Text content of variant indicator ?

Bonjour,
How can I get the text content displayed by a variant indicator, to write it to file for example ?

Hi,
I've spend a lot of time looking for this. Hacking into the data structure,
and converting it to string for each item seems the only way.

Wiebe.

Problems with string encoding - need the text content in char* format.

The problem is non ASCII-characters, which comes out as some sort of unicode I need to desipher.
Here's what I got:
A text frame object with the TextString "Agnartjørna"
I get the text content of this object into an ai::UnicodeString the following way:
AIErr
VMGetTextOfTextArt( AIArtHandle textArt, ai::UnicodeString &ucStr)
    ASUnicode *textBuffer = NULL;
    AITRY {
        TextFrameRef ateTextRef;
        AIX( sAITextFrame->GetATETextFrame( textArt, &ateTextRef));
        ATE::ITextFrame ateText( ateTextRef);
        ATE::ITextRange ateRange = ateText.GetTextRange( true);
        ASInt32 textLen = ateRange.GetSize();
        AIX( sSPBlocks->AllocateBlock( (textLen+2) * sizeof( ASUnicode), nil, (void**) &textBuffer));
        ateRange.GetContents( textBuffer, (ASInt32) textLen+1);
        /* trim off trailing newlines */
        if ((textBuffer[textLen] == '\n') || (textBuffer[textLen] == '\r'))
             textBuffer[textLen] = 0;
        ucStr.clear();
        ucStr.append( ai::UnicodeString( textBuffer, textLen));
        sSPBlocks->FreeBlock( textBuffer);
        textBuffer = NULL;
       AIRETURN;
    AICATCH {
        if (textBuffer) sSPBlocks->FreeBlock( textBuffer);
       AIPROPAGATE;
Now, the next step is to convert it into a form that I can use to call regexp.
Baiscally, I want to detect the ending "tjørna" (meaning small lake) on a map label, and apply a standard abbevriation "tj^a" (with "a" superscripted).
So the problem is to obtain the regexp pattern and the text content in same encoding. And since the regexp library is old *char based, I would like to convert the text content in to plain old *char.
Hence the following code:
static AIErr
VMAbbreviateTextArt( AIArtHandle textArt,
                         vmTextAbbrevEffectParams *params)
    AITRY {
    /* first obtain the text contents of the textArt */
       ai::UnicodeString ucText;
      const int kTextLen = 256;
      char textContent[kTextLen];
      AIX( VMGetTextOfTextArt( textArt, ucText));
      ucText.as_Roman( textContent, kTextLen);
But textContent now has the value "Agnartj\xbfnna" (According to XCode),
which will not get a match on the pattern "tj([øe][rn])na\\" (with backslash matching the end of the string)
Any other ways to convert the textContent to a plain *char string?

Thank you very much, your method will work fine. with
the "UTF-8" parameter the byte[].length is double,
cause every valid byte is preceeded by an -62, but I
will just filter the valid bytes into a new array.
Thanks again,
StefanActually what you need to do is to find the character encoding that your device expects, and then you can code your strings in Arabic.
That's the way Java does things; Strings and char values are always in UNICODE (see www.unicode.org) (which means \u600 to \u6ff for arabic) and uses a specified character encoding when translating these to and from a byte stream.
Each national character encoding has a name. Most of them are identical to ASCII for 0-127 and code their national characters in 128-255.
Find the encoding name for your display and, odds are, the JRE has it in the library.
BTW the character encoding ISO-8859-1 simply maps UNICODE characters 0-255 on to bytes.

XML Publisher Report - Invalid character was found in text content

Hi Techies,
Version Background
Oracle apps : 11.5.10
Oracle 9i Database
Oracle Reports 6i
I created a XML output type concurrent program and attached a data definition & template to it.
My program completed with status "Warning".
The Error is : An invalid character was found in text content.
Then i downloaded the XML and opened it in notepad++. I found there are 2 weird characters like this ( , )
FYI, It is a non-Ascii character so not able to paste it in this forum text field. the characters looks like double sided arrow and a forward arrow.
I also tried loading the XML locally from RTF Template. Again it throws me same error
Error No: -1072896760: An invalid character was found in text content.
Additional Information:
Data is coming from table "gl_alloc_batches.description"
Encoding Type: UTF-8
Please Help me how to handle such a non-ascii characters

I am losing my carriage returns when sending emails. How to keep? uses SMTP Email MIME Text Content-Type.vi

I am losing my carriage returns when sending emails using the Internet email vi's.
All carriage returns are stripped out and I get one long word wrapped paragraph.
I want to avoid html.
Ideally, using the vi's for rich text would be perfect, but a simple text message with carriage returns and line feeds in any font ok.
uses SMTP Email MIME Text Content-Type.vi
i have tried text/plain, text/html, and mixed yada something

You need to use Line feed constant and then use concatenate function.See the screen shot.

