I wanted to apply a style, strikethrough in this case, to the object's text, but I have encountered some problems for when the attribute contains an OLE Object.
Doing obj."Object Text" = richText obj."Object Text""" does not work as it takes away the OLE.
obj."Object Text" = richTextWithOle "{\\strike " o."Object Text" "}" does not work because richTextWithOle does not accept a string as parameter, only attributes.
obj."Object Text" = richText "{\\strike " o."Object Text" "}" stops Doors from responding, probably with no recover, as I waited like 5 minutes, from a small module with a single OLE, before force closing the instance.
Is this actually possible? If so, is there a way to achieve this?
Thank you for your answers.
First of all, I would take a small step back and have a look at what you may try to achieve in the end. If you want to mark requirements according to their state, I would suggest to use a separate attribute, which shows the actual validity of an object (e.g. "valid", "invalid", "tbd" or something along those lines) and not strike through the Object Text.
The other issue, that I would have is the "coarseness" of your requirements, which may result in a better separation between a textual requirement and a picture requirement or diagram, that illustrates something in more detail. Maybe the first step would be to clean up the requirements, i.e. to have them separated in a certain way, which also would make your strike-through issue more manageable.
Let me know, if that helped you. If not, maybe you actually have to build a DXL Script, which for example parses the content of an Object Text and goes through the rich text tags and handles them accordingly.

I am trying to read a text in a given rectangle using readText() function.
The function works correctly except when it has to read some text which has special characters like ' _ & etc.
I tried using validCharacters with readText() function. But it didn't help.
Code -
put ReadText((287,125,810,164),validCharacters:"_-'.ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz01234567890") into Login
I tried working with character collections. But that doesn't seem to be right because the text trying to pick is a dynamic text combination of numbers alphabets and a special character. So one cannot create a library of character collection of every alphabet (a-z, A-Z), numbers(0-9) and special characters.
Example of text trying to read:
Login_Userid1_1, Login'Userid1_1
So how do I read such text correctly
Debugging OCR is a bit of an imprecise science. EggPlant has a lot of OCR Parameters to tweak. When designing test cases it's best to try use other mechanisms to gather information whenever possible. ReadText() should be considered a last resort when more reliable methods are unavailable. When I've used it I've often needed to do a lot of trial and error to find the right set of settings, and SearchRectangle to get consistent results. Without seeing exactly what images you are trying to read text from it's difficult to impossible to troubleshoot where the issue might be.
One thing that does stand out to me is that you're trying to read strings that may contain underscores. ReadText() has an optional property IgnoreUnderscores which treats underscores as spaces. By default this property is set to ON. It defaults to ON because some OCR engines have problems identifying underscore characters consistently.
If you want to have ReadText() handle underscores you'll want to explicitly set this property to OFF.
ReadText(rect, validCharacters:chars, ignoreUnderscores:OFF)
I have some words in my language (German) that seem to be valid according to TexStudios spellchecker.
However they must not be used for my thesis (and globally for me at least).
Is it possible to add words to a list, that trigger a (optimally huge) sign "DO NOT USE THIS!" or even prevent compilation in Latex when such words are used?
I'm looking for something like a negative dictionary.
I've seen files like "badwords" or "stopwords" but don't know when/how they are used. I can freely use them although "check for bad words" is on.
In case anyone else has the problem: Badword files are named after the main language. For me it happened that I have "de_DE_frami" as the dictionary set. Hence it did not use the "de_DE.badwords".
For a good highlighting: One can change the appearance in the options dialog (syntaxhighlighting->badwords) and make it e.g. background red, size 200%
I'd still would like to have a "bad" words and a "impossible" words distinction as you can sometimes not avoid "bad" words or they are not bad in all contexts.
I am working with snippets in Sublime Text 2/3 and would like to know if there is any way to remove spaces from mirrored fields.
