[Isis-users] string behind apostrophe in field with subfields

[De Smet Egbert]

That is weird, since as far as I know (and I ought to know...) there haven't been any changes re this feature in data-entry since several previous versions where this already was remedied, so certainly also in v2.0b.
Also I tested again, both in creating a new record with the title directly into the title-field and using the subfields-subwindow, and editing an existing record to add an apostrophe, and it shows up quite correctly in all these cases, see the illustration.
So maybe we need to check more details then. I will try to find out in which script exactly the 'proc' is created to add values into fields (unless Guilda can immediately tell us ?) and compare then to your version of that script.

Dear Egbert,


I'm still using the v2.0b.

Hi,

which version of ABCD are you using ? I thought this problem long ago had been solved by replacing the 'add field' method by a newer one (with the XML-tags, e.g. <100>new value for v100</100>, in order to avoid the apostrophe to be seen as the end of the string to be added.
In fact I just tested to add a title with apostrophe without a problem.

Dear Egbert, Ernesto and Guilda,

I posted a ticket several years ago about this problem, but it is not yet resolve, so I recall it again to draw your attention :

The French language uses regularly the sign apostrophe (‘).
In ABCD, when one opens a record with a group-type field (a field with subfields) storing a string containing an apostrophe, the part of string after the apostrophe disappears.

For example :

1.    I enter a title in v210a and update the field. It looks as follows :

2.    Then I click the plus sign to edit the field and I get the following :

Even though I change and resume, I get the same result.


Could you propose a solution to this problem ?
May thanks.
