￭ Search backward for a string
B1 Search backward for “s” string from the current cursor position, leaving
cursor pointing to “s” string. Syntax = B1nnnnS 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, B1000454657374 will search
backward for the first occurrence of the 4 character string “Test.” Refer to
the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252)
, for decimal, hex and
character codes.
￭ Search forward for a non-matching character
E6 Search the input message forward for the first non-“xx” character from the
current cursor position, leaving the cursor pointing to the non-“xx”
character. Syntax = E6xx where xx stands for the search character’s hex
value for its ASCII code. Refer to the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code
Page 1252), for decimal, hex and character codes.
E6 Example: Remove zeroes at the beginning of bar code data
This example shows a bar code that has been zero filled. You may want to
ignore the zeroes and send all the data that follows. E6 searches forward for
the first character that is not zero, then sends all the data after, followed by a
carriage return. Using the bar code above:
Command string: E630F10D
E6 is the “Search forward for a non-matching character” command
30 is the hex value for 0
F1 is the “Send all characters” command
0D is the hex value for a CR
The data is output as:
37692
<CR>
