Why isn't SQL Text Substitution working in InstallShield - installshield

I'm trying to run some dynamic SQL in an installscript project. In the UI portion of the script I have the following code:
TextSubSetValue("<INSERTSITES>", message, TRUE);
message = "";
MessageBox(message, INFORMATION);
TextSubGetValue("<INSERTSITES>", message, FALSE, TRUE);
MessageBox(message, INFORMATION);
The message boxes are just for debug and output the nothing and then the insert statement as you would expect. In my sql scripts section i have a script that is just:
$$ISITES$$
Then my Text Replacement tab looks like this:
Text Replacement http://mykroft.net/tReplace.png
But for some reason the replacement just ends up with a blank string. Am I missing something? Where/When does the replacement even happen?

Replacements cannot be the only thing in the file or the file isn't run. I added a select statement at the end of the file like this:
$$ISITES$$
SELECT * FROM [Site]
Which makes the file run with the replacement.

Jenkins Pipeline - Active Choice Reactive Parameter

The following script reads all file names from a directory and displays them to the user as parameters (without extension)
import groovy.io.FileType
def list = []
def dir = new File("/var/lib/jenkins/workspace/grookins/folderx")
dir.eachFileRecurse (FileType.FILES) { file ->
list.add(file.getName().split("\\.", 2)[0])
}
return list
It works fine if I paste the code into the Groovy Script area in the UI right here
Now if I paste the script into a Jenkinsfile,
for some reason, the backslashes are turning into a simple backslash in the UI after running the script from scm
and the parameters are gone
Can someone help me to find the reason for this behavior?
By try and error i found out that the regex in the split function is interpreted differently in the UI than in the Jenkinsfile. In the Jenkinsfile 4 backslashes are required to escape the dot in the UI.
This is how the entry in the Jenkinsfile looks like:
list.add(file.getName().split("\\\\.", 2)[0])

SQL Error (1366): Incorrect string value: '\xE3\x82\xA8\xE3\x83\xBC...'

Hi I am trying to upload data to the Heidi SQL table, but it returned "SQL Error (1366): Incorrect string value: '\xE3\x82\xA8\xE3\x83\xBC...'".
This issue is prompted by this string - "エーペックスレジェンズ" , and the source data file has a number of special characters. Want to know if there's a way to override this, so that all forms of character could be uploaded?
My default setting is utf8 and I have also tried utf8mb4, but neither of them would work.
That happens when you select the wrong file encoding in HeidiSQL's open-file dialog:
Never select "Auto-detect" - I wrote that auto-detection, and I can tell you it often detects the wrong encoding. Use the right encoding instead, which is mostly utf-8 nowadays.

IBM Domino xpage - parse iCalendar summary with new lines manually/ical4j

So far I was parsing the NotesCalendarEntry ics manually and overwriting certain properties, and it worked fine. Today i stumbled upon a problem, where a long summary name of the appointment gets split into multiple lines, and my parsing goes wrong, it replaces the part up to the first line break and the old part is still there.
Here's how I do this "parsing":
NotesCalendarEntry calEntry = cal.getEntryByUNID(apptuid);
String iCalE = calEntry.read();
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(iCalE);
int StartIndex = iCalE.indexOf("BEGIN:VEVENT"); // care only about vevent
tmpIndex = sb.indexOf("SUMMARY:") + 8;
LineBreakIndex = sb.indexOf(Character.toString('\n'), tmpIndex);
if(sb.charAt(LineBreakIndex-1) == '\r') // take \r\n into account if exists
LineBreakIndex--;
sb.delete(tmpIndex, LineBreakIndex); // delete old content
sb.insert(tmpIndex, subject); // put my new content
It works when line breaks are where they are supposed to be, but somehow with long summary name, line breaks are put into the summary (not literal \r\n characters, but real line breaks).
I split the iCalE string by \r\n and got this (only a part obviously):
SEQUENCE:6
ATTENDEE;ROLE=CHAIR;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;CN="test/Test";RSVP=FALSE:
mailto:test#test.test
ATTENDEE;CUTYPE=ROOM;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED
;CN="Room 2/Test";RSVP=TRUE:mailto:room2#test.test
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Test description\n
SUMMARY:Very long name asdjkasjdklsjlasdjlasjljraoisjroiasjroiasjoriasoiruasoiruoai Mee
ting long name
LOCATION:Room 2/Test
ORGANIZER;CN="test/Test":mailto:test#test.test
Each line is one array element from iCalE.split("\\r\\n");. As you can see, the Summary field got split into 2 lines, and a space was added after the line break.
Now I have no idea how to parse this correctly, I thought about finding the index of next : instead of a new line break, and then finding the first line break before that : character, but that wouldn't work if the summary also contained a : after the injected line-break, and also wouldn't work on fields like that ORGANIZER;CN= as it doesn't use : but ;
I tried importing external ical4j jar into my xpage to overcome this problem, and while everything is recognized in Domino Designer it resulted in lots of NoClassDefFound exceptions after trying to reach my xpage service, despite the jars being in the build path and all.
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: net.fortuna.ical4j.data.CalendarBuilder
How can I safely parse this manually, or how can I properly import ical4j jar to my xpage? I just want to modify 3 fields, the DTSTART, DTEND and SUMMARY, with the dates I had no problems so far. Fields like Description are using literal \n string to mark new lines, it should be the same in other fields...
Update
So I have read more about iCalendar, and it seems that there is a standard for this called line folds, these are crlf line endings followed by a space. I made a while loop checking until the last line-break not followed by a space, and it works great so far. Will use this unless there's a better solution (ical4j is one, but I can't get it working with Domino)

