XSL and carriage return problem

I'm using an HTML form to get the input text from the user.
The text is stored in an XML file and after that I use XSL transformation
to show the text as HTML file.
The problem is with carriage returns that user has entered.
In HTML file I see 
In my java code I tried to replace all  with but It sounds there is no  when I
look in my XML content in a java string variable.
Any Idea?
Thanks,

Store the user-entered portion in a <![CDATA[Data goes here]]> tag to preserve whitespace and carriage returns.

Migration and Carriage Returns Problem

I'm trying to migrate from Now Up To Date a Palm based 3rd party app - to Address Book in order to get get ready for and buy an iPhone. But all contacts with carriage returns in my NUTD contacts (doulble address lines and in Notes) look like this in Address Book after importing:
Title: ¶Description: Serial Number: BD0C159 ¶TSID Number: 10040150 ¶Model: SCSI Card AV-2906¶¶¶
Instead of:
Title:
Description: Serial Number: BD0C159
TSID Number: 10040150
Model: SCSI Card AV-2906
I have over 1000 contacts many of which have carriage returns. Will I have to fix these manually?
Thx,

Keep white spaces and carriage returns?

I'm viewing a column -VARCHAR2(4000)- in a standard report column.
The column value contains white spaces and carriage returns.
I put "white-space:pre;" in CSS Style, but it still skips carriage returns...
What can I do to view white spaces and carriage returns?
I'm using apex 3.0 and IE 7.
Saad.

I'm using apex 3.0 and IE 7.There's your problem...
IE6 (and, since there don't seem to be any docs saying anything different, presumably IE7) don't support white-space: pre in quirks mode. Don't ask me why - probably in one of MS efforts to "not break the web".
All the APEX built-in templates are rendered in quirks mode as they don't supply complete DOCTYPEs. If you are using a standard APEX template or a custom template without a complete DOCTYPE declaration you are probably seeing this quirks behaviour.
It looks like this will change in IE8.

Removing new lines and carriage returns

Hi,
SO I am new to regular expressions in java and I want to remove all the new lines and carriage returns from some text, and change them into 
I have tried,
Pattern pat = Pattern.compile("\n");
Matcher mat = pat.matcher(text);
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
boolean result = mat.find();
while (result){
mat.appendReplacement(sb,"");
result = mat.find();
mat.appendTail(sb);
text=sb.toString();
But it seems to have no effect. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Hello, i've got the same problem. I want to replace "carriage return" and "new line" from an text file. and i use the replace all function for a String object. The problem is, if i call the replace function like this:
row = row.replaceAll ("\\r", "");
The "carriage return" is replaced, but not with the "" characters, only with nothing.
Lines from my original textfile:
This is an example.
I want to replace.
After replacing with the function call row = row.replaceAll ("\\r", "");
This is an example.I want to replace.
What is wrong. If i insert tab spaces and replace them, everything is fine. it is abug in my Java Version?
I use j2re1.4.2_05
I hope, anybody can help me

Please explain me how I can use Form feed(\f) and Carriage return(\r)

what is Form feed(\f) and Carriage return(\r)?
Please explain to me.
Thank you.

These control characters aren't used much these days except that if you example a Windows or MSDOS text file in a binary editor you'll find each line ends with "\r\n". However when reading or writing text through classes these carriage returns will be added and removed automatically so your program doesn't see them.
The controlls date back to teletype machines which operated rather like typewriters. Cariage return, as it's name implied, caused the print head to move back to the start of the line, line feed advanced a line (without, necessarilly, returning the carriage) and formfeed skipped to the next page.
Newline on these machines was always "return, linefeed" because executing the carriage return on these machine could take too long. The early machines had only a single character buffer so that they had to executed the characters as quickly as they arrived. So doing the linefeed after the carriage return gave the carriage more time to return. On some teletypes if you did "linefeed, return" then the first character of the new line would often be printed somewhere in the middle of the line.
This is the origin of the MSDOS/Windows end of line sequence.
Many printers will still respect formfeed if printing is direct. Some will take carriage return without linefeed to allow you to start again overprinting the same line.
However printing, these days, is seldom direct but done in bitmap form.

