Str?nge char?cters in museek [solved]
this happens only in the soulseek app museek
file names which contain foreign characters (ä ö for example) appear as a question mark - ex: m?dchen instead of mädchen
this results in a file error because obviously the file names don't match.
it's simple western european characters, my system is OK (OS english, keyboard is german) and as I said it only happens in museek, however I can type the characters in chat but search results and remote files show up wacky. I already changed from 8859-1 to utf-8.
any hints fellas?

Your code for encrypting looks fine at first glance. And your problem is in the decryption stage so I guess thats the code we need to see...

On the use of VARCHAR2 vs. CHAR
I'm posting an e-mail thread that has been moving around in my organization, whith guidance from an Oracle representative.
The basic issue concerns the use of CHAR vs. VARCHAR2 when defining a table in Oracle.
I would like to get some comments from the community at large.
1. Business semantics should be represented in every aspect of a database, application, and design as far as I am concerned. Noteably, if the business rule at a corporate entity is clearly stated that when using Oracle the use of CHAR should be limited to those attribute implementations which have the following characteristics; a) The attribute may not be null, b) The attribute must have a character in each of the declared positions.
2. When the Visual Basic application began writing data to the CHAR columns in your application someone should have had a discussion with the developer to find out why this was happening. If the business semantics changed then the logical implemention of the business semantics should have changed as well. That the two were disconnected is not a problem with the CHAR type, it is a problem with the designer or the developer. The bottom line on this instance is that the column should have been defined as a VARCHAR2 data type since the business semantics no longer complied with the criteria set forth in the previous paragraph.
3. I think Oracle trys to load as much of the data from a table or index into shared memory, in this case the database block buffers, as it can in order to facilitate query operations. If Oracle has enough memory and can load a table or index into memory, it will do so. At the same time the database engine will move previously cached data out of memory to accommodate the new requirement.

Thank you for the detail information on CHAR and VARCHAR2. It got me thinking with a DBA hat. I worked as a DBA before and I did use the CHAR type and I will share my experience/thought on CHAR.
I don't like to use the char type like Tom has advised because Oracle does not check to see if the value being inserted fills up the column or not which can lead to a problem. And there is no performance gain or save space in Oracle.
I worked as a DBA before, I used char type on the "must fill/always filled" column (pre DMDC). The application was written in VB with Oracle back end. At some point, VB started inserting values that are short of the column width and created a minor problem (it was supposed to be filled column). The problem was quickly identified and fixed, but it caused an issue.
I realize that I don’t want to define it as a "must fill/always filled" column if you can't enforce it by simply defining the char data type on a table and prevent possible issue in the future.
For a manager, in order to use the char properly, you have to hire client developers with Oracle experience or provide a basic Oracle training in order to avoid the problem I mentioned above in order to use the char type correctly.
I think you, Tom and I are saying the same thing really. Only difference is that Tom and I can not think of a good reason why anyone would like to indicate the business semantics using column type on the database, when it can lead to more work/issues.
In regards to wasted 25 million byes, why would Oracle load the table with 25 million rows? Shouldn't it use an index? Don't you have a serious problem if Oracle is loading table with the 25 million rows?
Just my two cents... : )

