Compare characters

Compare the character in the current cursor position to the character “xx.” If characters are

equal, move the cursor forward one position. Syntax = FExx where xx stands for the

comparison character’s hex value for its ASCII code.

Refer to the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), beginning on page 203 for decimal, hex

and character codes.

Compare string

Compare the string in the input message to the string “s.” If the strings are equal, move the

cursor forward past the end of the string. Syntax = B2nnnnS where nnnn is the string length

(up to 9999), and S consists of the ASCII hex value of each character in the match string. For

example, B2000454657374 will compare the string at the current cursor position with the 4

character string “Test.”

Refer to the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), beginning on page 203 for decimal, hex

and character codes.

Check for a number

Check to make sure there is an ASCII number at the current cursor position. The format is

aborted if the character is not numeric.

EC Example: Only output the data if the barcode begins with a number

If you want only data from barcodes that begin with a number, you can use EC to check for

the number.

Command string: ECF10D

EC is the “Check for a number” command

F1 is the “Send all characters” command

0D is the hex value for a CR

If this barcode is read, the next data format, if there is one, will be used on

the data. If there is no other format, the format fails and the raw data is output as AB1234.

If this barcode is read: the data is output as:

1234AB

<CR>
