XML+MySQL+UTF8 = MISERY
Hi all, In Rev (version 4.0) on a Mac : 1. Build an xml file starting with a 'shell' : put revCreateXMLTree( encodeUtf8( merge(fld XMLshell)), true,true,false) into tmp 1a. the shell has the header: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8? 1b. the encodeUtf8 function: return uniDecode(uniEncode(pStr,UTF8),english) 2. I add about a thousand nodes to the xml. (It's a branching survey.) 3. I save it with: put tXML into URL (file: tDestinationFilePath) where tDestinationFilePath is a local file 4. The file is copied to a remote server 5. I download it in a Rev app via FTP (using libURL) 6. In the app, I make a new xml tree: put revCreateXMLTree( tXML, false, true, false) into tTreeID 6a I 'score' the survey by updating attributes and contents, 6b I put the xml into a variable: put encodeUtf8( revXMLText( tID ,,true)) into tData 6c I save it back to the FTP server. 7. I download the file as in step 5 and work with it and save it via FTP, ad infinitum = ALL THE ABOVE STEPS WORK RELIABLY = Now I want to alter the sequence to store the scored survey xml in a MySQL database : 1. As above 2. As above 3. As above 4. As above 5. As above 6. As above 6a As above 6b I upload the scored survey to a MySQL database on the remote server, first escaping it: put revXMLText( gTaxoDataA[gCurrentSlot][kID] ,,true) into tXML replace \ with \\ in tXML replace quote with \ quote in tXML replace ' with \' in tXML replace tab with \t in tXML replace cr with \n in tXML put encodeUtf8( tXML ) into tData 6c I use INSERT to put tData into a column named xml in the MySQL database 6d Using other tools like Navicat, I see that the xml column does indeed contain the xml 7. I use a SELECT statement to retreive the xml, and attempt to make an xml tree again BUT no matter what I do with encoding or decoding or whatever, I get this error from revCreateXMLTree: xmlerr, can't parse xml no root element -- If I load the file from the first sequence into BBEdit, BBEdit reports that it is utf8, with Unix (LF) line endings. -- If save the xml I get back from the MySQL in the second sequence--as a file or a binfile--and load the file into BBEdit, BBEdit reports that it is utf8, with Classic Mac (CR) line endings. I thought, Oh boy! thats it! but NO. I replaced numToChar(13) with numToChar(10) in the xml from MySQL, but still the same error on attempting to make an xml tree. The xml itself looks identical and BBEdit says there are no differences, but it also says there are about 7000 more characters in the MySQL version! What's up with that? Does anything stand out to those of you who have used MySQL? and revXML? and utf8?

Re: Rev Create XML Tree
Ray, I don't think emdashes are allowed inside XML. You emdash is in a node content or a tag? If it is in a node content and you encoded it like emdash; then it will not work because the only escaping that xml knows by default is amp; so if you encode your emdash like amp;emdash; and you do a double decode when you want to use the content like first making the amp; into and then the emdash; back into a real emdash, it should work. You can make your XML an UTF8 file and use emdashes directly as well. The above solution is to keep things under pure ascii charset. You might conside passing your xml first thru uniDecode before trying to pass it thru revcreatexmltree as well, this might help you keep your emdashes without any conversion to xml entities.

Re: Rev Create XML Tree

Hi Simon, there is a lot of material online although it can take awhile to find. I've compiled some of the most interesting looking links below (if anyone knows of others sites please let me know). Keep in mind that the BYU course material is all online, so you don't have to signup or register for anything on that site.

Re: XML-RPC doc
Andre, I just added my personal weblog library to RevOnline. It has code for Blogger, Metaweblog and ATOM. It is an extensive library but it is not complete (I don't remember supporting every method but the ones I use) For years I kept this just to myself but I don't see any reason not to share it now. It will allow you to post to wordpress in a single call. It has some support for * Blogger API 1.0 and some of the 2.0 calls (2.0 was never released, but blogger2.post was implemented by Pyra and still works) * Metaweblog API 1.0 * ATOM API 1.0 (Never used it but implemented it anyway, I think it is untested... at least, I don't recall testing it but looking at the code, I don't believe I would write that amount of code without testing so I probably tested it and forgot.)