Logstash File plugin custom delimiter

I'm using logstash for quite a time. I tried using a custom delimiter in File plugin. I'm reading a static file. I see file plugin extracts 32KB data and passes it to tokenizer for splitting by delimiter.
data = watched_file.file_read(32768)
changed = true
watched_file.buffer_extract(data).each do |line|
listener.accept(line)
#sincedb[watched_file.inode] += (line.bytesize + #delimiter_byte_size)
end
What happens when the last byte is not new line ( ie: part of a line ). My regex fails on the partial line and skips that. I lose an event in this case. I have seen this on a custom delimiter which can happen on \n delimiter as well.
Please enlighten me.
Maybe this link will help. Basically, there's a known issue with that modifier.

Issue with filepath name, possible corrupt characters

Perl and html, CGI on Linux.
Issue with file path name, being passed in a form field, to a CGI on server.
The issue is with the Linux file path, not the PC side.
I am using 2 programs,
1) program written years ago, dynamic html generated in a perl program, and presented to the user as a form. I modified by inserting the needed code to allow a the user to select a file from their PC, to be placed on the Linux machine.
Because this program already knew the filepath, needed on the linux side, I pass this filepath in a hidden form field, to program 2.
2) CGI program on Linux side, to run when form on (1) is posted.
Strange issue.
The filepath that I pass, has a very strange issue.
I can extract it using
my $filepath = $query->param("serverfpath");
The above does populate $filepath with what looks like exactly the correct path.
But it fails, and not in a way that takes me to the file open error block, but such that the call to the CGI script gives an error.
However, if I populate $filepath with EXACTLY the same string, via hard coding it, it works, and my file successfully uploads.
For example:
$fpath1 = $query->param("serverfpath");
$fpath2 = "/opt/webhost/ims/DOCURVC/data"
A comparison of $fpath1 and $fpath2 reveals that they are exactly equal.
A length check of $fpath1 and $fpath2 reveals that they are exactly the same length.
I have tried many methods of cleaning the data in $fpath1.
I chomp it.
I remove any non standard characters.
$fpath1 =~ s/[^A-Za-z0-9\-\.\/]//g;
and this:
my $safe_filepath_characters = "a-zA-Z0-9_.-/";
$fpath1 =~ s/[^$safe_filepath_characters]//g;
But no matter what I do, using $fpath1 causes an error, using $fpath2 works.
What could be wrong with the data in the $fpath1, that would cause it to successfully compare to $fpath2, yet not be equal, visually look exactly equal, show as having the exact same length, but not work the same?
For the below file open block.
$upload_dir = $fpath1
causes complete failure of CGI to load, as if it can not find the CGI (which I know is sometimes caused by syntax error in the CGI script).
$uplaod_dir = $fpath2
I get a successful file upload
$uplaod_dir = ""
The call to the cgi does not fail, it executes the else block of the below if, as expected.
here is the file open block:
if (open ( UPLOADFILE, ">$upload_dir/$filename" ))
{
binmode UPLOADFILE;
while ( <$upload_filehandle> )
{
print UPLOADFILE;
}
close UPLOADFILE;
$msgstr="Done with Upload: upload_dir=$upload_dir filename=$filename";
}
else
{
$msgstr="ERROR opening for upload: upload_dir=$upload_dir filename=$filename";
}
What other tests should I be performing on $fpath1, to find out why it does not work the same as its hard-coded equivalent $fpath2
I did try character replacement, a single character at a time, from $fpath2 to $fpath1.
Even doing this with a single character, caused $fpath1 to have the same error as $fpath2, although the character looked exactly the same.
Is your CGI perhaps running perl with the -T (taint mode) switch (e.g., #!/usr/bin/perl -T)? If so, any value coming from untrusted sources (such as user input, URIs, and form fields) is not allowed to be used in system operations, such as open, until it has been untainted by using a regex capture. Note that using s/// to modify it in-place will not untaint the value.
$fpath1 =~ /^([A-Za-z0-9\-\.\/]*)$/;
$fpath1 = $1;
die "Illegal character in fpath1" unless defined $fpath1;
should work if taint mode is your issue.
But it fails, and not in a way that takes me to the file open error block, but such that the call to the CGI script gives an error.
Premature end of script headers? Try running the CGI from the command line:
perl your_upload_script.cgi serverfpath=/opt/webhost/ims/DOCURVC/data
