I am opening up .txt files but when they are loaded on Xojo weird characters like these (’ , â€ک) show up.
I've tried DefineEncoding and ConvertEncoding but it still doesn't seem to work.
output.text = output.text.DefineEncoding(Encodings.WindowsANSI)
output.text = output.text.ConvertEncoding(Encodings.UTF8)
You may have to define the encoding already at time of loading, not afterwards, or you'll get UTF8 chara from loading that you will then mess up with your posted code. So, pass the encoding to the Read function or load the data as a binary file, not as a text file.

We have a link module that looks something like this:
const string lMod = "/project/_admin/somethingÜ" // Umlaut
We later use the linkMod like this to loop through the outlinks:
for a in obj->lMod do {}
But this only works when executing directly from DOORS and not from a batch script since it for some reason doesn't recognize the Umlaut causing the inside of the loop to never to be run; exchanging lMod with "*" works and also shows the objects linked to by the lMod.
We are already using UTF-8 encoding for the file:
pragma encoding, "UTF-8"
Any solutions are welcome.
Encode the file as UTF-8 in Notepad++ by going to Encoding > Convert to UTF-8. (Make sure it's not already set to UTF-8 before you do it).
I need some help with PHPEXCEL library, everything works great, I'm successfully extracting my SQL query to excel5 file, I need to give this file to transport company in order to auto collect informations about packages, unfotunately the generated excel file has some ascii characters between each letter of the cell text, and when the excel file is imported you need to manually delete these charaters.
If I open the excel file, everything is fine I see: COMPANY NAME, If I open the excel file with notepad++, I see the cell values this way: C(NUL)O(NUL)M(NUL)P(NUL)A(NUL)N(NUL)Y N(NUL)A(NUL)M(NUL)E
If I open again the file with excel and save, then reopen with notepad++ I see COMPANY NAME.
So I do not understan why every time I create an excel file using PHPEXCEL my every letter of all words are filled with (nul) every letter.
So how do I prevent the generated excel file to include (nul) between every word????
Also if you open the original excel file generated from PHPExcel samples are also filled with (nul) and if you open and save it, the (nul) is gone.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
what is the (nul) ??? 0x00??? char(0)???
ok, here is the example:
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', TRUE);
ini_set('display_startup_errors', TRUE);
date_default_timezone_set('Europe/London');
if (PHP_SAPI == 'cli')
die('Disponibile solo su browser');
require_once dirname(__FILE__) . '/Classes/PHPExcel.php';
$objPHPExcel = new PHPExcel();
$objPHPExcel->getProperties()->setCreator("Solidus")
->setLastModifiedBy("Solidus")
->setTitle("Import web")
->setSubject("Import File")
->setDescription("n.a")
->setKeywords("n.a")
->setCategory("n.a");
$objPHPExcel->setActiveSheetIndex(0)
->setCellValueExplicit("A1", "COMPANY")
->setCellValue('A2', 'SAMSUNG');
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->setTitle('DDT');
$objPHPExcel->setActiveSheetIndex(0);
header('Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-excel');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment;filename="TEST.xls"');
header('Cache-Control: max-age=0');
header('Cache-Control: max-age=1');
header('Cache-Control: private',false);
$objWriter = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createWriter($objPHPExcel, 'Excel5');
ob_end_clean();
$objWriter->save('php://output');
As you can see from this little example, this scripts creates a file excel5 with 2 cells, A1 = COMPANY, A2 = SAMSUNG
when I send this file to the transport company, they import the file into their system, but as you can see from the picture, there is an weird character between each letter.
so I noticed every time I open the generated Excel5 with notepad++ file I get:
S(nul)A(nul)M(nul)S(nul)U(nul)N(nul)G
If I save the save with excel and then open it again with notepad++ I get:
SAMSUNG
and this file is ok for the transport company
so my question is, how should I avoid the file generated to contain thi '(nul) charachter between each letter????
some help?
weird characters
SAMSUNG
I found the soluion by myself, I explain just in case anyone has also this problem:
there is not way to change the way the excelfile is encoded by PHPEXCEL
so I figured out the problem was reading the file, I did some simulations and reproduce the problem, every time a read the file and put the result into inputs a get weird characters:
C�O�M�P�A�N�Y�
If I set the output enconding enconding as follows:
$excel->setOutputEncoding('UTF-8');
the file loads fine, so the problem was not creating the excel file, but reading the excel file.