May I beg to differ?
CHAR plays a vital role in the intuitive interpretation of a database schema. If designed correctly, the use of CHAR tells anyone who is in the know that this is a must fill column. Thus if a column is defined as CHAR(3) everyone should know that the column will always contain three characters. Defining the column as VARCHAR2(3) does not tell you anything about the data other than that the column may contain 0-3 characters.
Also, If a column is defined as CHAR the column should always be populated. One of the nice features of VARCHAR2 is that if the column is defined at the end of a table, there is no storage overhead until that column is actually populated. Thus if you have a table that has an identifier that is nine characters in length and will always be populated with nine characters, an attribute which describes the type of identifier which is contained in the first column and which must always be populated and is a must fill attribute, and another column which is descriptive and may vary in length or not be populated at time of insert; the following definition does not express the business semantics of the entity:
COL_CD VARCHAR2(9)
COL_TYP_TXT VARCHAR2(26)
COL_TYP_CD VARCHAR2(2)
The above definition also does not take advantage of inherent storage features of Oracle; notably there is a wasted place holder between COL_CD and COL_TYP_TXT and between COL_TYP_TXT and COL_TYP_CD. The next definition does take advantage of the storage features but does not represent the business semantics of the entity:
COL_CD VARCHAR2(9)
COL_TYP_CD VARCHAR2(2)
COL_TYP_TXT VARCHAR2(26)
The above definition does not waste space storing a place holder between COL_TYP_CD and COL_TYP_TXT if the COL_TYP_TXT may be null. The column separator will only be used when the column contains data. The below definition satisfies both the storage and business semantics issues:
COL_CD CHAR(9)
COL_TYP_CD CHAR(2)
COL_TYP_TXT VARCHAR2(26)
This may seem pedantic in nature until you consider the situation where there are 25 million rows in the table represented by the above entity. If each row has a NULL COL_TYP_TXT value then the first example wasted 25 million bytes of storage and 25 million bytes of memory if the full table is loaded into memory. This is an issue which cannot be ignored in high volume databases.
You may wish to know why it is important to define a must fill/always fill column as a CHAR to express the business semantics of an attribute. I can't give a definitive answer to that other than to say that it is just good database manners.
So please, continue to use CHAR when the shoe fits. Don't throw something away that has use just because it is not popular or in the mode.
Also, if I am mistaken in any of the above, please feel free to educate me.
Thanks.

Subject: RE: Oracle on the use of VARCHAR2 vs. CHAR
Ignore if you already got this. This is just FYI.

Below is a detailed answer to your VARCHAR2 or CHAR questions from our Database expert Tom Kyte. The short answer is VARCHAR2 is what you want to use. If you have any questions or want to discuss this in more detail let me know.
A CHAR datatype and VARCHAR2 datatype are stored identically (eg: the word 'WORD' stored in a CHAR(4) and a varchar2(4) consume exactly the same amount of space on disk, both have leading byte counts).
The difference between a CHAR and a VARCHAR is that a CHAR(n) will ALWAYS be N bytes long, it will be blank padded upon insert to ensure this. A varchar2(n) on the other hand will be 1 to N bytes long, it will NOT be blank padded.
Using a CHAR on a varying width field can be a pain due to the search semantics of CHAR.
Consider the following examples:
ops$tkyte@8i> create table t ( x char(10) ); Table created.
ops$tkyte@8i> insert into t values ( 'Hello' );
1 row created.
ops$tkyte@8i> select * from t where x = 'Hello';
X
Hello
ops$tkyte@8i> variable y varchar2(25)
ops$tkyte@8i> exec :y := 'Hello'
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
ops$tkyte@8i> select * from t where x = :y; no rows selected
ops$tkyte@8i> select * from t where x = rpad(:y,10);
X
Hello
Notice how when doing the search with a varchar2 variable (almost every tool in the world uses this type), we have to rpad() it to get a hit.
If the field is in fact ALWAYS 10 bytes long, using a CHAR will not hurt -- HOWEVER, it will not help either.
The only time I personally use a CHAR type is for CHAR(1). And that is only because its faster to type char(1) then varchar2(1) -- it offers no advantages.
If you just use varchar2 everywhere, no problem
My advice is, has been, will be very loudly stated as:
IGNORE THE EXISTENCE OF CHAR.
period. If you never use char, you never compare char to varchar2, problem solved.
And if you use char and compare a char(n) to a char(m) they will never compare either.
Just say NO TO CHAR.

Ok, but on the other hands:

Boolean, comparing user string & user char
I'm missing something. i'm trying to compare a string, from user input, to a char, from user input. Ex. string, char: "sssss" "s". Solving for does string "sssss" contain only char "s" ? In this case, should return true. In "ssss sd" "s" SOP should retun false false. I'm having trouble writing code so that string "s", however many, = char "s". Probably confusing, I'm sorry. Here's what I have:
// StringInput.java
public class StringInput
public static void main(String[] args)
String s = args[0]; //get the String from the user
char c = args[1].charAt(0); //get the char from the user
int i = 0;
boolean answer = true;{
while (answer && (i < s.length () - 1)) {
//char c = s.charAt (i);
//if (! (((c >= '0') && (c <= s.length)) || (c == ' ')))
answer = false; }}
String trim = s.trim();
s = trim;
String replace = s.replace('a', 's');
int length = s.length();
System.out.println (trim);
System.out.println (replace);
System.out.println (length);
System.out.println("The String " + s + " is composed " + " entirely of the char " + c + ": " + answer);This might work
class ScanInput
public static void main(String[] args)
String s = args[0]; //get the String from the user
char c = args[1].charAt(0); //get the char from the user
boolean answer = false;
int i =0;
while ( (! answer) && ( i < s.length( ) - 1 ) )
if ( c != s.charAt( i ) )
answer = true;
i++;
if ( answer)
System.out.println(" The input string " + s + " contains other characters besides " + c );
else
System.out.println(" The input string " + s + " contains only character " + c );

