Write to file string sometimes with quotation marks

Hi Labview community,
I have a VI which creates a string array which I then wire to the "Write To Text File" VI.
One of the elements in the string array is a control input.
I have noticed that when the input is long, and I open the file in wordpad, then the string has quotation marks around it.
But when the control string is short, it appears in wordpad without quotation marks.
Additionally, a later element in the string array is also written with or without quotation marks depending on whether the control input string had quotation marks.
Can anyone explain this behaviour? How can I get more certainty in whether the strings are written with quotation marks or not?
It created a problem for me when another VI parsed the file looking for the line with the string but could not find it when the quotation marks were present.

Using Labview version 8.0

Hi Jamie,
which LabView version do you use?
Could you attach an eample showing the problem? Normally 'Write to text file' just writes the string that is wired to it. It (normally) doesn't add quotation marks. The only option you can set is 'Convert EOL?' (input up to LV7.1, right-click in LV8+). The help window also didn't mention any quotation marks...

Problems with quotations marks

Hi,
I got some problems with quotations marks in my queries.
I am trying to do something like this:
<cfset Variables.sqlAux = "select * from customer where
name='Rodrigo' ">
<cfquery>
#Variables.sqlAux#
</cfquery>
Coldfusion returns this error messagem:
Incorrect syntax near 'Rodrigo'.
Some one can help?

I should also expect this to work:
<cfquery>
#toString(Variables.sqlAux)#
</cfquery>

French words with quotation mark can't be searched

I'm using RH7 to create a project in French. When generating
the WebHelp I enable the "TOC", "Index" and "Search" tabs.
Everything looks fine until I use the Search Function. I type a
word with quotation mark, such as "l'émetteur" or "d'actions",
in the search box. It returns no result although I know for sure
they appear in my project in many places.
Please help!

This is definitely a problem in RH7. Has anybody found a solution? Please?
Another problem is that the index does not sort alphabetically. RH is putting these words at the end of the index, even though diacritics do not affect alphabetical order in French:
âge
èdition
ètats
Anybody?

Strange problem with quotation marks - help

For some reason the quotation mark has been replaced by the @ symbol for all fonts?? Whenever I type ", the @ symbol is placed in the text field instead. It only happens in one particular document and I have done a save as and re-named the document and opened and closed it, but it still happens.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Windows has a toggle function for input keyboards. I can't recall what key combo it was, since I turn it OFF asap on every single installation I work with :-) but it is something with Shift+Alt.
Double click the language icon in the task bar to change the settings.
It might happen in only one file because if Paul does something in that file, he's accidentaly using the keyboard toggle keys :-)
Just for laughs: press the left shift key five times and see what happens. If you get a dialog, go through every option and turn its key activation combo off.

Refinement Panel show "file name" values with question mark instead of spaces

Hi,
I customized Refinement Panel to refine by file name. In some cases the value (file name) is shown with question mark instead of space. It looks like gibberish and the refine by that value doesn't bring the result.
Any ideas how to solve?

Why those quotation marks does not appear correctly at runtime?
It's about Reports Developer 2000. Please help if you can.

my NLS_LANG, before editing in registry was AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1 (without that '5' at the end).
it's WE8ISO8859P1 not WE8ISO8859P15. and i have the NLS_LANG, AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1. stil not displaying ok..
this problem has nothing about the server, but the client, i think.

Problem with quotation marks.

I've made an exercice 'fill in the blanks' in Captivate where children have to fill in a quotation mark. Captivate uses curley quotation marks, but when you make the exercice in a browser you only get straight quotation marks and the result is 'wrong'. How can I fix this?

I doubt that you will be able to resolve this. There are some punctuation characters that are not recommended for use in Captivate projects because they are also used in programming languages and can cause conflicts in the runtime project.

How to allow user to enter a string including one quotation mark

I'm not sure anyone here has talked it before.
I'm quite confused, and hope someone could help me.
I have a SQL script which has a field for user entering some comments in command-line.
Whenever I tried to enter something like " it's not bad" in a statement like:
select '&&COMMENTS' from dual;
I got an error message like:
select upper('it's not bad') from dual)
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis
I've tried some other ways such as using INSTR first, but all failed. :(
Could anyone please give me some suggestion?
Thanks a lot.

Thank you for your response.
It is the good way.
But I'm afraid that I didn't talk about it clearly.
I just wonder if there is a way for the user to enter the quotation only once, then I write some codes for the procession.
Otherwise I've got to keep reminding them to enter it twice. :(

How can i get the correct text from a string like it show in the original source with the quotation marks in the right place ?

