Honeywell 2700 Stop replacing characters, Compare characters, Compare string, Check for a number

02 is the total count of characters to be replaced, plus the replacement characters (0 is replaced by CR, so total char- acters = 2)

30 is the hex value for 0

0D is the hex value for a CR (the character that will replace the 0)

F1 is the “Send all characters” command

0D is the hex value for a CR

The data is output as:

1234

5678 ABC <CR>

Stop replacing characters

E5 Terminates character replacement. Syntax = E5.

Compare characters

FE 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 A-3for decimal, hex and character codes.

Compare string

B2 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 A-3for decimal, hex and character codes.

Check for a number

EC 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 bar code begins with a number

If you will only accept data from bar codes 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 bar code is read,	the format fails.
If this bar code is read:	the data is output as:
1234AB
<CR>

Check for non-numeric character

ED Check to make sure there is a non-numeric ASCII character at the current cursor position. The format is aborted if the character is numeric.

ED Example: Only output the data if the bar code begins with a letter

If you will only accept data from bar codes that begin with a letter, you can use ED to check for the number.

Command string: EDF10D

ED is the “Check for a non-numeric character” command
