Specifically, Sql Server 2005/T-Sql. I have a field that is mostly a series of two characters, and they're all supposed to be upper case but there's some legacy data that predates the current DB/System, and I need to figure out which records are in violation of the upper casing covenant. I thought this would work: select * from tbl wh...
I'm looking to convert a string of html entities specifying ASCII codes (ie: a) to the ASCII characters they represent (ie: a). I'm using a property of an object and trying to assign a value. For instance: object.Text(""); When I pass is the string representing the entity, I get the same string back. I can't find the function to c...
Scenario: I have a document I created using LaTeX (my resume in this case), it's compiling in pdflatex correctly and outputting exactly what I'd like. Now I need the same document to be converted to plain old ASCII. Example: I have seen this done (at least once) here, where the author has a PDF version and an ASCII version that matche...
This is a duplicate of http://stackoverflow.com/questions/277521/how-to-identify-the-file-content-is-in-ascii-or-binary, but since I don't have the rep, I can't edit that question to improve it. Informally, most of us understand that there are 'binary' files (object files, images, movies, executables, proprietary document formats, etc) ...
Here's a quick Perl question: How can I convert HTML special characters like ü or ' to normal ASCII text? I started with something like this: s/\&#(\d+);/chr($1)/eg; and could write it for all HTML characters, but some function like this probably already exists? Note that I don't need a full HTML->Text converter. I alrea...
G'day all, I have an application which needs to display an ASCII file of 15 lines in a Swing component that cannot be edited by the user. Below is my code which reads the ASCII file byte by byte. My thanks to the helpful commenters who explained that a JTextArea.setEditable(false) would be appropriate in Swing. However, my code mer...
Using the Oracle to_char(number) function, is it possible to append ascii characters to the returned string? Specifically, I need to add a percentage character to the returned string. "select to_char(89.2244, '999G999G999G999G990D00') from dual" --> returns "89.22". I need a format pattern that returns "89.22%". I am using this throug...

Hi there, This will surely be an easy one but it is really bugging me. I have a script that reads in a webpage and uses BeutifulSoup to parse it. From the soup I extract all the links as my final goal is to print out the link.contents. All off the text that I am parsing is ASCII. I know that python treats strings as unicode, and I am...
Here is what I currently have so far: void WriteHexToFile( std::ofstream &stream, void *ptr, int buflen, char *prefix ) { unsigned char *buf = (unsigned char*)ptr; for( int i = 0; i < buflen; ++i ) { if( i % 16 == 0 ) { stream << prefix; } stream << buf[i] << ' '; } } I've tried doing stream.hex, str...
Need help with reading special characters within my VB code. ASCII code Char(34) = " works fine but Char(60) = < and Char(62) = > are not being read.

I've an ASCII file that contains an EM Dash (— or — in HTML). The hex value is 0x97. When we pass this file through one application it arrives as UTF-8, and it converts the character to 0xC297, which is — in HTML. However, when we pass this file through a different application it converts the character to 0xE28094 or —. ...
I have a Perl script that is being called by third parties to send me names of people who have registered my software. One of these parties encodes the names in UTF-8, so I have adapted my script accordingly to decode UTF-8 to ASCII with Encode::decode_utf8(...). This usually works fine, but every 6 months or so one of the names contai...

I am writing an article on Unicode and discussing the advantages of this encoding scheme over outdated methods like ASCII. As part of my research I am looking for a reference that listed the languages that could be fully represented using only the characters supported by ASCII. Haven't had much luck tracking it down with Google and I t...
So I ran into a problem.

Hi all, what I want to do is to be able to mount via sshfs some files on the mainframe via USS on my local PC. I can do that but sshfs doesnt do straight off the conversion from EBCDIC to ascii/unicode. Is there any flags that i can set.
