What happened to Find/Change Special Characters

I am a recent update from FrameMaker 9 to FrameMaker 11. I use many notations with non-breaking hyphens and non-breaking spaces. In version 9 I was able to use the hex codes in the Find/Change dialog box and find and replace those notations. Now in version 11, it does not find those characters. I end up finding more than I want.
For Example: I want to find
(E-Vote Sept. 12, 2008)
This text has a non-breaking hyphen and the spaces shown are non-breaking also. When I entered these characters into the document, I used "Esc hyphen h" key sequence for the hyphen and "Control+space" for the spaces.
When I enter "(E\x15Vote\x10Sept.\x1012,\x102008)" and press the Find button, FrameMaker converts the text to "(E\+Vote\s#Sept.\s#12,\s#2008)" and returns with a statement "Not Found." I get the same error if I copy the text and paste it into the Find/Change Dialog box. I have tried this with the "Consider Case," "Use Wildcards" and the "Whole Word" checks both off and on. I can't get it to find it.
Honestly, I never noticed if verstion 9 did the conversion, from \x15 to \+ and \x10 to \s#, in the Find/Change dialog box because it always found what I was looking for.
I hope someone can tell me how to fix this because this is a function that I use all the time in FrameMaker. I use non-breaking hyphens and spaces all over my documents.
I have also reported this as a bug because that is what if feels like to me. I did go out and updated my installation of FrameMaker, thinking that this may have been reported and fixed already.

Chris,
That's odd. It (dialog-box codes) works for me on my systems:
Using the dialog-box codes works perfectly. The unicode values for the non-breaking space (nbsp = \u00A0) and non-breaking hyphen (\u2011), however, aren't working. It looks like the wrong glyph is being substituted in both cases.
This is definiely a bug when doing a unicode-value search.

  • Find All Special Characters in a SQL Server

    I would like to find all Special Characters in a table. I am currently using the code below. Not sure if this gets all of them.
    select  top 50 *
    from [dbo].[SV20150122]
    where street LIKE '%[^0-9a-zA-Z @\.\-]%'
    SQL

    Depends on what you want to count as a special character.  Depending on your collation, your query might not consider é (for example) as a special character.  The same goes for other accented letters.  If that's what you want, then fine. 
    If that is not what you want, you may want to do
    where street LIKE '%[^0-9a-zA-Z @\.\-]%' Collate Latin1_General_BIN
    In any case, you can see exactly which characters are NOT counted as special characters on your system (with and without the Collate clause) by running
    Declare @Test Table(ID int, MyData char(1));
    ;With cte As
    (Select 0 As Number
    Union All
    Select Number + 1
    From cte
    Where Number < 255)
    Insert @Test(ID, MyData)
    Select Number, CHAR(Number)
    From cte Option(MaxRecursion 256);
    Select ID, MyData From @Test
    Except
    Select ID, MyData From @Test
    Where MyData LIKE '%[^0-9a-zA-Z @\.\-]%'
    Select ID, MyData From @Test
    Except
    Select ID, MyData From @Test
    Where MyData LIKE '%[^0-9a-zA-Z @\.\-]%' Collate Latin1_General_BIN
    Note: the above code assumes the column street is char or varchar.

  • What happens if I change PC ?

    Hello
    What happens if i change my computer ?
    Do I have to desinstall Creative in the old PC and reinstall it in the new one ?
    I know I can install Cretaive twice but how Adobe could know I don't use the old PC and How can I keep rights to install Creative twice if my first PC is destroy.
    Sorry for my bad english
    A++

    Hi Claire,
    When you install the software and sign in with your Adobe ID that is what keeps track of your usage. If want to switch computers, you can sign out from any of the Creative Cloud (CC versions) apps using the Help > Sign Out, for CS6 apps included with Creative Cloud the option is Help > Deactivate. If for some reason you weren't able to go through this process, like a computer hardware problem, and attempted to use the software on more than two computers what happens is you get a prompt saying you are attempting to use the software on more than the allowed number of computers and it asks if you would like to deactivate all computers. This allows you to go through the activate process again on the two that you want to use.

