Strange character at the end of some file/folder names

I'm getting a strange character at the end of some of my file and folder names. This is it:  When I enlarge it, it says "private use" on the top and bottom, "E000" on the left side, and "F8FF" on the right side. It acts like a character within the font, but I'm not sure why it's there.
In case that didn't work, I'm going to try to attach or embed a gif of the character. I'm not sure if it will work or not.
Also, some longer file names seem to be dleeting some of the letters and are inserting a pound sign and a few numbers (e.g. #34) in place of the letters.
What's going on?
As usual, thanks in advance,
Lloyd

I thought that might be it...at first. Then I found some file names that were nowhere near 32 characters long whose names were truncated.
It's not a huge problem, except in QuarkXPress when I collect the files for output and I have to reconnect to the ones whose names have been changed (to protect the innocent, I suppose).
Thanks for the input mark.

Character # at the end of file in transaction AL11

Hi gurus,
In version 46c if I upload a file to application server with program RC1TCG3Z and in mode BIN when I display the file with transaction AL11 the file is correct.
In version 60 if I upload a file to application server with the same program and in mode BIN when I display the file with transaction AL11 appears character # at the end of some lines. How it is possible?
Thanks,

Check the file on OS level (ask the admin to copy that file), it may be a display issue in the GUI.

BOX character at the end of line when file transferred from SAP to WINDOWS

Hi,
We have a file interface program which creates a comma seperated '.txt' file in application server. Once it is created in application server in provided path an UNIX script runs which transfers this file from SAP application server to a network drive in WINDOWS platform. This file looks fine when opened through WINSCP from SAP application server but when checked the file in network drive opened with note pad, it found each line come at the end of another line seperated by 'BOX' character.
If we opened the file in word pad instead of note pad it looks fine.
If any one of you have any idea to resolve this issue it will be a great help.
Thanks,
Ranadev

Hi Ranadev,
This happens because when you transfer the file to the Windows platform using the UNIX script it removes uses only a newline character at the end of each line instead of the Windows platform standard which is carriage return/newline. The Notepad program displays this character alone as the box that you see. If you want to verify take the same program and convert to Windows format using Notepad++ and you'll see that the same file then displays properly in Notepad.

Ftp/xml: @ character at the end

I receive a file from an AS/400 machine. The process is as follows: AS/400 generates an xml file. It ftps the file to a folder location. Biztalk uses the file adapter to pick this up.
The weird thing that's happening is that the AS/400 generates a proper xml file. But when the AS/400 ftps this file to a Windows, it appends a bunch of @ characters at the end. Does somebody have an explanation? Additionally, can I workaround with this in
Biztalk?

Never seen a case when files from AS/400 had ‘@’ in it. Even you have secured ftp (FTP-S), the chances for some character to be appended at the
end is less. I have seen BOM (Byter Order Marks) which appear at the beginning of the file content as opposed to end of the file content. Just to remove the probability of this problem due
to “secured” part of ftp, drop (or ask the hosting team) the file manually at the ftp folder and see what comes to BizTalk. Just remove AS/400 from the picture and drop the file manually to see whether is it due to the end
system (AS/400) to due to any process in the transportation (network infrastructure) add this extra character at the end of the file.
If it’s the problem due to the source system (AS/400) or infrastructure, try to resolve the problem at their end, if not only solution is to use the custom receive pipeline component to remove the any additional characters from
the file.

My itunes is cutting off at the end of some of my songs?

My itues is cutting off at the end of some songs? It did not do this before...Also, it will play in my dock or receiver but not in any cars?

Hi David,
Thanks for the response. I did look at the song that got cut off and it's a .m4a file. However, I also have normal audio that comes from an external Zoom recorder in .wav format that is getting cut off in the same way. The strange thing is I've never had a problem with this before a couple weeks ago. I've used this same song before and my external audio is always in .wav format

Is it possible to export to PDF without a Return character at the end of every line?

I am the author of a book whose first edition has been typeset and extensively amended in InDesign. I now need to rewrite the first edition to produce a second edition.
When I copy-and-paste from the PDF with which the publisher has supplied me into MS Word, I get a Return character at the end of every line, which means that text doesn’t automatically wrap and sentences are fragmented so that I get spurious grammar errors.
I know that not all PDF files have a Return at the end of every line. Is it possible to restrict Returns to the end of paragraphs when exporting from InDesign to PDF? If so, what should the publisher be asking the typesetter to do?

Thanks for your lightning-swift and helpful replies, Mike & Ellis.
I don't have InDesign myself, so I know hardly anything about how it's used. I'm just trying to research what an internationally-known publisher should already know how to do, but apparently doesn't!
Following your suggestion, Mike, I have downloaded the trial version of Acrobat and exported the PDF to a Word file. This has been moderately successful as there are far fewer spurious Return characters, just a few that I suspect may be hangovers from the typesetter having introduced soft returns in ID.
As you've suggested Peter and Ellis, I'll suggest that the publisher asks the typesettter to export from ID to RTF and Text to see if that's even better.

