Match List Rules
Match List Rules
The data in the match list is processed by the rules listed below:
l
Strings in the list will be searched in the order they appear in the list. If the list contains
ABC
and
AB
, in that order,
incoming data with
ABC
will match first, and the
AB
will have no effect.
l
When a match between the first characters of the barcode and a string from the list is found, that string is stripped from
the barcode data.
l
Processing the list terminates when a match is found or when the end of the list is reached.
l
If the wildcard
*
is not specified, the string is assumed to strip from the beginning of the barcode data. The string
ABC*
strips off the prefix
ABC
. The string
*XYZ
will strip off the suffix
XYZ
. The string
ABC*XYZ
will strip both prefix and suf-
fix together. More than one * in a configuration string is not allowed. (The User Interface will not prevent it, but results
would not be as expected, as only the first * is used in parsing to match the string.)
l
The question mark wildcard
?
may be used to match any single character in the incoming data. For example, the data
AB?D will match ABCD, ABcD, or AB0D, but not ABDE.
l
The data collected is saved per symbology configured. The Symbology selected in the Symbologies dialog defines the
symbology for which the data is being configured.
l
Note that the Code ID (if any are configured) is ignored by this dialog, regardless of the setting of
Strip: Code ID
in the
Symbologies dialog. According to the sequence of events (specified above), the Code ID must not be included in the bar-
code data being matched, because when the matching test occurs, the Code ID has already been stripped. If Strip
Code ID is disabled, then the barcode data to match must include the Code ID. If Strip Code ID is enabled, the data
should not include the Code ID since it has already been stripped.
