chinese filenames and renaming

how do you rename files named in a picture based font?
some can be changed, but most file names are not ‘valid’ in some way.

so any tips?

stephen

What OS? Linux? Maybe a mix of “?” and tab-completion?
On Mac, it should not be an issue, everything is UTF-8 enabled. Windows too, I’d assume.

braincell failure, sorry linux debian 8 upto date as of 4hrs ago
i normally use konsole

one of the problems is extracting the files and dir struct from rar archives
apropos yields some library functions for font conversion.

stephen

I thought perhaps you wanted to automatically rename into english or perhaps some other language.

I suspect it would be possible but you would need to write your own renaming program

that sadly is what i’m beginning to conclude.
the nasty is renaming items and structure within an archive.
i’d be happy replacing chars with 0’s with a count on the end as a name, extension doesn’t seem to be encoded.
all i want is the circuit schematic.

the web site i got the files from is mentioned in another post, if you open the sub-directory by clicking on it, you can then
tick boxes to select multiple items. clicking on download generates a zip file containing those items.

any ideas for a Perl one liner?
off to have a look on cpan

If all you are looking for is one file, cant you just grep inside each file looking for the signature of a schematic file?

This can be done using find piped to grep

Normally binary format files contain some chars at the beginning that are common to their file format.

If you have an example of a schematic, you could open it in a hex editor and see if there is a signature to search for.

Then you can manually rename the single file you search finds

the file names are not recognized as file names, they are composed of picture chars.

i can’t rename them inside the rar as they’re not valid, same problem with extraction(xarchive), same using midnight commander.
on some i can rename/extract the file/directory, extract and they all list as 0 bytes.

i suspect it needs some kind person to repackage the archive renaming all files or at least directories to frednnnn:-)

once you get down to the project level directories, the structure below e.g. APP, src, inc, usr directories are ok.
i’ll have another go at extracting the lower levels later on.

stephen

What is are U running

if that was ‘what are you using?’

Debian 8, upto date 3hrs, using file manager invokes xarchive which invokes i know not what;
and midnight commander invokes unrar, unzip etc as reqd.
srp

Can you post it somewhere and I’ll try to extract it on WIndows

I have extracted other chinese zips which have unicode file name chars and its always been OK

roger,
for the sub-dir link is massive, so easier is this link,

https://pan.baidu.com/s/1c0i0rJU

double click on the name to enter directory, if you then tick some of the check boxes and click download, it will send a rar or zip of the
selected items.

are you about to do this on a M$ operating system?
in which case, i suppose i should officially object to the fruit of the poisonous tree

it’s really annoying when i misplace my a4 notebook with its pinouts and connections info, it’ll be flat somewhere and under something; almost as much as knowing i was going to comment and forgetting about what…. is magic button for new and unread posts; much better!

I cant see a direct link, it keeps asking me to download a dodgy exe

Stephen, I downloaded the Windows archive from your link and replaced the directory names into D1…D4. Here is the file list I got:

Hover over the item, then you see an upload icon, after that you need to click on a second upload icon above it.
But… I’ve been trying to download that – it keeps resetting and restarting from scratch after a while for me.

I also get problems with the download of pack.zip stopping after about 600MB…

Edit: After many failed attempts to download the file (never more than 650MB of the 1.8GB total), I finally suspect that the problem is mainly a problem of a corrupt/incomplete ZIP file and less related to the chinese character file names… so I gave up

@enif
i think you got the wrong one, right idea:-)

i’m hopeful that what i’m after is in one the smaller files, could you try with those individually please? <15Mb? ones
less chance of failure.

i made the same mistake with the parent directory, 1.8GB zip; similarily failures mid download.
also for me the link seemed to behave differently on successive visits, maybe there’s some visit and/or download count limiting
going on.

if i hover on an item, iceweasel shows javascript(0) bottom left
on most visits i get a persistent each visit claim 2gb cloud space pop-up

many thanks to all for trying
btw are we having fun yet?

I tried again, but no matter what icon i clicked on, it served me up a dodgy exe.

Put the zip file on some public cloud sharing e.g. dropbox and perhaps we can help.

Hmm… I downloaded the zip, which is heavily broken, I then ran some Linux foo on the zip to fix it. I’ll upload the resulting file to a googledrive folder and share it once I have something. I’m not sure what all is in the zip, looks like some pretty random stuff including Chinese language copies of some of the STM documentation, but there are also some .rar files with info about the OLED display and the usual copy of the ST32F10X standard libs which seems to crop up everywhere. Proceed with caution once I’ve finish uploading, I haven’t checked any of the files for viruses or malware.

@ahull
what linux foo magic please? for future reference.

i looked again at one i pulled, sub dir contained 2 rars with size, attempted copy to ~, resultant files both 0 size

found my notebooks, under some large plastic containers, they were cheap, got 2 sets of 2.
intending for ferric chloride usage at some point.