An example:
Variable Description = "$1";
{$1}
Should become the following, if the user were to type in: Dinner Time
Variable Description = "Dinner Time";
{DinnerTime}
Haven't done to much with snippets before, but the substitution functionality may get you what you want. Take a look at http://docs.sublimetext.info/en/latest/extensibility/snippets.html#substitutions
If I had to guess though, it would be something like ${1/\s//g}
I've got an application that bridges our help desk system with TFS (one way from Help Desk to TFS). When I create the work item in TFS, in some situations I'm getting an "InvalidCharacters" validation error.
The field I'm using is the standard "Description" field, which is defined as "Plain Text" in the Work Item definition.
This is only happening on one record, so I'm sure it's the data, but I can't figure out what character is being considered to be invalid. Is there any guidance on what will trigger the InvalidCharacters validation on "Plain Text" fields?
It looks like this field is unable to display the extended ASCII characters. There was an a with an accent grave (à) in the string I was trying to save.
-- EDIT --
This actually became even more frustrating. The character representation when I did a ToCharArray() was "à", however, when I finally found the spot in the string where it was bombing, the actual character was a single-character ellipses (...). Which was probably caused by someone copying and pasting from Word into our help-desk system for comments.
My ultimate resolution was a brute force spin through the char array, replacing any character that had an int value of greater than 127 with something else (in my case, a question mark).
A ‘string’ field is invalid if it contains control characters other than newline, carriage return, and tab or if it contains mismatched surrogate characters. Longtext fields (like plaintext) accept everything except mismatched surrogate pairs. Make sure your copy/paste is resulting in Unicode being pasted in.
You can use a Regex function to compress all white space down to a " " character, such as this:
Regex.Replace( text, #"\s+", " " );
Although that actually strips more than you technically need to, since it takes out newline, carriage return and tab too.
Hope this helps!
Here's my wild and whacky psuedo-code. Anyone know how to make this real?
Background:
This dynamic content comes from a ckeditor. And a lot of folks paste Microsoft Word content in it. No worries, if I just call the attribute untouched it loads pretty. But the catch is that I want it to be just 125 characters abbreviated. When I add truncation to it, then all of the Microsoft Word scripts start popping up. Then I added simple_format, and sanitize, and truncate, and even made my controller start spotting out specific variables that MS would make and gsub them out. But there's too many of them, and it seems like an awfully messy way to accomplish this. Thus so! Realizing that by itself, its clean. I thought, why not just slice it. However, the microsoft word text becomes blank but still holds its numbered position in the string. So I came up with this (probably awful) solution below.
It's in three steps.
When the text parses, it doesn't display any of the MSWord junk. But that text still holds a number position in a slice statement. So I want to use a regexp to find the first actual character.
Take that character and find out what its numbered position is in the total string.
Use a slice statement to cut it from.
def about_us_truncated
x = self.about_us.find.first(regExp representing first actual character)
x.charCount = y
self.about_us[y..125]
end
The only other idea i got, is a regex statement that allows it to explicitly slice only actual characters like so :
about_us([a-zA-Z][0..125]) , but that is definately not how it is written.
Here is some sample text of MS Word junk :
≪! [If Gte Mso 9]>≪Xml>≪Br /> ≪O:Office Document Settings>≪Br /> ≪O:Allow Png/>≪Br /> ≪/O:Off...
You haven't provided much information to go off of, but don't be too leery of trying to build this regex on your own before you seek help...
Take your sample text and paste it in Rubular in the test string area and start building your regex. It has a great quick reference at the bottom.
Stumbled across this
http://gist.github.com/139987
it looks like it requires the sanitize gem.
This is technically not a straight answer, but it seems like the best possible one you can find.
In order to prevent MS Word, you should be using CK Editor's built-in MS word sanitizer. This is because writing regex for it can be very complicated and you can very easily break tags in half and destroy your site with it.
What I did as a workaround, is I did a force paste as plain text in the CK Editor.