The text is in hebrew so the problem is that sometimes the quotation marks not in the right place.
For example i have this text: תווית
על בגד: ''תן לאישה לכבס. זה תפקידה''
This is the source original text you can see the quotations marks and they are not in the right place and all i did is copy paste.
And this is a screenshot of how this text looks like in the website in the original:
You can see now where the quotations marks should be.
Now this is how i'm using the text in my program:
First of all i'm using a webclient to download the page from the website and i'm also encoding it to windows-1255 since it's in hebrew.
using (var webClient = new WebClient())
webClient.Headers.Add("user-agent", "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.2; .NET CLR 1.0.3705;)");
byte[] myDataBuffer = webClient.DownloadData("http://rotter.net/scoopscache.html");
page = Encoding.GetEncoding("windows-1255").GetString(myDataBuffer);
Then i'm extracting the places i need by reading the html file lines and parsing the right text and it's link.
string loc;
List<string> metas = new List<string>();
List<string> metas1 = new List<string>();
List<string> lockedLinks1 = new List<string>();
string text = "";
string mys = "";
public List<string> LockedThreads(string filename)
lockedThreads = new List<string>();
lockedLinks = new List<string>();
Regex textRegex = new Regex("ToolTip.*?(?=','<)");
string[] fall = File.ReadAllLines(filename);
for (int i = 0; i < fall.Length; i++)
if (fall[i].Contains("http://rotter.net") && fall[i].Contains("locked")||
fall[i].Contains("locked_icon_general") ||
fall[i].Contains("locked_icon_anchor") ||
fall[i].Contains("icon_anchor") ||
fall[i].Contains("locked_icon_fire") ||
fall[i].Contains("locked_icon_sport") ||
fall[i].Contains("locked_icon_camera") ||
fall[i].Contains("locked_icon_movie"))
Regex linkParser = new Regex(@"\b(?:https?://|www\.)\S+\b", RegexOptions.Compiled | RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
foreach (Match m in linkParser.Matches(fall[i + 2]))
if (m.Value.Contains("><b"))
loc = m.Value.Replace("\"><b", string.Empty);
lockedLinks.Add(loc);
string txt = fall[i - 1];
string text = textRegex.Match(txt).Value.Replace("ToolTip','", String.Empty);
if (text.Contains("’"))
text = text.Replace("’", string.Empty);
lockedThreads.Add(text);
Already here on the List lockedThreads you can see the quotation marks not in the right place as in the original:
After i'm parsing the text and links and adding them to the Lists in another class i'm doing a comparison using this Lists:
foreach (List<string> l_branch in ListsExtractions.responsers)
TreeNode l_node = treeView1.Nodes.Add(l_branch[l_branch.Count - 1]);
if (ListsExtractions.lockedThreads.Contains(l_node.Text))
l_node.ImageIndex = 0;
l_node.SelectedImageIndex = 0;
for (int l_count = 0; l_count < l_branch.Count - 1; l_count++)
TreeNode l_subnode = l_node.Nodes.Add(l_branch[l_count]);
if (ListsExtractions.lockedThreads.Contains(l_subnode.Text))
l_subnode.ImageIndex = 0;
l_subnode.SelectedImageIndex = 0;
The problem is in the line:
if (ListsExtractions.lockedThreads.Contains(l_node.Text))
When it's getting to the line with the quotation marks it's never equal.
Now there are more quotation marks.
In general the problem when comparing both text if it's having quotation marks it's not the same.
So i have two options:
1. To fix it somehow so the quotation marks will be the same in both variables when comparing and also the same like in the original as they show in the html page.
2. To remove the quotation marks from both variables.
What should i do ? And how ? I was prefer to use the original quotation marks like in the original since they have a meaning in the place they should be. The question is how can i do it ?
This is example of the block from the html file where the text with the quotation marks is:
<TD ALIGN="RIGHT" VALIGN="TOP"> 9418 </TD></TR><TR BGCOLOR="#eeeeee">
<TD ALIGN="RIGHT" VALIGN="TOP">
<body onmousemove="overhere()">

<img src="http://rotter.net/forum/Images/new_locked_icon_general.gif" border="0"></a></TD><TD ALIGN="right" VALIGN="TOP" WIDTH="55%">

<a href="http://rotter.net/cgi-bin/forum/dcboard.cgi?az=read_count&om=189696&forum=scoops1">
תווית על בגד: ''תן לאישה לכבס. זה תפקידה''
</a></TD>

Ok, it is unclear on what is happening here.
Are you saying that when the webclient gets the data that it is not honoring the quote characters? Or the processing of the data buffer is causing issues?
This is what I see the of your example text which is trying to be parse out:
<a onmouseover="EnterContent('ToolTip','תווית על בגד: ’’תן לאישה לכבס. זה תפקידה’’','כתב: Spook בתאריך: 08.03.15 שעה: 22:11 מחאת טוויטר קמה בעקבות תוויות שוביניסטיות שהדפיסה חברת אופנה באינדונזיה לפיהן תפקיד הכביסה מוטל על האישה. החברה התנצלה אך כנראה רק עשתה רק יותר נזק לע...'); Activate();">";
It appears to me that the escapes `’` does not have matching `“` anywhere within the tooltip. So it appears that the page properly places left quotes in when processing the page, but the raw html has broken text.
Hence a garbage in, garbage out situation.

Loading Hex Files with multiple records with each line starting with : record marker, how do I load this hex file into a front panel table ? thanks in advance, Jeff.

I have written a routine that loads a Hex file, checks for record marker,length,address etc then loads the data into a table on front panel. However, my routine only loads single record hex files. I need to be able to load multiple record files, I need to identify the ':' colon record marker start for each record in the hex file, I just can't see how to loop my routine so that all records with ':' prefix marker are loaded.

