Hey, I am working on a project that involves a url "forwarder" (like bit.ly or tinyurl.com, but we don't really need it to be short). For that, I need to "generate" alphanumeric strings (I explicitly want alphanumeric) to map to each url. One of the options would be generate a random string and store it somewhere. However, I'd like to ...
I have a simple XmlReader: XmlReader r = XmlReader.Create(fileName); while (r.Read()) { Console.WriteLine(r.Value); } The problem is, the Xml file has ISO-8859-9 characters in it, which makes XmlReader throw "Invalid character in the given encoding." exception. I can solve this problem with adding <?xml version="1.0" encoding="IS...
When adding user input to a web page, it should (unless it's HTML of course :) be encoded to help prevent XSS attacks etc.. like this: litForename.Text = HttpUtility.HtmlEncode(MyUser.Forename); I'm putting together a template to generate my business logic layer, and I'm thinking of using it to do all the encoding as soon as the data ...
I know I'm having a problem with a conversion from Unicode but I'm not sure where it's happening. I'm extracting data about a recent Eruopean trip from a directory of HTML files. Some of the location names have non-ASCII characters (such as é, ô, ü). I'm getting the data from a string representation of the the file using regex. If i ...
Is there any practical difference between "7bit" and "quoted-printable" as Content-Transfer-Encoding in email? From all I could gather the encoding schemes are virtually identical. ...

Hi, I need a way to detect whether a file contains characters from a certain charset. Specifically, I want to detect the presence of UTF8-encoded cyrillic characters in a series of files. Is there a tool to do this? Thanks ...
I am Encrypted using AES and passing in querystring, will Html.Encode convert all the characters properly such that calling Decode will result in the same string? ...
I've heard there are (used to be?) ambiguous mappings between Unicode and SHIFT_JIS codes. This KB article somewhat proves this. So the question is: will I lose any data if I take SHIFT_JIS-encoded text, convert it to Unicode and back? Details: I'm talking about Windows (XP and on) and .NET (which in theory relies on NLS API). ...
My JSON that is being returned from my ASP.NET MVC application looks like this: {code: "1", error: "0", output: "<div class="a1"><div class="b1">this is fasta's</div></div>} It is not working because I am not escaping it properly. I'm not using a JSON library, can someone recommend a function that would clean up my HTML so this works...
Is there any way I can convert a document being parsed by dom4j's SAXReader from the ISO-8859-2 encoding to UTF-8? I need that to happen while parsing, so that the objects created by dom4j are already Unicode/UTF-8 and running code such as: "some text".equals(node.getText()); returns true. ...

I'm trying to encode data to JSON in Python and I been having a quite a bit of trouble. I believe the problem is simply a misunderstanding. I'm relatively new to Python and never really got familiar with the various Python data types, so that's most likely what's messing me up. Currently I am declaring a list, looping through and ano...
I am writing a Java text component, and is trying to partially load some large text file in the middle (for speed reasons). My question is if the text is in some multi-bytes encoding format, like UTF8, Big5, GBK, etc. How can I align the bytes so that I can correctly decode the text? ...
I wrote an application that encrypts text in this way: Get the input text Reverse the text Convert to hexadecimal XOR with a key Base64 encode Now, I didn't do a lot of encryption/encoding myself, so my question might sound stupid, but, say I get a file which has a content from the above algorithm and I didn't know about this algorit...
Hello! I have a database with lots of strings. Some of them are correctly UTF-8 encoded, some of them not. Therefore, I've set up a script which selects 100 strings from the db. The following function decides whether a string contains UTF-8 or not (no matter if it's correct): function detectUTF8($text) { return preg_match('%(?: ...
EDIT: After feedback from my original post, I've change the text to clarify my problem. I have the following query (pseudo code): $conn = mysql_connect('localhost', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password'); mysql_query("SET NAMES 'utf8'; COLLATE='utf8_danish_ci';"); mysql_query("SELECT id FROM myTable WHERE name = 'Fióre`s måløye'", $conn); ...
In C#.NET, I want to fetch data from an URL and save it to a file in binary. Using HttpWebRequest/Streamreader to read into a string and saving using StreamWriter works fine with ASCII, but non-ASCII characters get mangled because the Systems thinks it has to worry about Encodings, encode to Unicode or from or whatever. What is the ea...
How to strip the 8th bit in a KOI8-R encoded character so as to have translit for a Russian letter? In particular, how to make it in Python? ...
This Python script gets translit for Russian letters: s = u'Код Обмена Информацией, 8 бит'.encode('koi8-r') print ''.join([chr(ord(c) & 0x7F) for c in s]) # kOD oBMENA iNFORMACIEJ, 8 BIT That works. But I want to modify it so as to get user input. Now I'm stuck at this: s = raw_input("Enter a string you want to translit: ") s = unic...
