Hi,

I'm working on a perl script to insert records into a Solr (lucine) install. However, for some of the records I'm getting an error about a "code 27"

Request error : 400 Illegal character CTRLCHAR code 27  at rowcol unknownsource 1778 at /home/user/domain.com/www/admin/Plugins/Solr/Users/Update.pm line 164.

I've done a little searching on google, and it seems like a "code 27" is the "excape" charachter.

Is there a simple way of filtering out these "control" charachters, so this doesn't even happen again?

At the moment, I'm doing it with a regex + tr{}

        $user->{$col} =~ s/\n+/\./sig;;
        $user->{$col} =~ tr{&[]ÀÂÄàâäÇçÉÊÈËéêèëÏÌÎïìîÖÔÒöôòÜÛÙüûùA-Z?!
+;,.«»()" '}{   aaaaaacceeeeeeeeiiiiiioooooouuuuuua-z           __};

...but thats obviously not filtering out those "special charachters" :(

Any suggestions are much appreciated :)

TIA

Andy

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
