RE: getting rid of box
well you did not supply much information here, but i have seen those before, and it usually a chomp or chop in the right place(s) of the routine that spins the data does the trick -Original Message- From: Larry Steinberg [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, August 02, 2002 11:58 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: getting rid of box I have these coming up when creating a report: ma, BC: 1 bost, : 1 Montroyal, QC: 1 waltam, MA: 1 Quebec, QC: 1 booger, MA: 1 Franklinxxx, MA: 1 BOSTI, MA: 1 How do I rid the report of these boxes? -- -Larry -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: getting rid of box
How are you creating the report? If you are using some sort of print statement, what does it look like? Where is the data coming from? The boxes are non-printing characters of some sort. If you know that you are only going to use a small set of printable characters, you could probably create a regex that would delete all of the other characters from your strings. /\/\ark -Original Message- From: Larry Steinberg [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, August 02, 2002 8:58 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: getting rid of box I have these coming up when creating a report: ma, BC: 1 bost, : 1 Montroyal, QC: 1 waltam, MA: 1 Quebec, QC: 1 booger, MA: 1 Franklinxxx, MA: 1 BOSTI, MA: 1 How do I rid the report of these boxes? -- -Larry -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: getting rid of box
You should pick up a freeware hex editor (there are a few of them on the net, I've been using xvi32) and find out what the hex value of the non-printable characters are, then you can create a regex to strip them out. -Original Message- From: Mark Anderson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, August 02, 2002 9:06 AM To: Larry Steinberg; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: getting rid of box How are you creating the report?

Re: getting rid of box
Yeah, sorry. Here's the sub.
#the boxes appear right after the comma after tPara, in the bottom block
(where tPara is the city and sPara is the state).
sub parseUrl {
$nPara = $tPara = ;
($nPara) = ( $line =~ /[\?]N=([^\s]+)/i );
if ($nPara ne ) { $nPara = unpack_clean($nPara); }
($tPara) = ( $line =~ /[\?]T=([^\s]+)/i );
if ($tPara ne ) { $tPara = unpack_clean($tPara); }
chomp($tPara);
($sPara) = ( $line =~ /[\?]S=([^\s]+)/i );
if ($sPara ne ) { $sPara = unpack_clean($sPara); }
if ($tPara ne $err eq cit) {
# print $tPara\t$sPara\n;
if (exists $userCit{$tPara,, $sPara}) { $userCit{$tPara,,
$sPara}++; }
else { $userCit{$tPara,, $sPara}=1; $countCit++;}
}

Re: getting rid of box
I just looked at the file with vi and the character is a combination circumflex backslash. I'll give it a shot trying to prevent them with regex.

There are modules parsing urls.
E.g.:
use CGI qw/:standard/;
$q = CGI-new(key=valueblank=%20);
use Data::Dumper;
print Dumper(\{$q-Vars})
