Subject: [staf-users] STAXResult shows incorrect values for unicode
output from process element
I have a stax job as shown below.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE stax SYSTEM "stax.dtd">
<stax>
<defaultcall function="main"/>
<function name="main">
<function-map-args>
<function-optional-arg name="node" default="'local'">
Target node
</function-optional-arg>
</function-map-args>
<sequence>
<message log="1">'Get WMIC version'</message>
<process name="'Version'">
<location>node</location>
<command>
'wmic datafile c:\\\\windows\\\\system32\\\\cmd.exe get version'
</command>
<stdout mode="'replace'" >'C:/console.txt'</stdout>
<stderr mode="'stdout'"/>
<returnstdout/>
<focus mode="'minimized'"/>
</process>
<message log="1">STAXResult</message>
<script>
import codecs
build_number =
codecs.utf_16_le_decode(STAXResult[0][1][2:-1],'ignore')[0].split('\r\n')[1].strip()
print(build_number)
</script>
<message log="1">'version: %s'%(build_number)</message>
</sequence>
</function>
</stax>
The issue is that STAXResult shows incorrect values for the first 2 bytes
(FFEE - BOM for UTF16LE). See below for the output from STAXMon
20130801-21:41:03
[[0, u'\xa0\u25a0V\x00e\x00r\x00s\x00i\x00o\x00n\x00 \x00 \x00 \x00 \x00
\x00 \x00 \x00 \x00
\x00\r\x00\n\x006\x00.\x002\x00.\x009\x002\x000\x000\x00.\x001\x006\x003\x008\x004\x00
\x00 \x00\r\x00\n\x00']]
What I have to do was remove the first two bytes and then decode it and
ignore any errors. The solution works but it feels like it can be
improved.
My question is. Is there a switch so that process element handles unicode
output from the console?