Re: bad xml files for rev 4.0
Hi Francois (sorry can't find the cecile) Thank you for the list of affected entries, tho I really wish you'd give me more then 2 Hours to respond to you directly, before you go public with BvG Docu bugs :P --- Short version: RunRev has made errors when they created some of the XML files. I have filed relevant bug reports. I have uploaded a version that works. It replaces the faulty entries with those from 3.5 (stored in custom properties), but only if the version is 4.0: http://bjoernke.com/bvgdocu/bvg_docu1.5.rev --- --- Long Version: The problem here is, RunRev did butcher the xml files _again_ (kinda seems like they aim to do that with every release...). They didn't find this out themselves, because they have long ago given up on using 'proper' xml. Basically they use the fault-ignoring version of the revCreateXMLTree command. BvG Docu however does not, and therefore fails at parsing their malformed xml. See their line vs. my line: put revCreateXMLTree(tData,false, true, false) into tTree -- theirs put revcreatexmltree(theXML,true,true,false) into theID --mine Really fixing that particular problem is not easy. A quick workaround is to set the relevant line in BvG Docu to accept false xml too, or write your own parser that looks for false chars in the content of the tags before passing it on to the xml function (nontrivial and slow). Another workaround is to copy the relevant files from a 3.5 version export into your 4.0 folder, thereby replacing the faulty files. I have chosen to include the correct versions of 3.5 as properties, and include those instead of the faulty ones that come with 4.0. Problematic entries are those that link to , , or (etc.) in their see also part, because RunRev didn't encode these, which understandably confuses every xml parser that expects proper xml. In addition, all appearance of these chars in the descriptions have been erroneously removed. Finally, there's a problem with illegal nesting in the entry for cancel. --- For the same information, see bugs 8462, 8463 and 8464.

[OT] Figuring Out XML Error?
Hi List: Was wondering if any XML savvy folks out there might know how to track down/correct a formatting error (?) in an XML file.

Re: [OT] Figuring Out XML Error?
Hi Scott, Did your brother test what occurs in applying the rev command : put uniEncode(fileURL,UTF8) into fileURL to the text file before sending it to the proprietary software used to output the XML file?

Re: [OT] Figuring Out XML Error?
Scott I tried to open it with something (not Rev) that parses XML and get the following error: 'The entity aacute was referenced, but not declared.' Entities are different between html and xml, and XML only supports a few as standard. Others have to be declared. (From my crusty memory. ) Is this Microsoft's open xml format by the way?

Re: [OT] Figuring Out XML Error?
Hi Scott Thanks for looking Peter. It seems possible to discern the error even just using a Web browser, but how to correct it? By referring to a couple of tutorials and the dictionary, I managed to cobble together this simple skeleton of how to correct the file using RunRev. I'm sure that most people on this list could do better: By referring to a couple of tutorials and the dictionary set the defaultFolder to /Users/peter/Desktop put url (file: document.xml) into myXML replace aacute; with numToChar(195) numToChar(161) in myXML replace eacute; with numtoChar(195) numToChar(169) in myXML -- etc. put myXML into url (file: newdocument.xml) In case it isn't obvious what the above script does is change all the occurrences of aacute; to the UTF-8 character sequence for a small a with an acute accent. It does the same to a small e with an acute accent. Unfortunately, their are a lot more to add. I'm not aware of a programatic way of converting from HTML escape characters to UTF-8. I did test against the file you supplied and it worked in the sense that the XML validator found a different error. I hope this helps.

I think a couple of things are missing in the document to allow using the intended schema(s). At the top, the standalone parameter is set to yes which is meant to indicate that a non-validating parser can interpret the document without reference to external items such as schemas or DTDs. And none of the namespace declarations have schemaLocation attributes which tell you where to find the schema content. They should look something like this, I think, to enable looking up the schema content: abc:document xmlns:abc=http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/wordprocessingml/2006/main abc:schemaLocation=http://path.to.schema/location; ... /abc:document (Be warned!

Re: XML Validation:
XML Schema validation is a different animal from DTD validation.

