Re: [AOLSERVER] tcl q: how to see escape chars
I am not sure I am reading the question the way you intended it, but if
you are just trying to figure out what special chars are in a string you
could run it through ae scan command, something lik...
set thing {hi bye\nhi\nbye}
for {set i 0} {$i [string length $thing]} {incr i} {
set char [scan $thing %c]
# if char == 10, char == \n
# if char == 13, char == \r
}
The only other question I can think you might be asking is how to set or
display string without evaluating special charachters? If thats the case
i'd expect the answer to lie within the [fconfigure stdout ?options]
command where options would be playing with the -translation or the
-encoding. I'd have to play with that to come up with an answer.
Does that help?
Is there a way in tcl to puts(?) a string, but instead of intrepreting,
showing all special characters?
For example, this is what i have:
% set thing hi
bye
hi
bye
% puts $thing
hi
bye
%
and this is what i'd want:
% set thing hi
bye
hi
bye
% puts -option? $thing
hi\nbye
%
any ideas? It's not just \n's we want, it's \r's and others, as well.
Thanks,
Scott

[AOLSERVER] more on special characters: smart quotes
So, I was a little unclear on the problem my coworker was facing- apologies
for sort of repeating myself.
We've built a CMS allowing editors to paste in stories, and we're having
problems with them pasting in smart quotes- primarily, that apparently smart
quotes aren't within the unicode set and are proprietary to Msoft.
We're looking for an efficient way to substitute smart quotes for regular
quotes. Has anyone dealt with this (pesky/annoying) problem before?
Thanks a ton,
Scott
P.S. If you're unclear what a smart quote is, open up Msoft Word and type
{blah blah} and note that one is a left quote and the other is a right
quote...

Re: [AOLSERVER] more on special characters: smart quotes
take a file with smart quotes in it and put it on a unix/linux box and do an "od -c filename" from a shell. this will show you the pesky character codes, and you can write a simple proc that accepts file data and regsubs all of those codes with the proper " or ' or whatever you want. I will dig the codes up and send them in a sec Chris Goehring -- AOLserver - http://www.aolserver.com/ To Remove yourself from this list, simply send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the body of "SIGNOFF AOLSERVER" in the email message.

Re: [AOLSERVER] more on special characters: smart quotes
k...here is what I do to resolve this problem
regsub -all {\222} $tmpval {\\'} tmpval #takes care of MS cute single quote
regsub -all {\223} $tmpval {\\"} tmpval #takes care of left MS quote
regsub -all {\224} $tmpval {\\"} tmpval #takes care of right MS quote
the extra \ in the substituted values are for the purposes of future subst commands which is entirely "my" code specific.

Re: [AOLSERVER] more on special characters: smart quotes
Most likely, you are getting text encoded in the CP1252 character set
(aka, WinLatin1). So, it's not just the smart quotes that will be a
problem, but also the Euro symbol (0x80), and several other nice graphic
characters (there's a nice bullet symbol at 0x95, and more).
If you can get your server to understand the character set encoding of
the data that's coming into it, it can do the conversion from that
encoding to utf8 properly (AS4.0 does this well).
If you are reading this data from a file, you can use Tcl to do the
encoding for you, fconfigure -encoding cp1252.
There are probably other options as well.

Re: [AOLSERVER] more on special characters: smart quotes
I have solved this problem on quite a few CMS implementations in both
Vignette and AOLServer using regsub's. I suggest replacing them with the
HTML equivilant rather than with replacement ascii, but that's more a
matter of opinion. The translation method is the best route, but sometimes
a lot of processing. Regsub is fine if you're willing to accept the fact
that occassionaly a special char you haven't identified yet (like vertical
TAB!) might slip in.

[AOLSERVER] Memory leak in Oracle 9i client with nsoracle
All, I think this question might have been asked recently, but...is there a project maintainer for the nsoracle driver? We have encountered a problem with the use of this driver with an Oracle 9i client which may involve a source-code patch which would make the new version 9i specific. Here are the details: Arena has been testing the Oracle 9i client software (v9.2.0.1) in conjunction with version 2.6 of the nsoracle driver (the 9i client is required to take advantage of 9i-specific SQL syntax). Our testing has uncovered a fairly severe memory leak in the 9i client (it looks very much like some memory loss occurs with each database transaction - we have some cool graphs showing the rate of memory loss increasing and decreasing with traffic). There is no memory leak when the same driver is compiled with the Oracle 8i client software (v8.1.7.0). We are pursuing the issue with Oracle and are also working on a patch to the nsoracle driver to use some 9i-specific OCI calls in place of the current calls (which are deprecated in Oracle 9i). If this corrects the problem, our patched version of nsoracle would be 9i-specific...and I'm not sure how/whether we should submit the patch.

Re: [AOLSERVER] more on special characters: smart quotes
This is one particular implementation (a little different than what you're asking for, but could be modified to catch things you need to catch). This method replaces chars in question with the HTML equivalent, as Carson's mail mentions, which may or may not be what you're wishing to do:
proc replaceSpecialChars {oldStr newStrVar} { upvar $newStrVar newStr set newStr "" set nrepl 0 set strlen [string length $oldStr] for {set i 0} {$i $strlen} {incr i} { set char [string index $oldStr $i] scan $char %c c if {$c 127} { append newStr "#$c;" incr nrepl } else { append newStr $char } } return $nrepl}
This could get slow if you're dealing with large strings, but it could be written in C for optimization if need be.

Re: [AOLSERVER] Memory leak in Oracle 9i client with nsoracle
Andrew, You should try the nsoracle head, and if the problem still exists there, post a patch on SourceFore against it. Also, if your patch only works with 9i then you need to #ifdef things so the driver will build and work correctly for both 8i and 9i. Thanks. If we do end up making a patch, we make against the head and will use #ifdef to make it backward-compatible with 8i. However, I should note that while the new OCI functions can be used in a backward-compatible fashion, they also offer new functionality that it may be worth making available within AOLserver eventually. For example, the new function OCIStmtFetch2 (which replaces OCIStmtFetch) has a new Offset input which allows you to retrieve out-of-order rows from a result set. If/when the driver is extended (by us or someone else) to support the new functionality, it may be tricky to maintain a single version of the source for both 8i and 9i. If the latest nsoracle really does have major memory leaks and your patch fixes them... Just to be clear, we are pretty sure the leak is in the Oracle client, not the nsoracle driver. The only reason to patch the driver would be to switch from deprecated OCI calls (which may be leaky in their 9i implementation) to the latest and greatest Oracle-approved OCI calls (which might be less leaky).

Mm. I don't maintain the nsoracle driver (I think Jeff Davis [EMAIL PROTECTED] has been doing so), although I'm slightly familiar with the code. Maybe Jeff or whomever else is maintaining it would like to fork it into separate 8i and 9i versions, you could ask him. Or maybe all the 8i users will just go away sometime in the next year or so as everyone finally upgrades, I dunno.