Nontyp template argument, char[] vs char*
Hi
I just tried to compile this example
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
template <const char *str>
struct xyz
const char *p;
xyz() : p(str) { }
void print() { cout << str << endl; }
char Comeau[] = "Comeau C++";
int main()
xyz<Comeau> x; // Now ok
x.print();
}(slightly modified to be standalone, from here:
http://www.comeaucomputing.com/techtalk/templates/)
It compiles and runs OK with GCC 4.0.2. With
CC: Sun Ceres C++ 5.10 SunOS_sparc 2009/03/06
I get
CC -library=stlport4 +w2 bad_template.cpp -o bad_template
"bad_template.cpp", line 17: Error: Template parameter str requires an expression of type const char*.
1 Error(s) detected.
Is there a workaround for this?
PaulIt's a compiler bug. Please file a bug report on the C++ compiler at [http://bugs.sun.com]
A possible workaround is to declare Comeau as extern const. (Plain const would make it static.):
extern const char Comeau[] = "Comeau C++"; You would not be able to modify the array, of course. -

Specifying screen coordinates in printf using LabView RT 2009
According to the help documentation in LabView 2011 "Printf (LabVIEW Manager Function)", the conversion character of 'q' is supposed to reference a point. The actual help text is "q Point (passed by value) as %d,%d representing horizontal, vertical coordinates". Is this a valid conversion character for LabView RT 2009? If so, then does anyone have an example of using these characters to print at row 10, column 1 on the console? I'm tried many combinations like: printf("%dqTest Row",(10,1)), etc.
Solved!
Go to Solution.LabVIEW Real-Time does not inherently have a "console" - it has an "output stream". There is no published API to allow you to jump around on the console natively (don't cross the streams) - you can't even do it with the LabVIEW Manager functions (it literally prints a dot in that pixel location, not text).
Now, I didn't tell you this, but if you happen to have a target with video memory (like a PXI system, definitely NOT a cRIO or cFP) and you happen to know the address of where video memory sits on your system <cough> 0x0B8000 </cough>, you can directly write ascii characters to specific areas on the screen - just like they did back in the DOS days.
#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>
void VGAChar(unsigned int row, unsigned int col, char c, unsigned char attr) {
static volatile char *video_mem = (char *)0x0B8000;
unsigned int pos = ((row * 80) + col)*2;
video_mem[pos] = c;
video_mem[pos+1] = attr;
void VGAString( unsigned int row, unsigned int col, char * str, unsigned char attr) {
int i = 0;
while (str[i] != '\0')
VGAChar(row+(col+i)/80, (col+i)%80, str[i], attr); /* print each character */
i++;
int main (void)
char buffer[ 100 ];
sprintf( buffer, "Hello, my DOS world!" );
VGAString( 10, 10, buffer, FOREGROUND_BLUE | FOREGROUND_RED ); // prints in PURPLE at ROW 10, COL 10.
return 0;
Of course I don't condone this, and it's definitely NOT supported (and only works on PharLap-based targets with a video console), but it IS a lot of fun.

