Special Characters viewing in PC Ultraedit and not in MAC Textwrangler

Hello everybody,
I had a difficulty in viewing special characters in PC Ultraedit vs MAC Textwranger in a InDesign tagged text file.
When the open the InDesign tagged file in PC Ultraedit, all special characters are viewing in a correct format. But the same tagged text file open in MAC Textwranger, this special characters are in a form of junk characters.
Please anybody know whats the issue. If you have answers for this issue, please share with me. Its very helpful for us.
Below screenshots explains the exact problem:

Thanks for any helps!

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.

Special characters in UCM site URL does not give error

Hey Experts,
If we put any special characters in site URL, UCM does not show 404 page .. for e.g.
site URL is http://www.example.com/abc/xyzs/index.html.... if we add special characters in URL for e.g. http://www.example.com/#$abc/xyzs/index.html...
then home page of site is displayed .....http://www.example.com/...
Also http://www.example.com/ abc/xyzs/index.html shows home page ..
Any idea why it is happening ??

I would attribute this behavious to the SSUrlMap filter - which has the job of turning the friendly URL's into SS_GET_PAGE service calls. Apparently the way it parses the URLs and looks for the patterns does not consider these characters.
Is it actually a problem?

Storing carriage return and other special characters in a TestStand variable and passing to LabVIEW

I am using TestStand step to call a LabVIEW VI that writes commands to a serial device. The device expects a carriage return at the end of the command. I can create a constant string in TestStand with the carriage return, e.g., "ATA\x0D" and pass that to a LabVIEW string control which shows ATA\r and the VI works properly.
To provide consistency and flexibility in my code, I want to store the terminator character(s) in a TestStand variable. However, when I try to use an expression to create the command string, i.e. "ATA" + "Locals.Terminator", where Locals.Terminator is set to "\x0D", my LabVIEW VI string control shows "ATA\\x0D" which doesn't work. And when I try Locals.Terminator set to "\r", the LabVIEW string control shows "ATA\\r" which doesn't work either.
Is there a way to store special characters in a TestStand variable and pass them to LabVIEW as special characters? I saw in another post that if you edit the TestStand variable by pressing Cntl-Enter, it will store the newline \n properly and it can be sent to LabVIEW - that works for me as well for \n. But I need to send a carriage return.
I've attached my test sequence and the corresponding LabVIEW VI with a string control.

Hi Hans,
Thanks for your detailed explanation and examples. In TestStand, change the String parameter's String Type to Binary String instead of ASCII. Then it will pass the desired value.

I have a MacBook purchased in 2009 with Snow Leopard. I tried to access "special characters" from the Finder menu and an intermittent blank pop ups and will not stop. It also happens when I run Word or Pages.

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.

Use 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.

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

Special characters in SBWP dynamic columns are not showing for some users

Hi experts,
We have set up a dynamic columns for business workplace. One of the field displays the comments entered by the user. Some users are able to see the values entered perfectly. But for some users, if we enter special characters like @gopal, it is not displaying the value in dynamic column.
Are there any workflow/user settings need to be changed.
Thanks

I had the same issue, you should check the link between AD and CRM, so you could make a new user in AD and connect your CRM account with it, then you should return the old AD account back. It worked for me, try it :)

How can I view resolution in DPI and not PPI?

Hi all,
Under Bridge>view content as list, I got a column of Resolution but the mesurement are ppi and not dpi and i need to see the dpi.
Anyone knows where can i set it?
thanks..
shlomit