That's why I'm being a bit picky about the actual data structure, and making it as lean and fast as possible. ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Tree Arrays: putting XML in nested arrays
*Aim* I am trying to define a generic data structure for storing tree structures such as XML documents in the new nested arrays. I'd ike to use this structure to store XML documents, and to store the tree data structures I use for tree widgets. I'd like it to be simpler to use, understand and debug, than the XML external. NB - I remember a reference to some scripts that took XML and created the new nested arrays. Anyone remember where it is - couldn't find it? This post is a work in progress - brain dump. I hope it's useful. It helps me structure my coding to write it up a bit first, and hopefully helps others with similar issues. *Key Words* XML, tree widgets, nested data structures, design patterns, nested arrays, regular epressions *The Problem* I'm working on a script to change one XML document into another - it is the sort of thing XSLT http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt isused for. So what would be a good way (design pattern) to convert one XML tree into another in Revolution? Ideally this structure would work for XML - but also more general tree structures where the node names could be complete lines of text (and not simply single word xml node names), such as you might have in an indented field. There are all sorts of uses for this - lets take a recent example I've had to do - translating rev htmltext to xHtml basichttp://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-basic/: which essentially involves taking elements like As an example of the sort of hacks Id like to avoid - here is a function that I came up with for the xHtml basic http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-basic/use case: function html_RevToBoldSpan someHtml put (?miU)(b).*(/b) into someReg -- put (?mi)(b)[^\]*(/b) into someReg repeat if matchchunk(someHtml, someReg, oTagStart, oTagEnd, cTagStart, cTagEnd) is true then put /span into char cTagStart to cTagEnd of someHtml put span style='font-weight:bold' into char oTagStart to oTagEnd of someHtml else return someHtml end if end repeat end html_RevToBoldSpan Tip - for those of you that have delved into regular expressions - this script illustrates a new trick I've found with regular expressions - the use of U to force no-greedy matching - (?miU) at the beginning of a regexp causes the match to be multi-line (m), case insensitive (i) and non-greedy (U). This problem with scripts like this is that they cannot deal with true nested formatting tags - for that you need to walk the tag tree - which is what I'd like to do next: Here were my initial thoughts on a simple start based on renaming XML nodes: 1. Create an XML Tree for the original XML 2. Create a new one for the transformed XML 3. Write a recursive function to walk the tree - starting at the root node, getting its children and recursing 4. Have the recursive function make a call to a translate function which uses an array to store the new tag names as the contents of nested keys - this could be an array or use the xml treeID Somehow I need to include the general ability to use node attributes to determine the new node name - so that: span style='font-weight:bold' = b span style='color:#FF'Red/span = font color=#FF I think what I'd really like to do all this with arrays rather than XML treeIDs - that is: 1. Create an XML Tree for the original XML and convert it to an array 2. Write a recursive function to walk the array - starting at the root node, getting its children and recursing 3. Have the recursive function make a call to a translate function which uses an array to store the new tag names as the contents of nested keys - building a new transformed array as it goes 4. Create a new XML document from the transformed Array What I need to decide is: - what sort of structure to use for this generic array, and not so critically - how to implement some sort of plugin to this design pattern so it is easy do a variety of transformations easily and intuitively. *Nested Array Data Structure* For the array structure I want to use the new nested arrays, and also to be able to store attributes of nodes - something like: node_1 node_1_1 node_1_1_1 node_1_2 Puttin an XML tree like that above into a nested array we could then do things like: - put treeArray [node_1][node_1_2] into nodeContents - put treeArray [node_1][node_1_2][attribute][style] into nodeStyle With the attributes it gets ugly, and would require filtering out the attribute key, and naming it in some unique as possible way. So probably better to store a separate attribute branch of the array? - put treeArray [_tree][node_1][node_1_2] into nodeContents - put treeArray [_attribute][node_1][node_1_2][style] into nodeStyle *What about duplicate nodes?* This is where I get a bit stuck, as there are still problems: for instance at the moment the structure does not allow for duplicate nodes (which are very common

Re: XML question
I'm assuming this refers to the XML files the documentation is in. They are packaged by Rev as follows: XML Data (without DTD) is put into a customproperty named c number, where number is mostly random (as far as i can tell). This customproperty is in a stack called revDocClump_ number, they are numbered continuously. This stack is is saved at this place: .../3.0.0-gm-3/Documentation/ packaged_xml/dictionary (or glossary instead of dictionary). In the same folder is a plain text file called clumps.index that describes in which rev stack what clumps are saved. One folder up (packaged_xml), you'll find the dict.index file. Itcontains several data points about the entries (some information is in there but not in the xml data). This list is also used to create the listing of terms for the build in documentation. If you want just the dictionary files, it's probably easisest to let BvG Docu extract them for you, and use the dict.index file yourself (bvg docu names the files appropriately, so they work with the existing index file).

Re: XML encoding oddities
Thanks Trevor! (Also Ken). That seems to work very well. The particular problem I was trying to solve was how to serialize arrays with arbitrary keys and contents, such that they can be shared across networks and platforms. I think I've found a solution for my purposes, (though it won't be reliable with binary data), and it involves building the xml without the xml library, and then using the library to unserialize - though it fails if there is any ?xml... header at all!