Getting the user name and computer name
I've been trying to find out how to do this, but can't seem to get it.
I have an AIR application that needs to get the user's login name, and computer name for verification. I can't find anywhere to do this. Is AIR able to get this information? Is there work arounds if there isn't?
It won't ever be a web app, just an AIR app.What I did in Air 2 to accomplish that is the following:
public function getHostName():void {
if(NativeProcess.isSupported) {
var OS:String = Capabilities.os.toLocaleLowerCase();
var file:File;
if (OS.indexOf('win') > -1) {
//Executable in windows
file = new File('C:\\Windows\\System32\\hostname.exe');
} else if (OS.indexOf('mac') > -1 ) {
//Executable in mac
} else if (OS.indexOf('linux')) {
//Executable in linux
var nativeProcessStartupInfo:NativeProcessStartupInfo = new NativeProcessStartupInfo();
nativeProcessStartupInfo.executable = file;
var process:NativeProcess = new NativeProcess();
process.addEventListener(NativeProcessExitEvent.EXIT, onExitError);
process.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.STANDARD_OUTPUT_DATA, onOutput);
process.start(nativeProcessStartupInfo);
process.closeInput();
import utls.StringHelper;
public function onOutput(event:ProgressEvent):void {
var strHelper:StringHelper = new StringHelper();
var output:String = event.target.standardOutput.readUTFBytes(event.target.standardOutput.bytesAvailable);
output = strHelper.trimBack(output, "\n");
output = strHelper.trimBack(output, "\r");
trace('"'+output+'"');
The package that I used is from the manual:
package utls
public class StringHelper
public function StringHelper()
public function replace(str:String, oldSubStr:String, newSubStr:String):String {
return str.split(oldSubStr).join(newSubStr);
public function trim(str:String, char:String):String {
return trimBack(trimFront(str, char), char);
public function trimFront(str:String, char:String):String {
char = stringToCharacter(char);
if (str.charAt(0) == char) {
str = trimFront(str.substring(1), char);
return str;
public function trimBack(str:String, char:String):String {
char = stringToCharacter(char);
if (str.charAt(str.length - 1) == char) {
str = trimBack(str.substring(0, str.length - 1), char);
return str;
public function stringToCharacter(str:String):String {
if (str.length == 1) {
return str;
return str.slice(0, 1);

notifyDestroyed();What can I say, what you're trying to do is a heavy operation and it will slow down the phone no matter what. There are some things you can do to speed things up a little bit, but I doubt they will have a very serious effect on the speed:
a) You are reading the InputStream one byte at a time. Try restructuring you're code to read into a byte array chunks of the stream (read(byte[] arr, int offset, int length) method).
b) This one might be the most important. You are creating and destroying a LOT of String objects during those loops. That is creating a LOT of garbage and I imagine the garbage collector starts working overtime (after 700 records like you said), and seriously slowing you down. Try changing that code into using only StringBuffers instead of Strings (and make you're StringBuffers large enough), so that less garbage is created.
Other than that, I don't know if you're targetting any specific device, but a most of the current devices (except for a few high-end devices) won't have enough heap memory to handle so much data. Not to mention jar size constraints. So it might not be realistic to hope that the phone handle that processing. If it's possible, what I would do is offload all of that premium calculating to a server and use http to get the result from it.

First off, here's the code. It's a simple socket client that I want to talk to my server client. I would love for this to end up being more like a telnet type application.

The problem is, my current implentation of "exit" is not working at all. I get errors on compile right now, but in my previous try, it compiled ok, but it didn't matter if I typed exit, or another command, it still did the same thing, which was create an I/O Exception, and close. I can't get it to close cleanly. The server is supposed to take the argument "exit" and close. I'm also having problems working with the string buffer. How can I convert it to a string and actually have a string object so that I can do stuff like = and != on it? Does someone see what my problem is?Here's a few things that will be compile errors:String prop = System.out.getProperties(prop); // should be System.getProperty("something")?
while ((c = System.in.read()) != '/n') // should be '\n'
in.close; // should be close()
out.close; // should be close()There may be more. Also, you'd find it easier to read a line from the console if you wrapped a BufferedReader around System.in, just as you did for your socket input. Sorry I can't find the logic problem. -
Writing a program that uses menu options of ADD, SUBTRACT, MULTIPLY, and DIVIDE.
The user enters a number in a field labeled "Number 1" then enters a number in a field labeled "Number 2". The final field is labeled "Result"
Each of the menu options has an ActionEvent.
I'm having trouble with how to get the fields for Number 1 and Number 2 to display in the Result field when the user selects one of the menu options.
Here is the code with an ActionEvent started for "Add" but not finished since I neeed some advice from this point on....
Please disregard the other menu options, at this point I am just working on the math portion...
Cheers!

gui.setVisible(true);You can use a JOptionPane for the textfield input. Here I used a DocumentFilter (new in JDK1.4). It allows only specified characters to be entered and beeps for illegal characters. If you still want a message dialog you can add it in the document filter class with (or in place of) the Toolkit..beep call.
I also changed the variable result to a double and added a NumberFormat to allow formatting to only one decimal place for fractions (as a result of division) in resultField.
I gave a choice of YES_NO vs. YES_NO_CANCEL options in the exit dialog.

