PROGRAMMING VIA SCANNER INPUT
Data Editing, continued
Match
- Bar codes with specific character strings can be selected.
The programming bar codes must be entered in the following
sequence:
MATCH, P1, ”S1”, P2, ”S2”, ...PX, ”SX”
, - where
“MATCH” announces that the next bar code inputs will define
where in the data a specific string will be located, and what
characters the string consists of, surrounded by quotation marks.
For example, if the bar code to be selected requires the string
“efgh” beginning at the 3rd position, the bar code scanning
sequence should be
“MATCH,3,”efgh”,”
. If we’re looking for
“efgh” any where within the bar code, the sequence should be
“MATCH,*,”efgh”,”
, with the “*” character signifying that it could
be anywhere in the string.
Note:
Once a Qualifier is specified, other bar codes that do not
meet the requirements of the Qualifier will be disregarded. If you
would like bar codes not specified by the Qualifier to output
normally, simply add another qualifier that specifies all bar codes
(19), starting at position1, and outputting all remaining (#). (See
example at the bottom of this page.)
Modifiers:
Original Data
- Part or all of the original data string can be
selected. The programming bar codes must be entered in the
following sequence:
O-STR,P,N,
- where “
O-STR
” announces
that the next bar code inputs refer to where the output should
begin and how many characters should be output. For
example, if 7 characters are to be output beginning with the4th
character, the bar code scanning sequence should be “
O-STR,
4,7,”. If we want all the characters after the 4th character to be
output, the sequence should be “
O-STR,4,#,
”, with the “
#
”
character signifying that the entire string (after the 4th
character) should be output. Should you decide that the last
two characters should not be output, the sequence would
be“
O-STR,4,#-2,
”, with the “
#
-2” specifying all remaining
minus 2.
Special Characters
, Comma - Used as a separator between formula parameters,
beginning with the IN_ID parameter and ending with the
Enter parameter.
“ Quotation Mark - Used to begin and end a character string.
A character string bounded by quotation marks is treated as
a single unit, and would be written as “abcd”.
