Filter text.contents (removal of special characters)

Hi guys,.

I want to extract a string from a bunch of text (in this case a selection for example). This text is xml containing the tag.

If I .silence selection [0], he grabs the text and all special characters (XML tags, carriage return). I can verify that something is 'false' cause contents.length is superior to expected (Smith John (space) > 10 characters but contents.length > 14). I'm not really surprised because I knew that this behavior.

So I tried to filter to remove any content that is not an alphanumeric character, but here is where I do not see.

If I use GREP with contents.match (/ [\w] + / g), it is quite perfect. But if the content has diacritics, this model fails to catch them.

So I could include in the model, but it is very likely that I miss a lot.

So my question is "how to extract pure text from the content sure I get all the diacritical signs, if any, but without the special characters?

TIA Loïccontents.jpg

Ahh, okay... Are the characters that you stay all in UTF - 8? Something like this to filter the unwanted character ranges may be what you need:

replace(RegExp(/[^\x20-\x7E\xA0-\xFF]/g), '')

(I have changed this phrase a couple of times, so if you've already tried, copy from above and try again!)

    Hi, guys.

    I want to create a psd using bridge. but failed. Can someone help me?

    Here is my script:

    script2 += 'var docHeight = 1650;';

    script2 += "var docName = 'Before';';"

    script2 +=' docRef var = app.documents.add (docWidth, docHeight, 300, docName); " ;

    the problem is the content of text contains "or". ""

    You have some problems with your script, you give the values for the width and height for the new document, and they will default the ruler settings you have in Photoshop, this cannot be pixels.

    The name of the font should be the postScript name and that they contain no spaces.

    It is best to pass a string encoded in the script and then decode it in Photoshop: -.

    var text = encodeURI('abcd\'abd\'ed\"afa');
    var bt = new BridgeTalk();
    bt.target = "photoshop";
    bt.body = bt.body = "var main = " + script.toSource() + "; main(" + text.toSource() + ");";
    bt.send(4);
    
    function script(text){
    var docWidth = 1650;
    var docHeight = 1650;
    var docName ='Front';
    var docRef = app.documents.add(new UnitValue(docWidth,'px'),new UnitValue(docHeight,'px'), 300,docName);
    var myLayer1 = docRef.artLayers.add();
    myLayer1.kind = LayerKind.TEXT;

  • Special characters on Custom XSLT model cause error when printing PDF

    Hello

    Environment:

    • WebLogic Server Version 10.3.6.0
    • REST (ADR) 2.0.10.289.08.09 Oracle data services
    • Altova StyleVision Enterprise Edition 2016 sp1 version

    I created a presentation of the State using Altova StyleVision and XSLT version 1.0. So that the model works, I had to manually remove several special characters in the generated .xslt file; some of them added automatically by the software (for example & #160; and & #x200B ;) and others were part of my model (p. ex. & amp;).)

    After producing a work plan, I decided to put back the original ampersand (&) I removed the template of the header which is a plain text:

    <xsl:text>A & B</xsl:text>
    
    

    However, I have tried many solutions I found on the web and all of them produce an invalid PDF. Here are some of the approaches that I tried and none of them worked:

    <xsl:text>A &amp; B</xsl:text>
    <xsl:text>A <![CDATA[&]]> B</xsl:text>
    <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">A & B</xsl:text>
    <xsl:text>A &#38; B</xsl:text>
    
    

    Does anyone have an idea or a suggestion to solve this problem?

    Thank you

    Erick

    The APEX motor is making a number of substitutions with the layout of integrated report. Depending on how you generate your PDF documents - and I guess you try this via the printing API, you must perform some of them in your own code, try the following, hope it solves your problem:

    '%' => '%25'

    '<' ==""> ' % 26lt;

    ' > ' => ' % 26gt;

    '&' => ' % 26amp;

  • Remove the spaces and special characters to a form field

    Hello

    I am tragically new to all this, but I'm trying to create a form in Adobe Acrobat 9.  I am trying to use a custom script Format to make entries in a form field and automatically remove the spaces and special characters (hyphens specifically).  For example, if a user 'RAN - 99 06' entries I want to change it to "RAN9906."  I found this script that does not allow users to input special characters

    If (! event.willCommit) {}


    Event.change = event.change.replace (/ [------$# ~ %------*------*------^-------------(\)------+=------[\]------{\}; \ "\ <>\ \?"]) \ | \\\ !] /g, "");

    }

    And it's OK, but I can't understand how to prohibit the spaces.  In addition, the perference would be a script to allow users to enter data as they wish, but to clean after leaving the text field.

