Hi, caution....BRAN D NEW NEWBIE HERE
I use Quark Docs to create XML using Atomic XPort PE. The Quark docs
are in the form of catalogs and I pull or export the content of the
catalogs out into XML format for web transistion. In some of the XML
I export through Atomic XPort PE, I get this funny symbol.... •
Needless to say, it is through the entire XML code and since I am new
to this process and don't know what this means, I don't know how to
get rid of it. Has anyone else come across this symbol before? I
tried doing a google search on it but it brought up nothing....can
anyone explain why I am getting it and what it means? I would
appreciate it.
Example of code:
<_06_BS_Headi ng apagenum = "1" pagenum = "1">VHFÂÂ*Radi o</
_06_BS_Heading>
<_06_BS_Small_H ead apagenum = "1" pagenum = "1">Compact Submersible
VHF • Ray48</_06_BS_Small_He ad>
<_06_BS_text apagenum = "1" pagenum = "1">• Fully submersible,
delivers reliable VHF performance in the harshest conditions</
_06_BS_text>
<_06_BS_text apagenum = "1" pagenum = "1">• White housing</
_06_BS_text>
<_06_BS_text apagenum = "1" pagenum = "1">• Easy-to-Read Backlit
LCD</_06_BS_text>
<_06_BS_text apagenum = "1" pagenum = "1">• Quick access 16 PLUS
key</_06_BS_text>
<_06_BS_text apagenum = "1" pagenum = "1">• Programmable scan •
Tri-watch</_06_BS_text>
<_06_BS_text apagenum = "1" pagenum = "1">• NOAA weather alert</
_06_BS_text>
Any direction would be appreciated.... 2 2324

Data issue, not XML issue.
Remember, XML supports unicode, which means it can contain characters
outside the ASCII range. In most cases, the files will be UTF8, which
means high characters are encoded as a two- or three-byte sequence. If
you look at the numeric values of the bytes, and at the formal
definition of UTF8, you should be able to figure out what character
these actually represent. This is left as an Exercise for the Reader.
As to why it's there in the first place... well, you'll have to ask
whoever wrote the tool that's generating the XML, and/or whoever wrote
the data that tool is working on.

Note the extra leading character, an accented a
That's the usual giveaway that you're looking at UTF-8 data with a tool
that's expecting ISO-8859-* data. If you saw _single_ garbled
characters, it would probably be the other way round. If every character
looked OK but was prefixed by a square or diamond, then you'd be looking
at UTF-16 (probably from Windows).
Time to learn about the wonderful world of character encodings. Try
reading Jukka Korpela's website.
PS - just do everything in UTF-8 these days, not ISO-8859-* This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

Hello,
I'm new to Python and playing around. I'm confused by the following
behaviour:
>>> l1 = # define list
>>> l2 = l1 # copy of l1 ?
>>> l2,l1
(, )
>>> l2.extend(l1) # only l2 should be altered !?

I get compile error when compiling using the command javac from the command
terminal window(CMD).
I have just two classes which are called HelloWorld.java and Slask.java.
I have both classes in the directory called temp and I do cd temp to this
directory.
Then I do javac HelloWorld.java
Now I get the compile error
HelloWorld.java:8 cannot resolve symbol

Hello!
Recently I had a strange problem with Visual C# 2005 beta 1.
When I ran(F5 key) a program, <#if DEBUG> statement was not working.
It ran as RELEASE mode.
So I had to manually define DEBUG to make #if DEBUG work.
When I first started the project, this problem didn't exist.
The problem started to exist in the middle of doing the project.
Today, I decided to figure out what went wrong.

I've been playing with dictionary subtypes for custom environments,

Python uses dictionary objects as symbol tables in it's execution
contexts. Since these objects used to be basic types, which were not
subclassable, some of the interpreter code accessed them using...

Hello,
I've developed a .NET C# web service; which has one method named, let's say,
upload_your_data. This method has one parameter ( string your_data). The
value that this parameter will actually have is the content of a XML
document. This data will be processed and check for a well-formed xml
document and will be validated against a XSD. Before putting my code, let me
go on and explain the whole situation.
This web method is invoked...

Good day, fellows!
I have a strange problem – at my site there is a flash strip, that
loads data dynamically.
It works fine (grabs data from the remote server and presents it),
however in IE7 and its clones I encounter a strange problem where I
can hear clicking sound non-stop (like the page is being reloaded non-
stop), whereas the page is not reloading.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
