issue with iwextattr

Kannan1

Hi,
Currently we are using
iwextattr -l "y:\default\main\Content\WORKAREA\All\Binaries\Test\Test.doc" command to list ea values, but it is not working when file path with some German characters.
Eg : iwextattr -l "y:\default\main\Content\WORKAREA\All\Binaries\Eidgenöβischen\Test.doc", is not working. It shows an error like
ERROR:02006: Error locating : y:\default\main\Content\WORKAREA\All\Binaries\Eidgenöβischen\Test.doc

Thanks in advance

Although it is unlikely to fix the problem - you should try running the command without the Y: - since the argument for iwextattr is supposed to be a vpath not a file system path.

What is the locale associated with the OS of your server? It's possible that using German characters on an English OS won't work, but using German characters on a German OS might work.

yes you are dealing with special characters here. I am assuming that you will see all the special characters in CCPro UI as it should be seen, but when you come to command prompt, it will not interpret the special characters properly. One workaround is to create a script which reads the path from the CCPro UI and writes it to a file which keeps your special characters intact and then you can do iwextattr -l in this script to return you list of your extended attribs.

Thanks Ghoti for replay.

Three ideas:

Thanks Ghoti for replay.

We can’t have the access to TeamSite server machine there for we can’t change OS language.
I tried with Perl script to extract the file name and executed the CLT. But it again shows the same error. Is there any other way to access EA values for a file?
Thanks in advance

Write the code in Java so that you avoid the possible interference of the shell.

/home/iwov/Interwoven/TeamSite/bin/iwextattr.exe -s "your details" vpath ...

and in u r
Eg : iwextattr -l "y:\default\main\Content\WORKAREA\All\Binaries\Eidgenöβischen\Test.doc"

system reads it as a value/param instead of vpath. try taking out "" .

not 100% sure, it will help you, but can try.

Thanks

Also try using forward-slashes - especially if this is wrapped in a script.

Thanks HKN1104 for the response.
We have "white space" in file path there for we are using these double quotes..

I tried with that option ,,but it is not working for me.

Give % or %20 instead of white spaces.

Thanks

Adam Stoller

Give % or %20 instead of white spaces.

Thanks
Hari

%20 is the encoding for white-space in URI's not in file system paths and/or vpaths - so I doubt that will help any.

How about we try to separate the two variables involved here:

suggest (my guess will be either use ASCII characters or switch the locale of the OS).If the foreign characters without white-space works (I'll be surprised) - then the issue is with the space (perhaps in combination) - and the short answer there is "train and do not allow users to create directories or files with white-space in them"