    Hello, I d like to buy Lightroom but first I want to know if this is possible to install it on two different computers? If not, what happen if I change my computer. Thks for your help.

    The standard licence covers installation on any two computers - one being in use at any time.
    If you change computers, simply uninstall from the old machine and install on the new - Lightroom doesn't use "dial home" activation and deactivation.

  • How to find the 'special characters' window

    Hi,
    Frequently I want to access the 'special characters' window, but when I click on the 'special characters' menu item the window does not appear. Sometimes I later find it on another screen (I use nine screens in Spaces), and sometimes can I see it on another screen using Expose, but when I go there it has disappeared. It seems a very fugitive tool, and in its way displays some cute, personality........ But I would love to know how to find it or to force it to appear on the same screen as the application from which I tried to open it!
    all the best,
    Jeremy Harbinson

    Hi,
    Thanks for the reply.
    I tried what you suggest - in the International section of the System Preferences there is a tab labelled 'input menu' and there is a check box (which is checked) titled 'Show input menu in Menu bar'. Unchecking that removes a national flag from the the menu bar, checking it restores that flag. So far, so good. If a click on the flag, a drop down menu appears with 'Hide character palette' as an item - clicking this changes it state to 'Show character palette' but clicking this (several times) changes nothing else that I can see,
    all the best,
    Jeremy

  • Language problem: ODBC changes special characters

    We are running Oracle 10g and have some clients that need access to some views using an ODBC-connection.
    Installation of the Instant Client and ODBC package went without trouble. We established a system DSN and the client has a successful connection to the database.
    Some special characters (for example german "&auml;","&ouml;","&uuml;" and the symbol "&Oslash;" for diameter) are howewer changed when viewed in Access or other 3rd party programms that use that system DSN ("&auml;" becomes "a", "&ouml;" becomes "o", "&Oslash;" becomes "?", etc.).
    I guess there may be just a single setting we missed to configure. Can anybody help?

    Hi,
    What character set is your database? SELECT * FROM NLS_DATABASE_PARAMETERS WHERE PARAMETER LIKE '%ERSET';
    Usually we see the behavior you're reporting when folks try to store data that the database characterset doesnt support. Disregard any sort of "when i select it from ____ it comes back different" results as that will only distract you.
    What is the data stored as exactly? Insert just a character or two in a one column table and then use the dump command.. SELECT DUMP(COLNAME,1016) FROM TABLENAME WHERE ...
    then match the code points with that character set and see if theyre valid.
    Hope it helps,
    Greg

  • Can you help me find my special characters?

    I have used special characters without any hitch in the past. But now I can't bring them up at all.  Not in Pages, or in Mail.  Can anyone suggest a solution?  I'm using a rather old 12"  iBook G4.

    That's strange!  This was a very common problem and fix several years ago when 10.5 came out and I don't remember hearing of anyone losing anything.
    Me too Tom
    But it's easy to get odd behavior with the terminal. One added letter or a dropped one may make a huge difference.
    It's why I encapsulate calls to terminal in a Do Shell Script  instruction.
    This may I may easily triple check it before execution.

  • What happen if I change a role after I released the transport?

    Here is my Scenerio:
    1) Assuming I've created a role : ROLE1 in DEV
    2) I create a transport TR1 with that ROLE1, NOT yet released.
    3) Then I added ME21 txn to ROLE1.
    4) Then I released the transport TR1
    5) Then I remove ME21 txn from ROLE1.
    6) Then I transport role from DEV to QA.
    Q1) I would expect In QA, ROLE1 will still has ME21. - True?
    Q2) TR1 will be the snapshot of the ROLE1 when I release the transport TR1 - True?
    Now, I want to delete the ROLE1,
    A) I would need to create another Transport TR2 first with ROLE1 in DEV
    B) Then delete ROLE1 in DEV
    C) Then release Transport TR2
    D) Then I decided that I still need ROLE1. (oops)
    Q3 I should not transport TR2 so that it won't delete it in QA. - True?