Fixed Zip file is here… 597 MB (625,504,584 bytes)
md5sum 683179ae377d2cb2e385278914059c37

Linux foo to fix damaged zip files is…
zip -FF Corrupted.zip --out New.zip


Thanks – a really fast & easy download now, but I’m not having much luck with it on Mac OSX.
The zip -FF command worked, but unzip after that generates four errors, first one is this:

error: cannot create -?+??–?/????-??? STM32F103RCT6 RBT6+???? 51 AVR ARM STM32+????/4??STM32_OLED_NRF(???ۦ??˦?-Ȧ?).rar

I’ll leave it to others with more zip-fu to figure this out and extract the nice bits…

PS. download and fixed files sizes I see here are as follows:
-rw-r--r--@ 1 jcw staff 625504584 Nov 15 12:22 4.zip
-rw------- 1 jcw staff 625505305 Nov 15 12:22 New.zip

Ah, ok – looks like “unzip -j” did the trick for me (don’t create dirs, do a “flat” extraction).

Update – I can see what looks like various examples, but no schematics of the board AFAICT.

@jcw Try this version.

Got it – thx. I think it’s more or less the same?

Look for these two files, they appear to be the schematic of the OLED board and the STM board.

OLED_STM32原理图.pdf
and
STM32F103RC开发板原理图.PDF

Bingo!!! Ok, I’m attaching the schematics here, as this was the purpose of the whole exercise, I think.

One more, looks like the main one.

To put this into context – this is the board I was looking for, not sure the schematic actually matches it, though:

funny you saying that:-) http://www.stm32duino.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=725

many thanks – linux bits have been noted and the pdf’s saved.

one more Q – how did/do you save it to your Google drive? I’ve made more use other peoples drives than my own.

i think i’ve a couple more of this board on order, i suppose the next thing should/would be best price found?
bit late for me though

Another board with the F103RC is this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/251740557791
Less features, but also looks nice for that category µC and a 5x7cm proto board fits really well on it:

I have one of those boards.

However the manufacturing quality on mine was very poor. And I had to resolder a load of things, including removing buttons, so it looks a bit of a mess now ;-(

Good to know… I haven’t tried anything with it yet.

BTW (and veering completely off-topic by now), I find all these boards with a pair of 2xN headers nearly impossible to remove.

I just made a similar board for the Nucleo series, with their 2×19 pins “Morpho” connectors on both sides.
Can’t imagine prototyping any serious circuit on top and pulling it off again without damaging something…
Must be even worse for the Discovery boards, with their pair of 2×25 headers.

Is everyone just using masses of jumper wires? How do you set up a project which may have to be moved around a bit?

The headers are not that hard to remove, you just need to heat each pin one at a time and then pull the pins out from the other side

Note. Dont hold the pin with pliers while heating, as it takes longer to heat up. Just rest the pliers next to the pin, then when its hot, close the pliers and pull the pin out

When you’ve got all the pins out, the plastic can be removed easily and you can use solder wick to clean / open the wholes again

I’ve done this on loads of boards

Oops, sorry – wrong wording on my end. I didn’t mean unsolder – I meant pulling the headers apart…

(Be gentle, non-native speaker on this end of the line 🙂

@ahull
ok, so i said a couple.

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Small-sy … 59394.html

£28.45/5 =>£5.69 inc postage £1.44

@jcw
that ebay store explicitly states C&E(uk) is your problem
is it 15% or 20% on top – bit of a gamble – depends on declaration and their mood i suspect

even it not actually buying, its worth browsing to the bottom as they may have a link to resources.

my dad was a magpie on books and old hand tools, i seem to have updated the theme, was avr, now stm …

Ah, that’s an idea (and brings back memories…).

jcw wrote:Ah, that’s an idea (and brings back memories…).

I use wirewrap wire sometimes, as its thin and you can melt the insulation easily to solder the wire.

But the price of a small reel from my local supplier is around $15, which is vastly overpriced compared with normal stranded wire.

I guess I should search for it in eBay or Aliexpress etc and perhaps also get the tool(s)

jcw wrote:Ah, that’s an idea (and brings back memories…).

sometime in 1976-80 working in power supply test; one of the jobs was applying power to a backplane of pcb sockets that had been wired using point 2 point machines by forcing a clip onto a pin, friction stripping the wire and clamping the wire to the pin.
now some pins had a few connections stacked up and that created assorted shorts usually across the power lines, first resort was a 5v @100a psu; quite useful in clearing said shorts

some of the vdu’s had a wire wrapped backplane, that had the same problems, similar solution.

please find attached the result of the far eastern character saga,
23-11-15-00:41 added the SPI, NRF24L01 and OLED sources
