I’m printing a parameter returned from a query that’s a string of letters and underscores.
The label prints just the letters without the underscores, and I’m not sure how to fix it.
^FD<String>^FS
^FH^FD<String>^FS
Thank you very much.
(Removing the FH Only reads to the first underscore.
The ^FH command without parameter defaults to underscore as the hexidecimal escape character. Either remove the ^FH or specify a different escape character like backslash using ^FH\^FD<String>^FS.
I have an html file that I need to replace some characters with html entities. Right now I'm trying to replace — with — but when I use the Replace All button, the result is that all of those instances of — are replaced with —mdash;
I thought maybe escaping the "&" will work, so I changed the Replace with value to \— but that just results in \—mdash;
The strange thing is that if I go to each, one by one, i.e., click Next, then click Replace, and so on, then it replaces it correctly.
Is this a bug in MacVim? Or am I missing something?
Enter into command line:
:%s/—/\—/g
Also it's possible to get character code. Place your cursor on the character and press ga. Use decimal, hex or octal code into replacement string:
\%d match specified decimal character
\%x match specified hex character
\%o match specified octal character
\%u match specified multibyte character
\%U match specified large multibyte character
:%s/\%d8212/\$mdash;/g
I need a a regular expression to allow only one character for a textbox. Actually i want to validate a text filed to enter a single charecter for Initial (for name)
In a regular expression, '.' (dot) matches a single character.
If you want to be sure that this single character is alphabetic, use:
[a-zA-Z]
or in a posix system: [:alpha:]
Now, to know exactly how to implement it, we need to know in which language your code is written.
For a starter, have a look to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression
You can set the textbox property MaxLength to 1 and use a regex to validade if a letter.
I am going to pass string value between pages.
The value contains "&" character.
Since the values are split using "&", so the value is chopped.
How can I escape this special character?
use URL encoding...
for ex: if you want '&' .. use '& amp;' (no spaces)
Recommended way is to use
Uri.EscapeUriString(stringToEscape)
method which does this for you.

I am getting errors from customers who are uploading files with a colon in the file name, i.e. C:/uploads/test : doc.html
I assume that some Unix or Linux system is generating the file but I'm not sure how the users are saving them with the invalid filename. I have coded a piece that should rename the document on upload. My problem is that I can't test it because I can't get a file on Windows that has a colon in the filename.
I found a very similar character to a colon, "꞉" it is a unicode character called a Modifier Letter Colon. This has no space like the fullwidth colon and is pretty much exactly the same as a regular colon but the symbol works. You can either copy and paste it from above or you can use the code point, U+A789
A colon is an invalid character for a Windows file name. You won't be able to allow ':' in the file name, but you can work around it.
You can either do what it sounds like you have already done; create a script that replaces these invalid characters with valid ones on the UNIX side. Or, you can take care of this on the Windows server with File Name Character Translation: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/289627
Other replacements I've found for reserved characters are
” ‹ › ⁎ ∕ ⑊ ＼︖ ꞉ ⏐
For example in python you could do:
fixed_name = orig_name.replace('\\\\','⑊')
forbidden_characters = '"*/:<>?\|'
unicode_characters = '”⁎∕꞉‹›︖＼⏐'
for a, b in zip(forbidden_characters, unicode_characters):
fixed_name = fixed_name.replace(a, b)
It's probable from the filename you provided that the character you have in your filenames is not a literal colon :, which is a reserved character in Windows filenames, but a fullwidth colon ： Instead. It's a Unicode character that looks very much like a colon, visually surrounded by spaces that you can't remove. You can handle it the very same way as any Unicode chacter, the code point is U+FF1A.
You can use the CJK(Chinese/Japan/Korean) one
"："
which is pretty generic.
Currently, you would use WSL, url for instructions: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10.
You could then create a colon in your Linux Distro.
HOW TO NAME A FILE OR FOLDER USING A SYMBOL THAT LOOKS LIKE A COLON
In the example below, the font size is 12, with the exception of the symbol, which is set to Subscript, Bold and a font size of 16. The character code for the colon-like symbol is 02F8.
The reason for the Subscript setting is to position the symbol lower relative to its vertical position. The bold and larger font settings are applied so that the symbol is more discernible on the page, and have no affect when used in a file or folder name.
Example: (C˸) Symbol – Subscript, Calibri, Bold and font size of 16.