JeditorPane text selection problem due to line feeds and carriage returns

Hi folks,
I have a jEditorPane (text/plain) that contains a document in which the user has highlighted some text. I want to pull the selected text from the pane, do some processing on it, and then put the altered text back in the same position.
First I get the starting and ending position of the highlighted text
int mySelStart = myJEditorPane.getSelectionStart();
int mySelEnd = myJEditorPane.getSelectionEnd();Then I get all the text from the pane and (in theory) strip out the portion the user highlighted
String myPaneText = myJEditorPane.getText();
String mySelectedText = myPaneText.substring(mySelStart,mySelEnd);But the text string in mySelectedText never matches what the user originally highlighted. The starting and ending positions are off by the number of carriage returns that proceed the highlighted text in the document. It appears that while in the jEditorPane Java treats the carriage return as one characters, but once the info is in the myPaneText field Java treats the carriage return as two characters.
Has anyone encountered this before? Am I doing something wrong? To fix the problem I'm looping through the entire document to find out how many carriage returns proceed the highlighted text, but there has to be an easier way.
Thanks

It appears that while in the jEditorPane Java treats the carriage return as one
characters, but once the info is in the myPaneText field Java treats the carriage
return as two characters.Correct on a Windows platform. Check out my posting here for a one line solution:

Sql Loader and carriage returns

I am currently trying to use sql loader to load data from flat files that was extracted from sybase using bcp and delimited with pipes. There are text and varchar columns that contain carriage return line feeds. I want to preserve these, but I can not load them into Oracle 8.05 using sql loader as it interprets them as end of record indicators. Does anyone have a way to solve this problem? Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Jignesh

External tables are accessible from SQL, which generally simplifies life if the data files are physically located on the database server since you don't have to coordinate a call to an external SQL*Loader script with other PL/SQL processing. Under the covers, external tables are normally just invoking SQL*Loader.
SQL*Loader is more appropriate if the data files are on a different server or if it is easier to call an executable rather than calling PL/SQL (i.e. if you have a batch file that runs on a server other than the database server that wants to FTP a data file from a FTP server and then load the data into Oracle).

Carriage Return Problem

Hello,
I have written some code which extracts data from a MySQL
database and stores it in a CSV file using CFFILE.
However, the database includes data inserted from an HTML
textarea form element which is stored in a MySQL text field. The
textarea data includes carriage returns which, when written to a
CSV file, force a new line which makes the data messy.
Is there a way of removing the carriage returns?
Many thanks,
Simon

I recently had to deal with a similar situation. The
differences are:
1. My file is pipe delimited.
2. My source data comes from a vendor application, not an
html form.
The following code worked for me.
<cffile action="write" nameconflict="overwrite"
addnewline="no" output=""
file="d:\dw\dwweb\work\#CaseFileName#">
<cfoutput query="casedata">
<cffile action="append"
file="d:\dw\dwweb\work\#CaseFileName#"
output="#caseid#|strip a bunch of
fields|#theatre_mcase#|#Replace(pre_op_diag, chr(10), ' ',
'all')##chr(13)#">
</cfoutput>

Oracle Reports 6i Delimied Format and Carriage Returns

Hi
I'm using Oracle Reports 6i to generate a report to a text file using delimited format so I can read it in Excel. I've done some testing putting some information in the layout but it seems that all my data is generated in one line. It does not generate the carriage return for the multiple rows I need. Is this standard functionality?. If so, that means I have to generate the file using PL/SQL to get the control I want?

