Good afternoon,

I have a project where i need to split a string and send it in ascii code to an Domino Printer.

Concept: i get an String from an Zebra scanner looking like this : " R002043;5410761402862;Oil Plus 2C Comp.A - Gris Belge;1286193824;"

To start is the ";" the seperator. i found some functions to delete the ";" in a string. this is okay but now i want to convert each digit in the string into ascii like this:

R=82
0=48
0=48
2=50
0=48
...

This because the printer wants to receive a string like this:

<esc>OQ001TE 82 48 48 50 48 ...<eot></eot></esc>

Anyone who can help me with setting me on the right track with some advice?

Nice puzzle for a Saturday afternoon :-). Here my suggestion:

VAR
    sInput : STRING := 'R123';
    byChar : BYTE;
    sOutput : STRING;
    i: INT;
END_VAR

sOutput := '';
IF LEN(sInput) = 0 THEN
    RETURN;
END_IF
FOR i := 0 TO LEN(sInput) - 1 DO
    byChar := sInput[i];
    sOutput := Concat(sOutput, TO_STRING(byChar));
END_FOR

So the printer wants an ASCII conversion of the hex equivalent of ASCII characters??
They don't make it easy for us

@TimvH, Thank you, i think this way i can seperate the complete string to characters.

Next part of the topic is converting the characters to an ASCII code. Is there an standerd function in Codesys for this?

I alredy searched a few hours for it on the internet. no succes.

A standard string is actually a list of bytes that represent the ASCII code for each character.
The following part of code will give you the ASCII code of one of the characters in the string:

byChar := sInput[i];
