Error: <<<This string contains a character (ascii value 160) that is not normally used in code>>>

Good morning,

At http://www.menmachinesmaterials.com/SeasideDoc I am trying to scrape http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/ and store the html data in a method of a subclass of DocletSwiki.

I am able to create new subclasses with methods just fine until I try to store the html content in a method.

My latest attempt to just get something to work looks like this:

|ht createdMethodName |

createdMethodName := #htmlcontent.
ht := HelpTopic
title:'Dude'
contents:(HTTPLoader default retrieveContentsFor: ('http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/1' asUrl)).

DocletSwiki compile: createdMethodName, (ht contents content asTextFromHtml).

that ht contents content asTextFromHtml is the latest contortion after many hours of hacking.

It throws the SyntaxError (?) shown in the subject header above.

A simple

DocletSwiki compile: #htmlcontent, '^ 1'

works fine.

DocletSwiki is a simple subclass of WAComponent.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Timothy,

I'd start looking for quotes in the html string. Seems parts of the String are not interpreted as String contents.

Is that possible?

Resolved: Error: <<<This string contains a character (ascii value 160) that is not normally used in code>>>

Well, that was interesting...the secret was the format and {1} construct.

Interesting code:

scrapeWikiPagesToNewClassFrom: aInteger To: zInteger pausingBetweenBy: delayInteger
|methodTemplate methodSource wikipage newclassname|

      methodTemplate := 'page ^', $', '{1}' ,$'.

      aInteger to: zInteger do: [:pageNo |
      newclassname := ('DocletSwiki', pageNo asString) asSymbol.
      wikipage:= (((( 'http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/', pageNo printString) asUrl retrieveContents contents withSeparatorsCompacted)
                              copyReplaceAll:(160 asCharacter asString) with:(Character space asString))
                                    copyReplaceAll:($' asString) with:(($" asString))).

methodSource := methodTemplate format:{wikipage}.
methodSource inspect.

DocletSwiki subclass: newclassname
            instanceVariableNames: ''
            classVariableNames: ''
            poolDictionaries: ''
            category: 'SeasideDoc-Doclet'.

(Smalltalk at:newclassname) compile: methodSource.

(Delay forSeconds: delayInteger) wait.]

It worked!
