I'm experimenting with internationalization by making a Hello World program that uses properties files + ResourceBundle to get different strings. Specifically, I have a file "messages_en_US.properties" that stores "hello.world=Hello World!", which works fine of course. I then have a file "messages_ja_JP.properties" which I've tried all...
So I need to generate a code that can be tied to a specific user/prospect with a dollar amount built into it. It needs to be reversible so that client application can confirm the validity of the code and apply the discount a manager intends. I'd like to make the code as short as possible but it needs to be well obfuscated so that the s...

I'm writing a Python app that connects to a remote host and receives back byte data, which I unpack using Python's built-in struct module. My problem is with the strings, as they include multiple character e...

One of our providers are sometimes sending XML feeds that are tagged as UTF-8 encoded documents but includes characters that are not included in the UTF-8 charset. This causes the parser to throw an exception and stop building the DOM object when these characters are encountered: DocumentBuilder.parse(ByteArrayInputStream bais) throws...
Hi, I'm working on a legacy app and for whatever reason it's trying to stuff URL-encoded angle brackets into a URL. For example, to get a URL ending with "<sometext>": http://somesite.com/somefolder/%3csometext%3e When the above URL-encoded URL is fetched, it generates a 400 error (Bad Request) on IIS6 and I can't quite figure out why...

I am attempting to start a new Wordpress blog. I am seeing funny characters in some browsers but not others instead of single quotes, double quotes and ellipses. Things I already thought of: The HTML template page for output itself is set to UTF-8 The admin page is UTF-8 The MySQL database tables where the data is stored are UTF-8 en...
I need to include a copyright statement at the top of every Python source file I produce: # Copyright: © 2008 etc. However, when I then run such a file I get this message: SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\xa9' in file MyFile.py on line 3, but no encoding declared; see http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html for details.

We try to convert from string to Byte[] using the following Java code: String source = "0123456789"; byte[] byteArray = source.getBytes("UTF-16"); We get a byte array of length 22 bytes, we are not sure where this padding comes from? how do i get an array of length 20? ...

All the PHP files in my workspace are encoded in Unicode (UTF-8, no BOM). I often duplicate an existing source file to use as a base for a new script. Invariably (with Path Finder or the original Finder), OS X will convert the encoding of the duplicate file to Western (Mac OS Roman). Is there any way to make OS X behave and not convert ...
I have a scrolling LED sign that takes messages in either ASCII or (using some specific code) characters from a custom code page. For example, the euro sign should be sent as <U00> and ä is <U64> (You can find the full code page in the documentation) My question is, what is the most pythonic way to implement this custom code page...
Has anyone noticed that if you retrieve HTML from the clipboard, it gets the encoding wrong and injects weird characters? For example, executing a command like this: string s = (string) Clipboard.GetData(DataFormats.Html) Results in stuff like: <FONT size=-2>Â Â <A href="/advanced_search?hl=en">Advanced Search</A><BR>Â Â <A href="/...
In my web app, my parameters can contain all sorts of crazy characters (russian chars, slashes, spaces etc) and can therefor not always be represented as-is in a URL. Sending them on their merry way will work in about 50% of the cases. Some things like spaces are already encoded somewhere (I'm guessing in the Html.BuildUrlFromExpression ...
I have to connect to a legacy postgre database wich has ENCODING = 'SQL_ASCII';. How do I set this encoding in my rails app? ...
As I understand the spec, a Base64 encoder a) takes the source binary, and pads it out with zeroes to be a multiple of 24 bytes long. b) it then transcodes it, six bits at a time, to the target set of 64 characters (A..Z, a..z, 0..9, +, -). If it finds the last two bytes (16 bits) have been zero-padded, the last two characters are tra...