If I print the variable with ECHO I get: "COMPANY",
if I put the variable on input as value I get: "C�O�M�P�A�N�Y�"
setting the output solves the problem, but I would like to know why the difference when I put the variable on input as value, thanks
I am facing problem when passing value for url through data field.
I am passing value in goto url like this
="javascript:void(window.open('file:" &Fields!url.Value &"','_blank'))"
url value = /servername/foldername/FormuláriodeCalibração.xls
After report deployed and opened in internet explorer and clicked on the url. It is changing the url like this
/servername/foldername/FormuláriodeCalibração.xls
because of which I am unable to open the file.
Please help me in this.
Finally we come up with a solution of replacing non ASCII characters of Portuguese with HTML ASCII Codes.
For e.g. this is the actual file name of the attachment
TE-5180FormuláriodeCalibração(modelo)1271440308393(2)1338379011084.xls
We replaced the Portuguese characters with HTML ASCII Codes.
TE-5180FormuláriodeCalibração(modelo)1271440308393(2)1338379011084.xls
After these changes the above modified URL is passed in the place of actual URL and when it hits the server it was decoded properly and worked as expected.
I am trying to download a source code file from a web site which works fine for small files, but a couple of larger ones get truncated.
The example below should be returning a file 146,135 bytes in size, but returns one of 141,194 bytes with a status of 200.
I have tried winhttp.winhttprequest.5.1 as well, but both seem to truncate at the same point.
I have also found quite a few people with similar problems, but have not been able to find a solution.
require('luacom')
http = luacom.CreateObject('MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP')
http:Open("GET","http://www.family-historian.co.uk/wp-content/plugins/forced-download2/download.php?path=/wp-content/uploads/formidable/tatewise/&file=Map-Life-Facts3.fh_lua&id=190",true)
http:Send()
http:WaitForResponse(30)
print('Status: '..http.Status)
print('----------------------------------------------------------------')
headers = http:GetAllResponseHeaders()
data = http.Responsetext
print('Data Size = '..#data)
print('----------------------------------------------------------------')
print(headers)
I finally worked out what was going on so will post it here for others.
To avoid the truncation I needed to use ResponseBody and not ResponseText, what appears to be happening is the file is being sent in binary format, the ResponseText data is the same number of bytes as the ResponseBody one, but is in UTF-8 format, this means the number if special characters in the file (which are double byte in UTF-8 are dropped from the end of the ResponseText. I am not sure at what level the "mistake" in the length is made, but the way to avoid it is to use ResponseBody.
I read an Excel 2003 file with a text editor to see some markup language.
When I open the file in Excel it displays incorrect characters. On inspection of the file I see that the encoding is Windows 1252 or some such. If I manually replace this with UTF-8, my file opens fine. Ok, so far so good, I can correct the thing manually.
Now the trick is that this file is generated automatically, that I need to process it automatically (no human interaction) with limited tools on my desktop (no perl or other scripting language).
Is there any simple way to open this XL file in VBA with the correct encoding (and ignore the encoding specified in the file)?
Note, Workbook.ReloadAs does not function for me, it bails out on error (and requires manual action as the file is already open).
Or is the only way to correct the file to go through some hoops? Either: text in, check line for encoding string, replace if required, write each line to new file...; or export to csv, then import from csv again with specific encoding, save as xls?
Any hints appreciated.
EDIT:
ADODB did not work for me (XL says user defined type, not defined).
I solved my problem with a workaround:
name2 = Replace(name, ".xls", ".txt")
Set wb = Workbooks.Open(name, True, True) ' open read-only
Set ws = wb.Worksheets(1)
ws.SaveAs FileName:=name2, FileFormat:=xlCSV
wb.Close False ' close workbook without saving changes
Set wb = Nothing ' free memory
Workbooks.OpenText FileName:=name2, _
Origin:=65001, _
DataType:=xlDelimited, _
Comma:=True
Well I think you can do it from another workbook. Add a reference to AcitiveX Data Objects, then add this sub:
Sub Encode(ByVal sPath$, Optional SetChar$ = "UTF-8")
Dim stream As ADODB.stream
Set stream = New ADODB.stream
With stream
.Open
.LoadFromFile sPath ' Loads a File
.Charset = SetChar ' sets stream encoding (UTF-8)
.SaveToFile sPath, adSaveCreateOverWrite
.Close
End With
Set stream = Nothing
Workbooks.Open sPath
End Sub
Then call this sub with the path to file with the off encoding.
