Hi Constantine,
"ssphys" info -eiso-8859-7 "VssAbc/data/names.dat"
As Toby wrote, please try to run the above command standalone and
redirect to a file.
The encoding patch is not 100% correct, and I still have no ideas, how
to make it 100% correct. We have to deal with two problems:
1.) different encodings: This one should be solved with the encoding
attribute, but while playing with this, I had still problems to output
characters that are allowed in one codepage, but discouraged by the XML
standard. See
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#charsets where some characters, that are
still allowed in the the windows-1252 codepage, are discouraged in XML.
esp. most of the characters in the band [x80-x9f].
2.) real garbaged content: real garbage is hard to detect and therefore
ssphys does only filter so called control characters determined by the
"iscntrl" function. This decision is based upon the current locale. A
few other characters are filtered by vss2svn after streaming in the XML
output
> $gSysOut =~ s/\x00//g; # remove null bytes
> $gSysOut =~ s/.\x08//g; # yes, I've seen VSS store backspaces in
names!
> # allow all characters in the windows-1252 codepage: see
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows-1252
> $gSysOut =~
s/[\x00-\x09\x11\x12\x14-\x1F\x81\x8D\x8F\x90\x9D]/_/g; # just to be sure
Please have a look at your generated xml file from the names.dat and
check which character is the problematic one.
Second: your output shows, that you have a missing ParserDetails.Ini
file. Please check a previous mail thread "Idiots' guide to setting up a
perl environment for vss2svn?". There is a sample ParserDetails file:
3. Then create or edit /Perl/site/lib/XML/SAX/ParserDetails.ini so that it
includes:
[XML::SAX::Expat]
http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces = 1
http://xml.org/sax/features/validation = 1
http://xml.org/sax/features/external-general-entities = 1
http://xml.org/sax/features/external-parameter-entities = 1
Best regards
Dirk
