[LIKE, CS4] Import and export text file that contains the tag: encoding problem

Hello

I have a script that exports a text selection into a temporary folder (Unicode) text file with label. This file is then loaded in a variable AS and transformed line-by-line for some changes to the text. Subsequently a new text file with the modified content is written.

Up to CS2 (and 10.4 PPC) this script worked like a charm. He stopped working with the new system and Intel. Meanwhile, I discovered that it must have something to do with encoding problems. «Everything in the old writing with ' as a unicode text "forced a mistake (since AS 2 each text is processed as UTF - 16), so I changed these lines to ' as text '.»

In addition, I realized, that InDesign exports to tag text Unicode like UTF-16 (little endian), but importing tagged text to UTF-16BE (big-endian). "As variables and" write iconv ' command uses MACROMAN, so I added a few conversions with ""and it worked.

Unfortunately the last conversion of MACROMA in UTF-16BE converts all spaces in the output string en normal spaces.

I am therefore a little at my end of the problem. Can someone help me please?

See you soon

[InDesign 6.0.4 with AppleScript on Mac OS v2.0.1 X 10.5.8, Intel]

A code for the relevant parts:

Export as referenced text selection:

on TMPexportTaggedText(myFileName, myText, myEncoding)
    tell application "Adobe InDesign CS4"
        tell tagged text export preferences
            if myEncoding = "ascii" or myEncoding = 1 then
                set character set to ASCII
            else if myEncoding = "ansi" or myEncoding = 2 then
                set character set to ansi
            else if myEncoding = "unicode" or myEncoding = 3 then
                set character set to unicode
            else if myEncoding = "jis" or myEncoding = 4 then
                set character set to shift JIS
            else if myEncoding = "gb" or myEncoding = 5 then
                set character set to GB18030
            else if myEncoding = "ks" or myEncoding = 6 then
                set character set to KSC5601
            else
                set character set to ansi
            end if
            set tag form to abbreviated
        end tell
        export myText format tagged text to (myFileName) without showing options
    end tell
    tell application "Finder"
        try
            do shell script "iconv -f UTF-16LE -t UTF-16 " & (POSIX path of myFileName) & " > " & (POSIX path of myFileName) & "1"
            set myFileName to myFileName & "1"
        end try
    end tell
end TMPexportTaggedText

Line and placement in InDesign (circleLines not the textual changes and throw a string with):

set theOutput to my circleLines(IN_File & "1", myOptions)
    
if theOutput ≠ "" then
  tell application "Finder"
    open for access file (OUT_File & "1") with write permission
    write (theOutput) to file (OUT_File & "1")
    close access file (OUT_File & "1")
    try
       do shell script "iconv -f MACROMAN -t UTF-16BE " & (POSIX path of (OUT_File & "1")) & " > " & (POSIX path of OUT_File)
       do shell script "cat " & (POSIX path of OUT_File) & " | tr '\\n' '\\r'"
    end try
  end tell
end if
    
place (OUT_File) on curSel without showing options

The string output with

    write (theOutput) to file (OUT_File & "1") as unicode text
an error of InDesign (bodychecking).

The problem is not as long as ID's export is little-endian - someone ' one has not heard of Intel chips - but it does not add a byte order mark. If you add a BOM, the problem should go away. Here's how you can add a Bill adapted to an exported file to tag:

the fileRef value (open for access file "Macintosh HD:Users:shane:Desktop: Untitled - 16.txt" with write permission)

the value of x to read fileRef

Set x to character id {711, 731} & x - add THE BOM

write x to fileRef starting with 0

FileRef close access

Then you can read it using "text Unicode", and it should also cross-platform very well.

And stop putting your file read/write inside blocks Finder - is not the business of the Finder.

  • How can I import and export MBOX files in Thunderbird?

    Hi all, how can I import and export MBOX files in Thunderbird?

    I tried to install the add-on "ImportExportTools" but it seems that it is no longer recognized by Thunderbird, not the most recent generation.

    That this is the case, is no longer seems to be any official method of handling the files MBOX via Thunderbird, which is odd, given that Thunderbird itself announces that it is method of storage of email records is also MBOX files.

  • Can load us a file that contains the joint field delimiter

    Hi guru,.

    Can load us a file that mixed the field delimiter

    EX: -.

    My first 10 lines have as field separator «,»

    from 11 to 20 lines have as field separator «;»

    from 21 to 30 lines have field as separator ' | '.


    123456789
    ABC, def, xyz
    a1d2 | b1cw | xedr23

    Hello

    If you have a special field that allows to identify the differences between these lines, you can use it to create 3 ODI data warehouses.
    Each data store refers to the SAME resource (ie: same file), but you use the option called "REGISTRATION CODE" to differentiate.

    ex: I will add a field 4th on your land, which I will call "block".

    123456789; Block1
    ABC, def, xyz; bloc2
    a1d2 | b1cw | xedr23; bloc3

    I create 3 warehouses of data based on this file.

    First data store: I define ',' as the delimiter
    Second data store: I define ';' as delimiter
    Third-party data store: I define ' | ' as delimiter

    In the properties of the column of the first store of data block, I put 'Block1' value in the 'registration code '.
    In the properties of the column for the second data store block, I put the "bloc2" value in the "registration code".
    In the properties of the column of the third-party data store block, I put the "bloc3" value in the "registration code".

    I think it should work.

  • How can I get more results that contain the tag/bookmark appears in the awesome bar? Currently, it will show only 4.

    When I type a word in the address/url/awesome bar it's a word that I know that I used as a tag on several pages of a bookmark, only 4 results in the menu drop-down are marked pages of a bookmark. The rest of the pages in the menu drop-down are other pages available on the web. Because only 4 results are pages I tagged, the page I want to (and scoring) often does not appear. Is there a setting I can change to make it show more results? Or is there a way once I get the original results to add extra elements containing the tag / my favorites?

  • Hey, newbie here. I'm trying to copy and paste a file that contains text.

    I need to make a sheet of labels in this file, but it won't paste the text as the background. What I am doing wrong?

    Are you sure that the text is selected, it may be a locked object or layer. Use the technique below as a test. Hide is a good friend in Illustrator, even after you become comfortable with the interface.

    1. Select > all
    2. object > hide > selection
    3. object > show all

    The other major reason that can happen is you can paste the text, but it's somewhere off the screen. Zoom out and do a select all in order to see if you can find the text.

    Hi, can anyone help? I use Vista Home Premium on a Toshiba laptop.

    Recently, I deleted a file from D: drive (which has a system set up files etc.). I received a message that "Auto back up had no" and I tried System Restore etc, but nothing worked. I then ran Chkdsk and this allowed Auto back up to go back to my external HARD drive. After Auto save, I checked the drives and horrors, D: drive was full and in the RED.

    I tried the F8 recovery console, but when I tried "Recovery system" (which keeps intact all my files and settings), I was informed that there were "no back ups on the computer '." I tried to use back ups of my external HARD drive, but nothing, still got the same message. In the same Message window, it asked me to insert an of my previously recovery disks. I tried two discs, but got the same message as before.

    My computer works always, but with a drive D: saturated, but if I do a full re-install, the computer back to its original state, I have to make copies of all my data (info from year 8) backup, or that I can then re - install the files on my external HARD drive?

    Unfortunately, based on what you have provided and what I read on your other post that you probably won't get many more links on this forum as well. The documentation is pretty clear on how to use IMP / EXP.

    Were you able to follow the documentation and the examples given? You mentioned on your other thread that you know how to do it in Windows. Well the same logic applies in Linux except maybe the path to your files and permissions.

    In addition, in the future please don't double post (even on forums).
