variable text on Modero

Thomas Hayes · October 2007

Hi all
I have a NXD-700VI that I what to send a variable text command to. The text is the result of 'what channel' is the user watching. The call I have for removing this info from the device is working fine but I can't seem to get it to display properly.

example of what I have.
- ACTIVE (FIND_STRING (DATA.TEXT, 'TVC', 1)):
{
TUNER_JUNK=REMOVE_STRING (DATA.TEXT, 'TVC', 1)
TUNER_CH=MID_STRING(DATA.TEXT, 1, 3)
send_command vtp,"'text12-channel','-',itoa("tuner_ch")"

You don't want to use ITOA() because tuner_ch is already a string and not an integer.
Try this and you should get to where you want to go.:
send_command vtp,"'text12-channel-',tuner_ch"

I am assuming the protocol string looks like this, correct me if it wrong..

DATA.TEXT = 'TVC099'

DEFINE_VARIABLE
CHAR TUNER_CH[3]
...
ACTIVE (FIND_STRING (DATA.TEXT, 'TVC', 1)):
{ 
	REMOVE_STRING (DATA.TEXT, 'TVC', 1)
	
	// FIND THE FIRST INSTANCE OF ASCII NUMERICS
	TUNER_CH = ITOA(ATOI(DATA.TEXT));

	// SEND COMMAND TEND TO BE CASE SENSITIVE, MAKE SURE YOU USE ALL CAPS FOR 'TEXT12'
	SEND_COMMAND vTP,"'TEXT12-channel','-',TUNER_CH";
}

Thanks Joe, worked fine, I had just done a cut and paste from another part of the program and and over looked that ITOA command.
