I need to remove characters from answer of device

My problem is, sometimes what I need is in the start of the answer .... sometimes in the end.

Like that:

NB07□□ID01,F02,ST0001111□ID02,F02,ST0000000□ID05,F02,ST1110110□

The size of the answers are variable, so I need to identify the start with ID02 and put in a variable the complete feedback.

Example: VARIABLE = ID02,F02,ST0000000

I don't know what instruction I hace to use in this case.

Thanks!

2Fast,

I know we have seen this string already in the forum, it may have been from you. The key to parsing this message is finding the delimiter or the "TAIL" of the message. I can only assume what the little "□" none-printable character is for this message. But it seems that is the delimiter or "TAIL" of each of these sections. For the code example I will assume that the none-printable character is a Carriage Return / $0D.

DEFINE_VARIABLE

CHAR TAIL[] = {$0D};

DEFINE_EVENT

DATA_EVENT[dvDevice]
{
	STRING:
	{
		WHILE (FIND_STRING(cBuffer,"TAIL",1))
		{
			cMsg = REMOVE_STRING(cBuffer,"TAIL",1);
		
			// Remove the Tail
			SET_LENGTH_STRING(cMsg, LENGTH_STRING(cMsg) - 1);
			
			IF (FIND_STRING(cMsg,'ID',1))
			{
				// YOU SHOULD HAVE A COMPLETE ID MESSAGE HERE	
				cANSWER = cMsg;
			}
		}	
	}
}

Hmm I'm here again

I don't need only one feedback, I need to divide in answers from specific devices in the "network" and I really don't know how....

feedback1=ID01,F02,ST1110016
feedback2=ID02,F02,ST0110013
feedback3=ID03,F02,ST0100014

If the size of the answer was the same every time I would read for positions ...

With theses examples I'm not understanting

DEFINE_VARIABLE

CHAR TAIL[] = {$0D};

CHAR cAnswer[100][25];

DEFINE_EVENT

DATA_EVENT[dvDevice]
{
	STRING:
	{
		STACK_VAR INTEGER nCurrentID;
		
		WHILE (FIND_STRING(cBuffer,"TAIL",1))
		{
			cMsg = REMOVE_STRING(cBuffer,"TAIL",1);
		
			// Remove the Tail
			SET_LENGTH_STRING(cMsg, LENGTH_STRING(cMsg) - 1)
			
			IF (FIND_STRING(cMsg,'ID',1))
			{
				//ATOI Gets the '01' from the ID01,F02,ST1110016
				nCurrentID = ATOI(cMsg);
				
				IF (nCurrentID <= MAX_LENGTH_ARRAY(cANSWER) && nCurrentID)
				{
					// YOU SHOULD HAVE A COMPLETE ID MESSAGE HERE	
					cANSWER[nCurrentID] = cMsg;
				}	
			}
		}	
	}
}

Jeff - where is cBuffer?

I did not provide ALL the code!!!!!!! I am hoping people know how to create a buffer and declare a buffer!!!!!

No no - not dumb. No question is dumb and you're not disturbing us.

James is right...
