[StarinschiAndrei]

Hi everyone,
Could anybody help me how to replace space with 60h ?
I'm working on integration with an API , if a send a string that contain " "(space) the API replace with +
Based on the documentation description :"NamePLU - 30 symbols for article's name plus separator for MU=60h"

If PLUName.Contains(" ") Then
        PLUName= Regex.Replace(" ",PLUName,"\<")
    End If

You don't need to escape the “<"

 PLUName= Regex.Replace(" ",PLUName,"<")

 

[StarinschiAndrei]

You don't need to escape the “<"

 PLUName= Regex.Replace(" ",PLUName,"<")

Where is the "&" from? could you post the project?

I think it is useless to post the project , because my app communicate with an API witch is connected to a cash register.
This is the the documentation

    Dim su As StringUtils
    command = su.EncodeUrl(command, "UTF-8")
    Dim j As HttpJob
    j.Initialize("",Me )
    j.Download("http://localhost:4444/" & command)
    Wait For(j) JobDone(j As HttpJob)
    If j.Success Then
        Log(j.GetString) 
        Return Code
    End If
    j.Release
End Sub

I mean that you post a snippet like this

 Dim PLUName as String="TEST 3"
 PLUName= Regex.Replace(" ",PLUName,"<")
 log(PLUName)

what is the result?

Here is the log result : TEST<3
And here is the printed line by device :

 

[Daestrum]

Can you not just use

PLUName = PLUName.Replace(" ","+")

As you said it replaces spaces with '+' not a '<'

 

[teddybear]

Here is the log result : TEST<3
And here is the printed line by device :
View attachment 141760

Try to send "TEST<3" to printer. see what result is?
The ECR prints TEST<3, isn't it the resullt you want?

 

[StarinschiAndrei]

Can you not just use

PLUName = PLUName.Replace(" ","+")

As you said it replaces spaces with '+' not a '<'

Here is the result :

 

[Daestrum]

As it is sent to a web address you may find you need to send

PLUName = PLUName.Replace(" ","%20")

 

[StarinschiAndrei]

As it is sent to a web address you may find you need to send

PLUName = PLUName.Replace(" ","%20")

thank you ! ! ! it's working

 

[Daestrum]

Have a look at url encoding for which chars can appear in a web address line.

 

[DonManfred]
