problem viewing full text |
Hello. When I go to
archive.org/details/UnitedStatesPatent282
and click on full text link, only the first line of text comes up, but if I go into the all files http link and click on the text file there, it will show fine. Can someone tell me what's wrong with the text files I am uploading? Thanks very much.

Re: problem viewing full text |
I am trying to be sure the full text link brings up the text, and I can't understand why the text file comes up fine in the HTTP directory but not from the full text link. If you can see it fine please let me know, it might be just my computer. Thanks.

Re: problem viewing full text |
I think Andrew means if you go to
http://archive.org/details/UnitedStatesPatent282Then click on "Full Text" (in the left side "View the Book" window), nothing shows on the screen. But if you go to "All Files: HTTP", it's possible to view it that way. It does appear to be a bug of some sort.

Re: problem viewing full text |
Andrew,
Something wrong with the file derivation, if you upload a file it should derive more formats than you have displayed. Try uploading it again or go to edit metadata->items and then re-derive the document.
Also what type of PDF file are you using, you should create it in Irfanview and then save it as a PDF, sometimes Adobe Acrobat or Microsoft corrupts the PDF file and it does not derive properly.

Re: problem viewing full text |
Precisely. I finally got the text to where it doesn't run off the screen like most of my items, but now the text doesn't show at all from the full text link. Hope the administrators can fix it, glad it's nothing on my computer. All my new additions to
archive.org/details/uspatentssingledocuments
are coming up with the glitch too. Thanks guys.

Re: problem viewing full text |
Andrew, if all the uploads have the same problem it may be something in the text itself. Perhaps embedded codes, or unix vs dos line breaks, something like that. The streaming mode (Full Text) could be trying to display it as a single long line without line breaks, but exceeding a buffer so doesn't display. Do you have access to a unix box you could try running it through unix2dos (or dos2unix) to convert line breaks? These are just guesses, an admin will have to take a look probably.

Re: problem viewing full text |
As far as I know, there aren't any imbedded codes; however, I edit these documents on a nonstandard PDA and that's why the files come out in such long lines.

Re: problem viewing full text |
Ok sorry site appears broken. How about converting to another format using this site:
http://document.online-convert.com/Try any number of formats, such as text, html, pdf, doc -- then upload and see how Internet Archive displays.

Re: problem viewing full text |
andrewbontrager,
My Unix computer shows that your file 282.txt is (using the `file' command):
Non-ISO extended-ASCII English text, with CR line terminators
This is highly non-standard. Something is wrong with your file. A
www search for the string “Non-ISO extended-ASCII English text” brings: “I realized that the majority of the file is in ISO-8859-1 and some parts in utf-8.…”
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5901633/perl-file-encoding-and-word-comparison
I will soon check your file and offer suggestions.

Re: problem viewing full text |
You have an invalid UTF-8 character in your file. Line 59 starts with:
What I claim as my improvement is
After that there is a 0x97 (octal \227) followed by two 0x0d (the Mac line termination). This sequence is invalid UTF-8.
The proper way to correct this error is to
replace the \227 with the proper character in UTF-8 encoding. The no-brainer way is to put a hyphen there, making the file ASCII. Or you may put an en-dash or an em-dash or a quotation-dash. In all the above cases, the file would be valid UTF-8; plain ASCII is, obviously, valid UTF-8.
Try to find out how you got such an exotic character, so that it does not happen with random files!
---
Output of `isutf8':
282.txt: line 1, char 1, byte offset 2913: invalid UTF-8 code
Valid UTF-8 codes:
– en-dash (U+2013)
— em-dash (U+2014)
― quotation-dash (U+2015)
(You can copy these from this page.) To know which one to use, consult your style guide! Check this, though:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dash
---
Note that the culprit character may not be visible in normal text editors even though it is there. (Some editors will even refuse to open the file.) Emacs, vim and hex editors show the character.

Re: problem viewing full text |
I found out how you got the character.
Either (i) your text editor is set to save files in ANSI aka Windows-1252 aka cp1252. In this encoding 0x97 is the value for an em-dash. (See the link.)
Or, (ii) you copied your em-dash from a file in the Windows-1252 encoding and pasted in you text file.
(The effect of both the steps is the same -- your file is effectively in Win-1252 encoding.)
The solution to your problem is simple: convert the file from Win-1252 encoding to UTF-8 encoding. There are tools to do it automatically in Unix (the best is `iconv'). Or do it online (see the link below). Or, if you provide a collection of all the text files to me, I will convert it for you -- it is trivial on my machine.
So that the problem does not happen in future, set your text editor to use UTF-8 encoding. Win-1252 is deprecated. (See link.) Or, if the (ii) above is true, stop using your ‘master’-em-dash (which you copy to the files you edit.)