Shlomit,
Strictly speaking, images do not have dpi (ever), only ppi. Images are made of pixels, not dots.
Dpi refers to prints.
However, in everyday use, the terms are loosely used interchangeably. They work out to exactly the same thing (same numbers), but ppi is the correct terminlogy.
See: http://www.scantips.com/basics01.html
DPI, PPI, SPI - What's in a name?
Printer ink dots and image pixels are very different concepts, but both use the term dpi in their own way (dots per inch).
Inkjet printer dpi ratings refer to printer ink dots (the four colors of ink), which is NOT AT ALL the same thing as image pixels. These are such different concepts that some people think we should reserve the term dpi for those inkjet ink dots, and reserve use of ppi only for image pixels. Not a bad plan, except that this view fails to recognize real world usage.
We may hear scanning resolution called spi (Samples Per Inch), and that is indeed what it is. We often hear image resolution called ppi (Pixels Per Inch), and that is indeed what it is. The spi and ppi terms are correct. But historical and common usage has always said dpi for image resolution, meaning pixels per inch, and fully interchangeable with ppi. Pixels are conceptually a kind of colored dot too, and resolution has always been called dpi, for years before we had inkjet printers. Dpi is just jargon perhaps, but it is a fact of life. Scanners and scanner ratings say dpi too, meaning pixels per inch (see dialog pictures here, here, here, and here). I habitually always say dpi myself, but I did try to switch to ppi in the book version.
We may use the term of our own preference, but we need to understand it both ways. Some photo editor programs have switched to saying ppi now, which has much to be said for it. But others have not switched, so insisting on conformity for others to only say ppi will necessarily encounter much frustration, because the real world simply isn't that way, and obviously is not ready to switch yet.
My point here is that we must understand it both ways, because we will see it both ways, often, in the real world.
It's easy, not a problem - the idea of printing digital images is always about pixels per inch, so when the context pertains to images instead of printers, all of these terms, spi, ppi, and dpi, are exactly the same equivalent concept - they all mean pixels per inch.
There is no problem understanding any use of dpi if you know the context. It always means the only thing it can possibly mean. If the context pertains to images or printing pixels, dpi means "pixels per inch". If the context pertains to inkjet printer ratings, dpi means "ink dots per inch". There is no other meaning possible. This should be clear and no big deal - the English language is full of multiple context definitions.

PSE 8 Organizer. View (Sub-) Categories: OR, AND, NOT...

I'm testing the Organizer in PSE 8. I've created several categories including subcategories. A simple example:
PEOPLE
          Peter
          Paul
          Mary
YEAR
          2008
          2009
When I select the subcategories Peter and Paul, I see the thumbnails / pictures that contains either Peter or Paul and both Peter and Paul. This view corresponds with what is called a Boolean OR. But I cannot find a way to only view thumbnails / pictures containing both Peter and Paul (Boolean AND).
Is this possible in PSE8 Organizer?
You can do this easily in for example ACDSee or IDImager by choosing the Boolean option you want (AND, OR) - but the way it is done differ between these two applications.
Jøran

It's not at all obvious, but you can get boolean AND for keyword searches:
http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshop-elements-faq.htm#_Searches_are_showing
You can also use the search text box to type queries, using AND, OR, and NOT:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ElementsOrganizer/8.0/Win/Using/WS3265F89A-20BA-47fd-81D5-9091 ABA3819D.html
For some reason, product designers of consumer products still think that boolean OR is a better default than boolean AND. But for the last ten years, consumers have been trained by Internet search engines to expect boolean AND.

In Pages for iPad is it possible to insert special characters like those for logic and math?

Is there a way to digit special characters in Pages for iPad?

Is it possible for songs to be stored on an external hard drive and not my mac, and still play on iTunes? For example: those songs only show up when I plug in my hard drive. My mac has low memory, and I have a lot of songs.

Title! I'm a starting up aspiring dj/musician. Thank you!

Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the iTunes Library.itl file in the moved iTunes folder.
If you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there. (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)
Longer answers if for any reason you do not think all library files are inside your iTunes folder (changed preferences settings at some point):
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - a somewhat bewildering and not always easily understandable set of options.
For the record there's this reference for iTunes 11 but it really doesn't strike me as having the specifics you need. iTunes 11 for Mac: Move your library to another computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12168
2011 ilounge article: Transferring your iTunes library - http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/moving-your-itunes-library-to -a-new-hard-drive/ - An article with good background information (similar to the links above), particularly if you are not sure your media files are all grouped for quick answer above. Unfortunately under the single term "transferring library" it describes two very different moves; relocating just your media (not really transferring your library and not recommended unless you really need this configuration), and relocating media+database (really your whole "library"). Make sure you understand the difference before electing to move only media.

Emails on Z10 and NOT on Mac

For some reason when I open an email on my Z10 it doesn't seem to appear on my Mac PC? Is there anyway I can alter this?

Hey saraparker,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
Just to clarify, you just open the emails on the BlackBerry Z10 and do not delete them? What type of mail server are you using? POP3, IMAP or Exchange?
If you access the webmail and not the client, is the email message still listed there?
I look forward to your reply.
Cheers.

