problem special characters

rid_rj — Mon, 26 Mar 2018 13:41:27 GMT

Hello,

i have a problem in display of XML File, problem of special characters.

when i open the file with a editor xml, i got like two points :

and when i open the file with mozilla firefox, i got a special character :

And when i use tlogRow to display data in talend, i got empty space:

I didn't understand this display difference and why in the mozilla firefox, i got this special caractere, it's not good when i display data in web (i want to remove this special caractere in mozilla)

I tried to use tReplace to remove the two point (..) / (¨) but i got nothing, i got the same result.

Thanks

Reda

Hi,

Are you usin tFileInputXML component?

If so, try to define Encoding as UTF-8 on Advanced Setting tab.

It seems the special character is in your input.

Try to display ascii code for each character, this will give you the answer for "which character must be removed to clean the output".

The code ascii is 149, it correspond à "ò", i use treplace but always without success.

You can try to remove all non-ascii char from your string:

row1.fieldName.replaceAll("[^\x0A\x0D\x20-\x7E]", "")

(not tested)

Yes, Thanks TRF, just i used this code:

replaceAll("[^\\x00-\\x7F]", "");