How to handle a comma in a field in CSV file during FCC ?
Hi,
I am having a requirement where we have to convert a CSV file into XML using File Content Conversion . The issue is one of the field in the file is having a comma inside. So the XML parser is taking it as a field separator and throwing an error.
The contents of the file are as follows:
"02975859","New Key","9","Failed, rejected by RTI server"
How to handle a comma inside field "Failed, rejected by RTI server".
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
PraveshHi ,
You have to write an java mapping programm to perdromance this task , in a estandar way i think is not possible , because the fiel adapter have just one option for the delimiter character.
Here's some code that could help you

I need to make a spreadsheet based on info from specific table columns and headlines above those tab
Hi all,
A client of mine is requesting that I create a spreadsheet from a huge catalog that I am doing for him (this will also be done for all similar huge catalogs). The spreadsheet needs to pull information from some of the table columns, as well as the headline for each table. (This spreadsheet will then go out to some other people who will be putting this information into an online database/website for the client.) Let me be more specific and show you an example below.
Information from InDesign Catalog:
Tea Set
Part #
MFG #
Description
123-456
654321
Tea Cup
789-010
010987
Saucer
Here is how the Excel Spreadsheet needs to look:
Part #
MFG #
Product Name
Description
Page #
123-456
654321

You have no idea how I have been pulling my hair out over this. Doing this manually will be a nightmare each time. My first thought was that I could assign specific cell styles to the columns (cells) and then create a TOC and then finangle with that - well, that didn't quite work, especially because of the headline I needed to pull into the spreadsheet as well. Is there ANY way I can get this information onto a spreadsheet? Knowing how wonderful InDesign is and all the tremendous capability it has, I am sure there IS a way and I just dont know how. Please PLEASE can someone point me in the right direction?
Thank you very much in advance for your assistance:) Any help would be greatly appreciated.
ChristineSorry for the delay.
I am sure that this can somehow be done by making use of the styles. For example, when creating the TOC InDesign does a GREAT job of pulling in the styles (that are of course associated with the headlines and whatever needs to be included in the TOC) and associating them with the correct page numbers. I had experimented a little with creating specific paragraph styles and working these into the table and cell styles...then applying the Table Style to the table. I was halfway getting to where I wanted to be by creating a TOC that pulled in all of these styles and applied the corresponding page numbers (that I could somehow work into converting back into a table to then flow onto an Excel spreadsheet) but the wrench in the works was of course the Product Name. That said, I am VERY confident that this CAN be done somehow, by making use of the styles, using the same (or similar) methodology that is used to create the TOC. If only I were a pro at scripting...
Well, it's great that you're certain and confident, but I think your confidence is misplaced.
I had sort of hoped that running headers could be convinced to support this, but that doesn't seem to be true.
I think you need to postprocess the data somehow. If I was doing this for real I'd probably export the document to IDML and have a seperate program read the IDML XML, find the product names and page numbers, and insert them in tables. Though...that might mess up the page numbers. And it'd be a lot of work.
An much-faster-to-rapid-prototype solution is to have an indesign script go through the document and add in page numbers and the product names. Here's a rough prototype:
var d,s,story,table,product,page,c2,c3,c5,i,j.k;
d=app.activeDocument;
s=d.stories;
for (i=0; i<s.length; i++) {
story = s[i];
for (j=0; j<story.tables.length; j++) {
table = story.tables[j];
product = story.chara
cters[table.storyOffset.index-2].paragraphs[0].contents;
page = table.parent.parentPage.name;
// $.writeln("This is table "+j+". Product name: "+product+" page "+page);
c2=table.columns[1];
c3=table.rows[0].columns.add(LocationOptions.AFTER, c2);
c3.contents=product;
c5=table.rows[0].columns.add();
c5.contents=page;
This doesn't handle the header rows in tables, but hopefully that's ok.
It may get page numbers wrong on multipage tables. Probably it would be better to just use
SpecialCharacters.AUTO_PAGE_NUMBER on the last full line (c5.contents=).
It should also probably not just look back 2 characters from the start of the table to find the paragraph, but it's probably good enough.
