[U2] Help in removing erroneous character from data file

2010-09-16 Thread ggayathri

I have a data file that is sent from my application(on UniVerse) to an
interfacing application.
In the huge amount of data, an erroneous character has been introduced. 
Can someone suggest a way to remove that character?
May be a routine that would do it?

[U2] File statistics program

2010-09-16 Thread Boydell, Stuart
Hi
I've tried doing a search on-line but ...did someone once post a program that 
would parse the data in a file and return stats on the attributes used.

I think it summarised: Counts, Attributes used and their types (max/min length; 
int, varchar; sv,mv etc), empty attributes and some other stuff...

I thought I had a copy somewhere. If anyone knows what I'm talking about I'd 
appreciate a copy.

Cheers,
Stuart Boydell

I just use putty, then again our term emulation is just for our dev guys - all 
user interfaces are browser based.

[Ad] For a terminal emulator that can handle UTF-8 data, try Anzio.

We use utf-8 encoding of Unicode - this is good as it is compact as it only
uses 1 2 3 or 4 bytes depending on the character value in the unicode set.
Also 1-127 is the same as regular ascii. - For us it is only ever single or
double bytes, it just stores it in the field, so for instance the character
Ż is stored as c5 bb.

I don't think Selects and lists etc would work on such data unless you have
nls configured, but we don't do many selects in our systems and certainly
not on any fields that would have utf-8 in them.

For viewing - so long as your emulator is set up for utf-8 it will view the
data correctly, if you switch your emulator to an extended acii type
character encoding it will give you control characters.

Symeon, How are you storing unicode in your regular files? I thought to go
multibyte you need to turn on NLS?

We do store multi byte stuff, the biggest issues we have are not in the
storing but in its identification so that you can then transport and display
it correctly, we often get the data in xml files so we need to know that the
file has the correct character set definition, similarly the data is
displayed in a browser via html so again we need to know that the correct
character set is used, and certainly not mix character sets on one output,
ascii/utf8 combination is fine, but you can get in knots if you start to
combine iso8859-1 with utf8 as the characters 127-255 are single byte in
iso8859-1 but double byte in utf8. In some ways utf8 is better than
is08859-1 as you don't get the u umlout issue as character 253. You can of
course mix character sets in your data, so long as you know what is what.

Hey,

Just wondering how others have approached this - storing multi-byte names
and addresses for non-English languages.

I don't think we're approaching the demarcation line where an NLS
implementation would be warranted, with the Administrative overhead that
incurs. We are doing a lot more other language business though since we are
opening more and more off-shore call centers, and have deployed multiple non
English language websites.

Our immediate need just relates to Name, and ship to / bill to addresses,
such words as "Mosiężno-Żelaznych".

Thanks in advance for the always enlightening insights.

-Baker
