anybody help me to overcome this problem?
Thx in advance.

Dwm special characters with tty font?

Currently, I have dwm configured like so:
http://i.imgur.com/JsTurIO.png
But as you can see, in the upper left corner, my tag names aren't displaying properly, neither is the title of the directory I'm in (†††). I've tried the dwm-pango patch, but then I'm unable to get it to use the same font it uses currently for the menubar, which I would like it to do. I also have no idea what the name of the font it's currently using is.
So, two questions: is there a way I can get special characters to show up with dwm while maintaining the same font, and if not, how can I switch the font in my terminal windows so that I can match the statusbar and my other windows? I suspect the answer to the second is just some line in .Xresources which I can probably figure out unless there's something more complicated, but I'd rather just use the same font I'm currently using, but fix the special characters problem.

I'm trying to also get this to work but get the same error as you did.
How did you do to fix it?
You need to add a couple lines to config.mk in the source directory.
@OP: It's not entirely clear what your goal is. The XFT patch allows for unicode .ttf fonts, and affects the entire statusbar; the current Pango patch allows for fonts in languages with unique character sets (Cyrillic, CJK, Thai, etc.) but some Pango features only affect the right-hand statusline. If you're trying to add, say, symbols or icons to your tag names for a little eye-candy, you can use the XFT patch and use unicode characters. If you're trying to use a font for your native language, Pango would be the better choice. From what I can tell (C often doesn't come easily to me), it seems each patch replaces console font support entirely for its respective alternative. I'm not aware of any solution that could allow you to use a console font in DWM while displaying special characters; you'll probably have to pick whichever patch you feel is less invasive and detrimental.
EDIT: If you choose to apply a patch and then change the fonts in your terminal emulator, the latter depends on which terminal you're using. The wiki has articles on Xterm and Urxvt; other terminals will either have a configuration menu or file you can alter, probably mentioned in the man page.

A problem with regex and special characters

Hello,
I am using regex in my application but i have a problem with special characters. Here is the explanation of what i am doing:
I have a certain piece of text that i want to parse and replace every occurrence of a given word with some sort of a tag which have the word found inside it.
so that: go Going Go to gOschool by bus and to learn and to play GO Go
and i need to replace the word "go" (case insensitive and only at word boundaries) should be:
*<start>go<end> Going <start>Go<end> to gOschool by bus and to learn and to play <start>GO<end> <start>Go<end>*
Consider the following code and call the method with the parameter"go?"
The Matcher finds a weird match at the word "G?oing" with only the letter G !!!
It also ignores the "?" in the pattern completely.
Any clue of what is happening i would be very grateful...
private static String replaceMatches(String strToFind)
        String resultArticle="";
        String article = " "+"go? G?oing Go? to gOschool by bus and to learn and to play GO? Go?*"+" ";
        strToFind = "\\b"+ strToFind +"\\b";
        String linkPart1= "<start>";
        String linkPart2 = "<end>";
        Pattern p = null;
        try{
            p=Pattern.compile(strToFind, Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE);
        Matcher m = p.matcher(article);
        String[] res = p.split(article);
        int i=0;
        //System.out.println("result of split: "+res.length );
        while(m.find())
            resultArticle+=(res[i]+" ");
            resultArticle+=linkPart1;
            resultArticle+=m.group().trim();
            resultArticle+=(linkPart2+" ");
            i++;
        if(i<res.length)
            resultArticle+=res;
//System.out.println("result of match: " + i);
System.out.println(article);
//System.out.println(resultArticle.trim()+scripts);
catch(PatternSyntaxException ex){}
return resultArticle.trim();
}Thanks

because split will not work when trying to replace the first word if i don't append a space at the beginning.Split doesn't work anyway. And my question wasn't why do you add spaces (which you really don't need to do), but why do you do them with " " + "go" rather than just " go"
replaceAll will replace all the occurrences in the text with only one word. without taking into consideration the case of the word i need to replace.No.

If i use replacaAll(article, strToFind) the output will be:
<start>go?<end> G?oing <start>go?<end> to gOschool by bus and to learn and to play <start>go?<end> <start>go?<end>No. I showed you the actual output of an actual replaceAll.
which is not what i want as i need to keep the case of the words i am replacingThe replaceAll I showed you does that.
Please study the examples given and read the docs carefully rather than making claims based on inaccurate guesses.

Problems with using special characters in Interactive Report Search

Hi!
I am currently developing an Application on Application Express 3.1.2.00.02 including a page with an Interactive Report, facing the problem that I cannot use special german characters in the Searchbar.
So if i try to find a name like 'Schröder' the created Filter looks like this 'SchrÃ¶der' and i won't get any valid search results. By the way the rest of the application supports these special characters like using them in Buttons or any other Page elements.
Does anyone have a clue how to fix this problem, because it's driving me nuts ;)
Thanks in advance

File XML Content Conversion: Problem with special characters

Hello,
in a file sender cc content conversion is used to transform a flat structure to XML. What we experiencecd is that the message mapping failed due to a character that was not allowed in XML:
I was assuming that the file content conversion just creates XML messages with allowed characters. Is there any way to configure content conversion to remove control characters which are not allowed in XML? Unfortunately the sender system cannot be modified.
Thank you.

Hi Florian,
Please use this UDF to remove special characters which prevent XML messages to form properly.
public static String removeSpecialChar(String s)
          try
               s=s.replaceAll("&","& amp ;");
               s=s.replaceAll("<" , " & lt ;");
               s=s.replaceAll(">", "& gt ;");
               s=s.replaceAll("'", "& apos ;");
               s=s.replaceAll("\"", "& quot ;");
          catch(Exception e)
               e.printStackTrace();
          return s;
Please remove spaces between characters within double quotes. I have added them because otherwise you can't see this code properly. Please check this below link , please replace the characters with proper values as the display is causing a problem here

Problem with Special characters(Russian) using DynamicConfiguration

Hi,
I have a mail-RFC scenario where I am using adapter-specific message attributes and DynamicConfiguration to retrieve mail subject.It works fine.
We have a problem when the subject contains Russian special characters.In this case,whole mail subject gets converted into an irrelevant string.
Can anyone please suggest how to handle special characters in DynamicConfiguration using ASMA .
Thanks a lot for your help in advance.
Regards,
Shweta

Your UDF could be something like this:
String output = null;
String strs[] = input.split("\\?");
String charset = strs[1];
String encoding = null;
switch (strs[2].charAt(0)) {
     case 'Q' :
          encoding = "quoted-printable";
          break;
     case 'B' :
          encoding = "base64";
          break;
     default :
          break;
String subject = strs[3];
try {
     InputStream is = new ByteArrayInputStream(subject.getBytes());
     InputStream dis = MimeUtility.decode(is, encoding);
     ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
     byte[] b = new byte[4096];
     for (int n;(n = dis.read(b)) != -1;) {
          out.write(b, 0, n);
     output = out.toString(charset);
} catch (Exception e) {
     //implement catch...
return output;
where input is the input string.
For test purposes, use
String input = "=?KOI8-R?B?Rnc6IDEwMjEwMTMwLzA1MTEwNi/wMDE3NDkzLw==?=";
or
String input = "=?utf-8?Q?Auftragsbest=C3=A4tigung?=";
