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),

beginning on page 280 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),

beginning on page 280 for decimal, hex

and character codes.

E6 Example: Remove zeros at the beginning of barcode data

This example shows a barcode that has been zero filled. You may want to ignore the
zeros 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 barcode 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>