Open xml relationship target is NULL when inserting chart into a mapped rich text content control in Word 2013

Hi,
I have a word document with a rich text content control that is mapped to a CustomXml. You can download an example here
http://1drv.ms/1raxoUr
I have looked into the specification ISO/IEC 29500-1:2012 and i understand that the attribute Target for the element Relationship can be set to NULL at times(Empty header and footer in the specification).
Now, i have stumbled on Target being NULL also when inserting a diagram into a word document. For example:
<Relationship Id="rId3" Type="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/relationships/oleObject"
Target="NULL" TargetMode="External" xmlns="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/package/2006/relationships" />
Why is Target="NULL" and how should i interpret that Target is null?
Br,
/Peter
Peter

Hello Peter,
The relationship in question is associated with the externalData element (ISO/IEC 29500-1:2012 §21.2.2.63). For the other two charts in this document, the corresponding relationships are of the other allowable form:
<Relationship Id="rId3" Type="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/relationships/package" Target="../embeddings/Microsoft_Excel_Worksheet1.xlsx"/> <Relationship Id="rId3" Type="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/relationships/package" Target="../embeddings/Microsoft_Excel_Worksheet2.xlsx"/>
For charts 1 and 3 in your document, the data can be edited via the Chart Tools ribbon control. The option to edit data is not available for chart 2. The data used to create chart 2 is the same default spreadsheet data used for chart 1, and in fact the spreadsheet
references are still present in the file format, despite there being no apparent link to a spreadsheet for chart 2.
Thus, it appears that Target="NULL" in this context means that the chart is not associated with an external data source. The specification doesn't have much to say about the semantics of the Target attribute (ISO/IEC 29500-2:2012 §9.3.2.2) beyond
the fact that it be a valid xsd:anyURI, which the string "NULL" is.
It looks like there is some unexpected interaction between the chart and the content control. I don't think the file format is the issue. You will probably need to pursue that behavior from the product perspective via a support incident, if that behavior
is unexpected. If you still have questions about what is seen in the file format, please let me know.
Best regards,

hi,

did you refresh FTP (F5) ?
maybe you're checking wrong ftp server? with the same folders ?

as suggested check your mapping as per my blog:

How to get the text content of an XMLElement

Hi,
Here is a XML sample:
<toto attrib1="titi">tata</toto>
We want to get the text content "tata".
Using an XMLElement (from the class "oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLElement) to manipulate the element "toto", when we use the getNodeValue method, we always retrieve "null".
So, what is wrong in our procedure and how to resolve this problem?
Thanks in advance for your help
Bye

You need to get the child nodes of the Element and iterate until you find a node of type Node.TEXT_NODE.
Elements don't have text content, they instead contain text node children.
Just remember, too, that they can also contain comments, processing instructions, etc., in addition to the text you are looking for:
<toto><?pi?>Tata</toto>

Can 'Bubble Text' Contents of each Scripts be accessible outside UPK Script? Does each Bubble Text information gets stored in any Table format at backend? Can it be accessible outside "UPK Developer"?

There is requirement of Mass Updation of Bubble Text Contents of group of Topics in one go.
Standard process is to open respective Module/Section/Topic, and then modify Bubble text as per need. This will be time consuming if there are 50 Scripts where common bubble text needs to be placed. Hence is there any way by which Bubble Text contents can be accessed outside UPK Developer and then updating it in one go.

How can I export formatted text from a string indicator?

Does someone know how I can export formatted text (i.e., parts of the text have different formatting, such as color, fontsize, etc.) from a string indicator? Using copy/paste does not work, as it only exports unformatted plain text.

Hello Sparti,
Thank you for your suggestions, they are all very useful, and I plan to use the HTML feature under Report Generation to export the formatted text from Labview. However, I am still not sure how I can extract the formatted text from a *string indicator* and transfer it to one of those VIs, so that it can be exported to other applications. Let me give some more specific info on what I am trying to achieve: I am monitoring the communication between two pieces of equipment. A string indicator shows all the data flow, with different colors for data coming from different instruments. I managed to do that by using a property node and playing with the selection and font color properties. Now, if you just wire the output of the string indicator, the formatting is gone and all you get is just plain black text (for instance, try to programmatically transfer the formatted text from one string indicator to a different string indicator and you will see that the formatting is not preserved). Even if you try the "brute force" method of manually selecting and copying the text in the indicator and pasting it to Word, LV does not export the formatting. But, if you paste *within* LV (for example, paste it to a string constant in your diagram), then it works. To extract the formatted string from the indicator, I also tried to use a property node, but without success. I am trying to avoid duplicating part of my code to generate the same color-coding scheme on a report. It would be way easier to be able to transfer the formatted text from the string indicator. This is particularly annoying, because the information is there, stored in the data structure associated with the string indicator. But how can I put my hands on it? Any ideas?