Whew...lot's of questions...let's see if I can help (at least a little)...
1. Quite possibly, the user is/was pulling the image from the database? I do this in my environment, so it might be worth a look.
2. You should be able to print in any format from the web. You may need to adjust your destype/desname/desname parameters.
3. Only thing I can think of here is that maybe the original report was not written using a standard web-friendly font?
4. There's a couple of ways you can get data into an excel file:
A. Use DDE and poke the data right into it (messy when you need to print the regular Oracle report too).
B. Add an option to print to file and set the desformat to DELIMITEDDATA. Be sure to go through the data model and set Exclude from XML Output to 'Yes' for fields you don't need. Also, be aware that this may not come out in the same order as they do on the printed report. You can read about this on Metalink.
Hopefully that helps you a little bit. :)

New line character and carriage return in XML, please help, thanks

In XML, "
" is only the new line character. I have tried that. If you put that in your XML, for example:
<tag>line1
line2
line3</tag>
You will get the output as follow:
line1
____line2
________line3
(where ___ represents space)
The output that I want is actually like:
line1
line2
line3
So I would like to ask how I can do this.
Thanks,
Jackie

while parsing your XML file you can directly suppress these newline and similar things in characters() method of SAX parser.
you can opt to do nothing when you encounter them else if it is normal character then use it to print it.

Write to spreadsheet adds carriage return

I am using build array function to put together a number of strings and build an array of strings. The build array is in a while loop. A new line is added to the array every loop. I am using write to spread sheet function to save the spreadsheet to a file with xls extension. For some reason, a carriage return is inserted within the array. The array has 9 columns and a carriage return is put after the fourth column. I have not added this carriage return. Does anyone know why write to spreadsheet might automatically add a carriage return and how to remove it?
Thank you!
Solved!

Hi,
I took your posted VI and compiled it to an exe. I do not see the carriage return problem you are describing?
If you compile the VI you attached, do you see the problem or is it only in the original main application (that you cannot share)?
If the compiled exe works on your PC, does it also work on the 'different' computer where you see the issue with your original code?
-If it does work, then the issue must be in the source code for your original code. Sometimes, if you re-size string constants, for example, it can be hard to see carriage return's.
Another thing it could be perhaps, is if you are calling the "write spreadsheet" in two different places in your main code, then the way it works is it will write your two (different) input arrays to separate lines. If it is as in your example VI though, there should be no carriage return in the "middle" of the array.
For debug purposes, you could consider making a VI that takes a 1D string array input, iterates over each element in the array and searches for the carriage return character and gives an error/message on what iteration it found it, then you can back-track from there to see in the code responsible for making the string that went into that index.

<c:out value="${fn:replace('END:VCARD','\\\r','')}" escapeXml="false"/>After some tests, I discovered that Mac (I used Tiger, latest update, not Leopard) needs extra white space and carriage returns stripped off. Once this is achieved, the vcard will automatically import into Address Book. I have followed other forums which advice on using JSP comments as in the code above. But for some strange reason the last line of the JSP outputs an extra carraige return. How do I get rid of the carriage return at the end of the file? the replace function from JSTL is not working.
Edited by: shogo2040 on Dec 18, 2008 7:11 PM : I added more detail to the Subject

I originally had that END:VCARD without any carriage return.
But I still get an extra carriage return at the end when the JSP renders to VCF
I'm using Tomcat running on Linux.
I found this, article which implies (but does not explicitly say) JSP in general adds a newline to the last line:
http://www.caucho.com/resin-3.0/jsp/faq.xtp (But its not tomcat either, so maybe this info is irrelevant).

Barcode Carriage Return Function not working in Forms 6i

Dear All,
I m using Oracle Forms 6i with OS Windows 2000 Professional
When I receiving Data from Barcode slot reader RS232 interface, carriage Return funtion not working in the forms 6i for e.g Barcode is *12345$M*
('$M' for carriage return). Full ASCII code enabled in my slot reader and carriage return switch is also on, its working fine on note pad.
Please help me in this regard
Thanks in Advance

Hello Muhammad,
Thanks for your reply, but unfortunately, this would not work.
Indeed, when I scan a barcode, the cursor is already in the text field and no event is triggered.
This idea is not to replace the Carriage Return but to have a When-Validate-Item with the Carriage Return sent by the barcode reader.
In Forms, when I scan in a multi-lines text field, the string is displayed and the cursor goes to the next line
But when I scan in a single line text item, it displays the strings but nothing else.
Kind Regards,
Olivier