    Thanks in advance!

    Yes, there are a few changes during the passage of the code of the event in the sequence of keys to the Validate event.

    First of all, you need not try the willCommit. In fact, when the sequence of events of field reached the Validate event, the field is already committed. The Validate event does not therefore the property of willCommit.

    Secondly, in the Validate event, you work on the event.value and either event.change. Thus, you will replace accordingly.

    And who should actually do.

    I hope this can help.

    Kind regards

    Arianne.

    Here is the difference:

    • Standard report column: this is used when your column in the SQL query returns the HTML markup. For example the query SQL with APEX_ITEM API columns or columns where you have mixed data in the column with the markup. In short, APEX rendering engine treats the column as HTML markup and analysis accordingly to display the required HTML element.
    • Display text (escape special characters): this type analysis the column data in the form of data stored in the database (no HTML). During analysis if the data contains special characters then it escapes and displays the data.

    Yes, you can mix the manual in the form of built on APEX_ITEM with normal standard report (display text) columns.

    I hope this helps!

    Kind regards

    Hello

    DEFINITION of use,

    If it is possible to enumerate all special characters, do this way:

    SELECT emplid, phno

    REPLACE (phno

    , '9 ./'

    , '9'

    ), Exit

    FROM table_x

    ;

    If it is impossible, or if it is easier to display the characters that you want to keep, then do it like this

    SELECT emplid, phno

    REPLACE (phno

    , '9  || TRANSLATE (phno

    , ' ?' 0123456789

    . '?'

    )

    , '9'

    ), Exit

    FROM table_x

    ;

    Whatever it is, the argument 3 of TRANSLATE is one of the characters that you want to keep (any), and the 2nd argument is that same character, followed by all the characters that you want to remove.

    Nevermind, you use such an old version.  Regular expressions are much easier.

    This will leave 1 "at the beginning of '13527358285'.  How to remove characters like this depends on means exactly what "characters like this.  It can probably be done in Oracle 8 without too many problems, according to your needs.

  • Function to remove special characters in a column.

    Hi all

    In one of my column, we get special characters, as well as others. The data are extracted and loaded through Informatica. We are not face any problem while loading into the target, but when we try to extract these data through the report, it fails with the error:

    ORA-29275: partial multibyte character sets

    When we check this column, we find the special characters. Initially, we have implemented logic with the CHR to replace these NULL values. But every time we get different values. To make the permanent solution, we decided to remove all characters except available on Board of the key.

    Now, to this end, I need to write a function in Oracle's PL/SQL. I do not know more easy way from there to achieve. If I go with the CHR() function, I have to write for all these characters, which I think is not the right solution.

    Enjoy, if someone can help me identify the function or the way to get there.

    Thanks in advance.

    It depends on your keyboard.

    All that is on the keyboard you, something similar to this shoud work:

    REGEXP_REPLACE (string_column

    , '[^]0-9A-Za-z~!@#$%^&*()_+`={}| [\:";'' <>?,./-]'

    )

    This will return a copy of string_column, but with all the characters that are not not in the 2nd deleted argument.

    [Inside the brackets, ']' must come first (immediately after the ' ^') and '-' must come last.

  • Special characters in text boxes Acrobat XI (Windows)

    I use Acrobat Pro XI for Windows. At my work we have some documents that we mark upwards using the features of the text box and not insert it text. In the older version of Acrobat I used until this year (sorry - I know not what version), it was easy to insert special characters such as accented letters, the daggers to announce notes, etc., in the text boxes. I could go to the Edit drop-down list and there was a "special character" field I could call, and from there, I would choose punctuation, Greek letters, various and several other choices. It couldn't be simpler. But I can't find a way to add special characters to the text boxes in Acrobat XI. Just to be clear, I'm not talking to modify the text in the original document. I want to talk about adding a text box and then using special characters in the text I'm typing in the box. I was able to type special characters in a Word doc and then copy / paste them in my text box in Acrobat, but it takes a long time and requires sometimes I mess with the font of the text box. Any help with this will be sincerely appreciated.

    Special characters is a thing of Mac not a thing of Acrobat. So you have it on the PC.

    Use the character map application on the PC. (Accessories - System Tools).