SQL query not retrieving special characters in like O', M÷ and û

Hi,
I have a sql script to query database. The output is a string. When I execute this script through a Korn shell script to send the query result to a .csv file, it is showing some characters of the output as below.
The characters O’ is displayed as ?
The characters M÷ is displayed as ?
The characters û is displayed as u
I am able to retrieve the data as it is while running the script through SQL * Plus and spooling the output to a .csv file.
If anybody is having solutions for this please reply.
Thanks in advance for your kind help
Regards,
Sreesha

The characters û is displayed as uThis sounds like an NLS client setting issue.
Note that there are scenarios where the data is "incorrectly" stored in the database but can be retrieved "successfully" from some clients. This is the case if you specify the same character set at your client as you have as database character set and this client character set setting is wrong, which means you ought to have specified a different client character set than you have in the database.
Specifying the same character set on client and server prevents any conversion from taking place, so as long as the database can store the data (e.g. multi-byte characters won't be stored correctly in single-byte character set database no matter what you do) it will be stored "as is". If you now retrieve the data using the same setting, it looks correct, but if you use a client with a different character set setting that requires conversion the data will be mangled.
The database character set can be identified using the dictionary view NLS_DATABASE_PARAMETERS, parameter "NLS_CHARACTERSET".
The client character set can be identified by issuing the following at the SQL*Plus prompt:
SQL> @[%NLS_LANG%]You'll get a message similar to:
"Unable to open file [AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252]"
The string after the dot represents the client character set.
If you get this:
Unable to open file "[%NLS_LANG%]"
then the NLS_LANG client setting is undefined.
Please follow this very useful link regarding client NLS issues and how to resolve them, in particular to determine what is your correct client NLS_LANG setting:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/globalization/htdocs/nls_lang%20faq.htm
I am able to retreive the data as it is while running the script through SQL * Plus and spooling the output to a .csv file.You mean that when using SQL*Plus interactively the data is shown/spooled correctly, whereas if you run a script non-interactively then the data is mangled?
Note that if you e.g. use "cron" to schedule/execute your script that you need to take care of the Oracle specific environment variables yourself because no logon scripts are executed when cron forks the process to run. May be you need to define the NLS_LANG variable explicitly or call/source the corresponding script to define your default Oracle environment that includes the NLS_LANG setting.
It probably depends on your environment, operating system, etc. and how you set the Oracle specific settings, e.g. environment variables under Unix, registry settings under Windows etc.
Use the above mentioned check regarding NLS_LANG setting in the different cases that you encounter to get started.

Randolf

LIghtroom 5.7 Freeze and not answering MAC OS/X 10.9.5

Hi
After installing lightroom 5.7 I get some performances issues. Lightroom is using a lot of memory," free memory available" is decreasing even I am doing nothing.
In all modules, when I want to go from on image to an other, there are freeze every 5 or 6 images. 1/1 preview are build and never deleted.
My system is a Macbook pro 8 giga RAM, 500Giga fast disk running MAC OS/X 10.9.5, only one application is running Lightroom 5.7
my library is a small one 21,000 images in RAW format
You can see the message in red sorry it is in French "Lightroom (ne réponds pas) " Lightroom not answering. During the time you can see the message, Lightroom is frozen, then all previous click and actions are made in a short time.
Each time I am going from one image to an other in all modules , the free memory available is going down and never be cleaned by Lightroom (Memory leak?)
After 15 minutes, to take a slow look of about 500 images, Lightrrom is using 2,0 Gig memory and free memory available is reaching less than 60Meg, yes about 0 Giga
If I continue trying to do my job, lightroom can stay in the frozen state during 2 minutes.Then I can do myself a memory clem to get 2.88 GB of free memory, then Lightrrom is returning to 1 Giga real memory usage and return to some normal speed
condition
Hop this can help developers.

Here is a view to my Apple system, don't say this system is too old please. I will return to Lightroom 5.4 where the performance were good enough for my job.

Why does exchange server work for MSN Mail on iPad and not on Mac Mini?

My MSN Mail works great on my iPad and iPhone but will not work on my Mac Mini? I input the same server address but it will not connect. I've even tried m.hotmail.com, etc. but not joy.
Any ideas please?

At the moment the only way to do this between a Mac and iPad with Outlook/Hotmail would be if you used webmail on the Mac. Anything you do in webmail would be shown on the iPad and vice versa.
It used to be possible with the free GMail to use IMAP on the Mac and ActiveSync on the iPhone/iPad which would have been the sort of solution you are looking for. Now with the free GMail you have to use IMAP on the iPhone/iPad as well (ActiveSync is no longer available in the free GMail). IMAP would sync the changes still.
Unfortunately as IMAP is not available for Outlook.com/Hotmail you cannot do the samething as a workaround.
You could get a free GMail account and have it collect all your Hotmail messages, then you could use IMAP on both.
