Michael,

First part is simple.

Check http://unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0590.pdf

Hebrew Unicode range is 0x0590 -- 0x05FF.

So you may check chars in string to see whether or not they are from Hebrew (just compare Character.getNumericValue(char ch) with range of integers above).

Thanks for your reply,Valery

I didn't understand how exactly I check chars.

Let's say I give the file name by:

wdContext.currentContextElement().getFilePath();

What is my next step?

Michael,

Code that detect existence of Hebrew chars could be like this:

final String path = wdContext.currentContextElement().getFilePath();
boolean hasHebrewChars = false;
for (int i = 0, size = path.length(); i < size; i++) {
  final char ch = path.charAt(i);
  if ( ch >= 0x0590 && ch <= 0x05FF) {
    hasHebrewChars = true;
    break;
  }
}

Thanks,Valery

Now it's absolutely clear.

And now,when I know that I'm working with hebrew file name

I replace it by random number+source file extension.

Can you suggest more elegant solution?

Michael,

Any solutions is good if it works for you

What is your definition of "more elegant"? I can guess only 2 possibilities:

-- replace only Hebrew (or any non-ASCII) characters but not English characters if any.

-- escape characters rather then replace them, so it is possible to recover original name later; however this will increase length of string, so it's easy to hit limits of max. alowed length for string, also this will require escaping of escape character and will affect names of all files.