Re: XML encoding oddities
Trevor, this is nice. I'd started doing something similar, but then realised that what I was after for what I'm working on was a way to neatly package up pretty much any non-binary data, array or not, whatever platform, and send to to a linux server (also running revolution) where it could be unpacked and used as is - hence the encoding issue. What I've come up with is considerably longer than yours :-) (Partly because I've factored out quite a lot of stuff to sub-handlers). But it seems to work well, and even produces slightly more compact output than yours when dealing with chunks of data 2-3Kb or more in size, which is no bad thing even in today's bandwidth? what's bandwidth? world. I also wrote a handy function arraysMatch() to test the input/output. For what it's worth, here it all is, below, Best, Mark -- pack and unpack are the 'high-level' functions function pack pData if pData is not an array then put pData into tArray[futpak] put tArray into pData end if put atx(pData) into tXml put base64encode(compress(tXml)) into tB64data replace cr with empty in tB64data return futpak tB64data end pack - function unpack pData if char 1 to 6 of pData is not futpak then return empty put decompress(base64decode(char 7 to -1 of pData)) into tXml put xta(tXml) into tArray if keys(tArray) = futpak then return tArray[futpak] else return tArray end if end unpack -- -- turns any revolution array into xml.

Re: Cleaning/parsing HTML XML
Willian, I usually use Ken Rays stsXMLLib which I grew very fond of. A nice way of escaping XML entities is to use a custom property as a little map, for example: gt; lt; amp; Then you do a loop like: repeat for each line tEntry in the cReplacementMap of this stack replace word 1 of tEntry with word 2 of tEntry in theText end repeat this way, if you ever need to escape something more, you don't need to change your code. I have a lot of XML, XHTML, *ML code here and I find that every time I hard code something like a collection of things to replace of thing like that, in the end, I need to change and fix several parts of the code. custom properties are your friend!

Mark Thanks. I hadn't realized there were so few to worry about. I will write a function that is exactly the opposite of the one you wrote (because I am converting SQL data to XML).

XML encoding oddities
I'm seeing some (I think) very strange behaviour from the XML library... (warning, this is quite long, and won't be of much interest to anyone who isn't using the library...) This is on an intel macintosh, OS 10.4.11 In a button, I have the following script: - on mouseUp put toXml() into tXml put tXml cr fromXml(tXml) end mouseUp function toXml put whatshappening/whatshappening into tXml put revCreateXmlTree(tXml, true, true, false) into tTree put revXmlRootNode(tTree) into tNode revAddXmlNode tTree, tNode, name, fred put revXmlText(tTree) into tText revDeleteXmlTree tTree return tText end toXml function fromXml pXml put revCreateXmlTree(pXml, true, true, false) into tTree put revXmlRootNode(tTree) into tNode put revXmlFirstChild(tTree, tNode) into tChild put revXmlNodeContents(tTree, tChild) into tContent revDeleteXmlTree(tTree) return tChild cr tContent end fromXml - The output is: ?xml version=1.0? whatshappeningnamefred/name/whatshappening /whatshappening/name fred So all is good. If I change fred in the toXml function to fréd, (acute accent on the 'e'), I get this: ?xml version=1.0? whatshappeningname/name/whatshappening /whatshappening/name The content has simply disappeared, so I guess I need to encode non- ascii material. OK, but as what? (ideally UTF-8), and how do I indicate what I've done in my xml document? However, if I now add an accented string as an attribute: - function toXml put whatshappening/whatshappening into tXml put revCreateXmlTree(tXml, true, true, false) into tTree put revXmlRootNode(tTree) into tNode revAddXmlNode tTree, tNode, name, fred revSetXmlAttribute tTree, tNode /name, orig, fréd put revXmlText(tTree) into tText revDeleteXmlTree tTree return tText end toXml function fromXml pXml put revCreateXmlTree(pXml, true, true, false) into tTree put revXmlRootNode(tTree) into tNode put revXmlFirstChild(tTree, tNode) into tChild put revXmlNodeContents(tTree, tChild) into tContent put revXmlAttribute(tTree, tChild, orig) into tAtt revDeleteXmlTree(tTree) return tChild cr tContent cr tAtt end fromXml - I get: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=ISO-8859-1? whatshappeningname orig=frédfred/name/whatshappening /whatshappening/name fred fr¬éd An encoding attribute has now been aded to the xml header, and some version of the orig attribute value (not ISO-8859-1, as far as I can tell) has been produced. So, finally, is there a way to encode xml documents as UTF-8 (or whatever) without having to encode each part myself, and add the encoding attribute to the header myself? What is slightly worrying is that it seems the library will add an encoding attribute to the header in some circumstances, but not others. Ken (if you're reading this), does your library deal with this stuff better?
