Re: [U2] Help in removing erroneous character from data file
So your output file is csv, xml, edi, json, txt ?? If xml a good dtd will find problems for you, anything else you will have to write a little program.

Re: [U2] Help in removing erroneous character from data file {Unclassified}
I can't help finding a certain delicious irony in seeing a UniVerse support request coming from someone who works for the former owner of the product. Gayathru, I expect that IBM India should still have some internal support people who know about UniVerse, or at least know where they've gone. Do you have a local Value Added Reseller or are you a direct support customer of Rocket Software? From your postings, it appears that you have a potentially badly corrupted file and are a little light on in-depth understanding of the platform. You also need to think about how did the bad data get there? The routine that puts the data into your UniVerse file may need amendment to better control the quality of the incoming data, if that is the seat of the problem. Just 'correcting' the apparently bad data may not solve the problem at all Good luck, I'm afraid you're going to need some Mike -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org On Behalf Of ggayat...@in.ibm.com Sent: Friday, 17 September 2010 8:39 p.m. To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: Re: [U2] Help in removing erroneous character from data file Another application had problem processing the file that it had pulled from my application with the data.

This may not fit your specific scenario. On our freeware page is a utility to "Find Bad Characters". It tells you exactly where funky characters are; it doesn't fix them. no.spam.pleaseNebula-RnD.com/freeware/ Always remove part before Nebula. I believe that was written in response to another public forum thread like this. It's a little verbose and not intended to be fast, but it gets the job done. I haven't run it on UD or UV. I welcome changes for a U2-specific version of that code, or a link to an alternative which I will add to that code.
