Ever wonder what's in that barcode on the back of your driver's license? I just got a new toy that I'm playing around with, and I'd like to incorporate A5 to allow me to use it for something useful. It's a Handheld 2D Barcode Scanner, and I want to use it to scan the barcode on the back of a driver's license, then populate forms with the resulting data.

I'm using a special 'sample' Maryland driver's license for testing, but it conforms to the AAMVA standards for universal license data coding. (In other words, it should pretty much work the same way on a license from any state using the AAMVA format.) So what's in the that funny looking barcode?

Rich, For this application, it looks like the best approach would be to scan it into a text area, then parse it with extract_string(). So, for example, if the bar code was read into a variable named BarCodeText, you could have: vAddress = extract_string(BarCodeText,'DAG','DAI') Then, as Mauricio suggested, for the name, you could use the word() to break that up The only issue I see is if the street name is Adai street, or if the person is named Dagwood. To handle that, you could use the occurs() function to check how may times it appears. As Birds Bring Forth The Sun Pdf Import. So if 'DAG' appears twice, then you know there could be a problem.

Hi Rich, Parsing a barcode, yours included, is relatively trivial. There are a myriad of character parsing functions that are usable in Alpha, and there is nothing special here.

The real issue, is that a barcode scanner will scan the data into where ever the cursor is. If the cursor is not where you need data, the barcode characters will be entered wherever it is. If you could get the cursor to move to a particular field or dialog box 1st, then the data entered can be used to fill in data or invoke a find, or whatever you needed to be done. This is exactly what my does for the desktop side.

(which incidently the trial version has a working function feature that has a test mode that allows you to see all characters that the scanner sends, even special keys) within Alpha Five. Doing it for the web side requires handling a javascript key event, which Alpha does not have.

It could be done, but each of the 5 most common browsers all handle key events differently (some in major ways, some minor). Unfortunately, there is no current web standard for key events (unfortunately). If one chooses a specific browser, then it is much simpler problem.