    You should add the role again to the Transport to avoid inconsistency

    Answer: If you reassign the role to the TR then you will get.
    > Q2) TR1 will be the snapshot of the ROLE1 when I release the transport TR1 - True?
    Answer:  TRUE (but without ME21 if you don't add the change to the CR - see below for detail discussion)

    Answer:  TRUE. And if you want the role again back to DEV without recreating it, please download the role from QAS or PROD and then Upload it to DEV. After that you need to generate the Profile of the role.

    FYI:   When a Change is Included into a request to send in other systems, then this request is called "Change Request" (CR). After Releasing, the CR called as "Transport request".
    CRs are basically (in layman language) the Pointers to the DB changes performed. These are included into a CR as "Task". A CR can contain multiple Tasks created by different users.
    Please note if this is a Workbench CR then it is ONLY editable by that particular user(owner of the Task). Also the Object captured in a Task of a WCR possesses a Lock till it gets released and thus can't be added to any other Task of a different CR. The Objects are unlocked when the Tasks and the CR is released respectively.
    There are no Object Lock for Customizing CRs ... like your TR1 which contains Creation / Deletion of roles.
    After the release of each Task, all Objects contained into every Task are transferred to the Change Request. After release of all Tasks, the CR owner can release the CR and thus the Transport Request has been initiated. Technically, at this time, a copy of Data from the Database of DEV captured under the headers of each Tasks are written to Data Files in Central Transport Directory.
    Now coming to your queries..... there are no such synchronization happens for a Task if the Objects are edited in different time frames before Release.  So, when you added ME21, again you need to assign this change to the same CR. (_Answer to your Q1_)
    Please let me know if you have any confusion / query.

  • What happens if i change some data in delvery after it is totally completed

    Hi all ,
                I have a small question . I have sales order which completed its cycle. I mean delivery completed and accounting documents cleared.
    Now can I change the delivery just to updating the serial numbers in it ? what could be the result. ?
    Rewards for sure
    Thanks
    Mmn

    hi
    Updation of serial no.s or any change is not possible if next document to delivery is created, Here till accounting document is created and hence u wil need to reverse all transaction is alloweed.
    According to me updatoin of serial nos. will be only needed to extend the warranty for the unit to correct serial no. In thase case u will need to update the EQUI records for this serial no and assign these serial no to the material / sales order / delivery item in the tables ur client has defined.
    Reward if helpful
    KInd Regards

  • BT Yahoo Mail: what happens if I change my service...

    Although I am frightfully clever and intelligent I am utterly baffled by stuff like ISPs and email systems. I'm moving to Virgin from BT, and I am wondering what will happen with my btinternet/BT Yahoo! mail email addresses. Will I lose these?

  • What happens if I change computers?

    I really want to start a membership with the Creative Cloud, although, I am afraid that when I use the download for both my personal PC and Mac that if anything happens to either computer or I decide to sell/trade them, I wont be able to put a new program on the new computer.
    What are the terms around this? I feel like it would be so much work if I were to be paying for these programs to jump through hoops every time a computer didn't suite my needs or
    crashed on me.
    Can anyone help me with some insight, because I really want to invest into this membership.
    Thanks!

    A little extra information:
    If you ever install and try to sign-in Creative Cloud on a third computer, you'll be given a warning when you try to sign-in on that computer, because two activations have already been registered:
    Either to sign-out of one of your other devices (computers) - You can do this from the Creative Cloud Desktop application that's available in the Taskbar (Win) and Menubar (Mac), click the gear-icon in top-right and choose Preferences, then click Account and Sign-Out.
    Or choose the second option, which will deactivate Creative Cloud on all other devices (this means that if you were to use one of those devices again, you'd need to Sign-In again).
    If you ever plan on getting rid of a computer, or getting a new one, the best thing to do is Sign-Out of Creative Cloud on the old computer AND uninstall it. Then you can sign-in on your new computer without any issues hopefully .
    Cheers,
    Cari

  • WTH???? What happened to Finder preferences?

    Once I finally (3 days ago) decided to take the leap and update to Yosemite, my Finder preferences window comes up blank! Help please

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