BUG: Extra characters at the end of attachment file names

I received complaints that my attachments didn't open on the PC's of the recipients. After I saw the messages I noticed there were extra characters at the end of their file names. That's why they wouldn't open. When I looked into my sent mail folder it was there as well. The addition took place when I sent the mail, while composing everything looked fine. It took me a while to realize the pattern. There was one extra for every non-ASCII character in the file name.
Apparently Mail.app is using two different libraries. The other one counts the non-ASCII characters as two while the other doesn't. I don't know whether Finder still uses MacRoman or Unicode, but this seems to relate to double-byte characters.
The short term solution is to use only ASCII for file names, but that's not what OS X is all about.

The class files are broken. Recompile them. If you're uploading them, doublecheck if the FTP program used doesn't do mad things with binary files.

"\" Character at the end of alias source in databas

Recently our application developer team faces a problem with crystal report v.14.0 (2011). They require to place “\“character at the end of alias source in database and there are no other character to replace the backslash. All the clients that do the designing, operate on x64 bit operating system (windows 7_x64) and this version of crystal report replaces “ \” with “ _ “ character.
We recently found a patch file that in the following registry category fixes the mentioned issue only in 32bit operating systems but no solution can be found so far for 64bit OS.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SAP BusinessObjects\Suite XI 4.0\Crystal Reports\Database]
"InvalidAliasCharList"="!(){}"
As the demands in the market force us to move to 64bit OS versions, finding a solution for this issue is crucial and we require your assistant to solve this subject.

Like reading a file and find the end of character and writing into a file.
The above way is correct or any other way?Try it and see. Such a program will only be a dozen lines long.

Batch rename won't keep the extension on some files only

I have all my shrunk (resized to smaller for web) files in a sub folder. I got the idea here somewhere to rename such files by adding " _sm " this way being able to distinguish from the two when doing a search. In batch renaming something strange happened:some files did not keep their extension. How could this be and why? There was also no undo (Why?) so i decided to rename them once again this time replacing the "_sm" with ".jpg" in order to fool Bridge and place the files back to their original names and extensions.
Anyhow is there a reason why it would not keep the extension on some files while keep it on others? Since it's doing this in batch, therefore processing many files at once there's gotta be a reason why it would not treat all files as equals and I'm thinking that perhaps it has something to do with how I name my files.
Thank you

If you select the opion to preserve the previous file name when batch renaming in Bridge then it's easy to revert… The old name will be stored in the files meta data…
If you have renamed the files again then I think this will have been overwritten… I think the property is name string and NOT array of name strings…

How to write to the end of a file

i am tryign to write to the end of a file using bufferwriter and bufferreadear. I am trying to the read the file until i reach the end and then write in the end. I have some code but i dont know how to read until the end of the file.
File file = new File ("Product.txt");
          FileReader reader = new FileReader (file);
          BufferedReader readBuff = new BufferedReader (reader);
          FileWriter write = new FileWriter(file);
          BufferedWriter writeBuff = new BufferedWriter(write);
          String line = readBuff.readLine();
// i know i need to put a while loop somewhere around here

I want to write to the end of the file, what do you mean when you say "then write() until you've written that many bytes, which will overwrite the bytes already in the file."
          File file = new File ("Products.txt");
          FileReader reader = new FileReader (file);
          BufferedReader readBuff = new BufferedReader (reader);
          FileWriter write = new FileWriter(file);
          BufferedWriter writeBuff = new BufferedWriter(write);
          String line = readBuff.readLine();
          long fileSize = file.length();
          readBuff.close();
          writeBuff.close();
          } catch (IOException e){
               System.out.println ("Error -- " + e.toString());
     }

"the finder cannot complete the operation because some data in [name of iMovie file] could not be read or written (Error Code 26)

Hi all,
I have an iMovie project in iMovie HD 6.0.3. (Mac OS 10.5.8)
It plays, but I cannot copy the file (including saving it to a flash drive). I get either a message
"the finder cannot complete the operation because some data in [name of
iMovie file] could not be read or written (Error Code 26)" or the
message "A project file is missing. The file [name of the QuickTime
movie inside the project.dv] couldn't be opened and is being skipped."
This happened suddenly, I was able to save a backup version numerous
times while working on the project.
I followed some of Karl Petersen's advise on apple discussions. I opened
the package contents, and everything seems to be there. The source file
(original QuickTime movie) is there and can be opened and played. I
replaced the current project file with the backup in the package
contents, but that did not change anything. I was able to export the
movie timeline into a new project as a single clip, but would like to be
able to copy the current project.
Thanks for any ideas..

Make sure all drives are formatted as "Mac OS Extended". (Journalling preferred, but not necessary).
