[ATL] Replace strange symbols [message #660731]

Hi, I have a string property to which I want to replace some strange symbols like (ñ, ç) or accents but I have used replaceAll() method and it doesn't work fine.

that is my code:

element.name <- element.name.replaceAll('ñ', 'ny');
element.name <- element.name.replaceAll('ç', 'c');
element.name <- element.name.replaceAll('ó', 'o');

I transform elements with this symbols ('año', 'dirección'...) but the result is the same.

I have try to compare, for each character if it is a strange symbol but comparison returns false. That is:

for (c in element.name.toSequence()) {
if (c = 'ñ') {
... this code is never reached
}
}

Any idea ?¿?

Are you sure that the transformation still compiles with those characters ?
Try to delete the .asm file and see if it comes back after a build.

Yes, I have removed the .asm and it has been re-build without errors and the transformation is executed with the same results.

Hi Miguel,
it could be an encoding problem. If what you expect to be a 'ñ' internally is represented by something like '#$%&' your replace/comparison wont work.

You could look in the debugger BEFORE you compare c = 'ñ' what values c takes. Maybe you have to check the encoding setting for your import. Do you use XMI? The first line of the XML should specify an encoding.

Regards,
Sebastian