Jeff,
I'm not exactly sure of what you are trying to do. Is it possible you could post your code, or a screen shot of the diagram in question, so that I can get a better understanding, and possibly offer some assistance?
I am familiar with hex files, but not with the : marker separating records. This may be able to be solved with simple text parsing, and as I am not familiar with how you are retrieving and/or displaying the files, I require more information.
Thanks

How do I replace quotation marks with double angle quotation marks, still keeping the word in the mi

Hi,
Does anyone know how to replace quotation marks with double angle quotation marks, still keeping the word in the middle?
For example: I search for a word with quotation marks by typing in: (")(\w+)(") in the "find what" field. What should I type in the "change to" field?
I'd be very grateful for answers!

It's much simpler: find " and replace with " (make sure that 'Use typographer's quotes' is enabled in the preferences).

How Do I Display Quotation Marks in Dynamic HTML Text

I'm using a dynamic text file that has some Quotation Marks
that need to be displayed with the content on certain words in the
TXT file.
How do i display Quotation Marks inside a Dynamic text field?
Please Advise. As soon as possible.
Thanks

Try this page - it does the job for you:
http://www.dommermuth-1.com/protosite/experiments/encode/index.html
Otherwise search this forum for "Special and characters and
dynamic and text"
You'll see a couple of thread on the topic. You have to
encode the special characters for them to display correctly.

Sender File Adapter - Problem with field separator

Hi,
I want to upload a CSV file into XI.
The file contains a text part which uses from time to time quotation marks like this:
SD,575757,383838,N/A,XYZ,"This is a text part",7676
But besides there are lines like this:
SD,575757,777722,N/A,XDE,FREETEXT,7575
Has anyone any idea how to configure the file adapter to get it recognize the quotation marks not as field separator?
I've already tried the enclosureSign parameters but that leads to an total unconverted line.
Is it maybe possible to customize two field separators like this:
Structure.fieldSeparator - ,"
Thanks for any answer,
Christina

No, it doesn't work.
I've specified now:
Structure.fieldSeparator        ,
Structure.enclosureSign         "
Structure.enclosureSignEscape   ""
Every line without quotation marks is converted fine. Lines with quotation marks stay like in the original CSV file and the whole line is put into one XML tag (still comma separated).
Also the parameter fieldContentFormatting - nothing doesn't make a difference.
Other ideas?

Quotation Marks and Validation

I'm working with an XHTML transitional document.
I read on another forum that it is not necessary to use " for quotation marks in regular html, and that it will validate without them. So I pasted text from am MS Word document with several quotation marks in it in a web page and it validated fine.
However, when I type in text with quotation marks in the design area of the Web page, Dreamweaver inserts the " in the code, as if it is needed.
What is strange is that in this same document, I typed in some quotation marks in the code, so Dreamweaver wouldn't automatically add the ". Then I ran the validation check, and this time I got warnings that I should be using the " because the quotation marks are between tags--in this case just paragraph tags. And it only gave me the warning on the quotation marks I typed in in the code
So what is the reason for this inconsistency? And do I need to use the ".
I would appreciate any assistance with this.

Typing quotation marks in the code is not the same as in the design. In the code quotations are used in HTML and server-side languages such as PHP and ASP differently. In these cases quotes are needed as quotes and not as an HTML ".
Examples:
HTML - "Hello World"
Prints to screen -> "Hello World"
PHP - <?php echo "Hello World"; ?>
Prints to screen -> Hello World
HTML - <div style="border:1px solid #000">Hello World</div>
Prints to screen -> Hello World [Box surrounds text with 1px solid black border]
HTML - <div style="border:1px solid #000">Hello World</div>
Prints to screen -> [I'm not exactly sure what this does but it's not right and could look different in every browser]
Hopefully this makes some sense as to why DW does what it does. If you still have questions feel free to post back.

Read/Write text files in LabVIEW

We have developed an instrument control and data acquisition system for a mass spectrometer using LabVIEW FPGA. Currently we have 6 counters on the FPGA, counting for 1 second intervals and transferring data to the host using a FIFO.
The data, as a local variable, is used in several different parallel loops on the host. One of these is coded to write the data to a text file. Unfortunately everything we have tried has failed. It is proving impossible using either the write to file VI provided with labVIEW, or to use the Open file, write and close file utilities. Each attempt has failed. Yet when running a dummy code we can write to files. The dummy code consists of 6 random number generators running in one loop and the write to file VI in a second loop. The random numbers are transferred across the loops as local variables.
Can anyone offer any advice as to what we might be doing wrong. We're beginning to feel as though we are banging our heads against a brick wall and getting very frustrated.
Many thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hi Paul,
you neither say, what is failing nor do you show any code... How should we help then?
"impossible using ... the write to file VI"
Well, usually they work just fine.
"Each attempt has failed."
In which way? Error number given? Did you use the debuging tools, like probing, breakpoints and highlighting?
"as local variables."
It seems you're not properly do program "real" LabVIEW code
