Pattern Match String (max. 200 chars)
Click to activate the Text Entry Tool and create a pattern match string. A code
can also be identified by its content. A pattern matching string is programmable for
each code.
It is possible to define the matching string by inserting:
all printable characters
* = defining any string consisting of an undefined number of characters (it
may be empty)
? = identifying any character to be found in the position indicated within the
string
If your application requires inserting ?, * and NUL as characters, it is necessary to
use the following syntax:
? character = <NUL>?
* character = <NUL>*
NUL character = <NUL>00
other extended ASCII characters = <NUL>xy, where xy identifies the
character hex value
Examples:
Match a code starting with 123 string and followed by any string of characters:
Match String = 123*
Example Code = 123aC53
Match a code ending with 123 string preceded by any string of characters:
Match String = *123
Example Code = 41pO123
Match a code having 123 string in any position:
Match String = *123*
Input fields will vary depending on the selected symbology. You can set up to 10 bar
codes.
This options is only available for EAN and UPC options.
