Re: Character conversion

Sorry, I don't follow you. What do you mean by "get 105 in a single character"? (Unless you mean exactly what I said already, that you want to set the value of a byte to x'69', which is the same as decimal 105?)

Likewise, when you say F1F2 compressed into 12, that's what I already said... instead of charvar = '12' you'd do charvar = x'12'.

Isn't that what I said? What am I missing?

Scott,

That was example data only. Not good, either, unfortunately. I need
to get 105 in a single character. Then, pairs of digits - such as 1
and 2 - which would be in a character string as F1F2 (two characters)
compressed into one character (12). Different digit pairs are needed
(variable data). The 105 and another value, 104, are constants used
to identify the change of coding within a barcode sequence. Just
latched onto %char, unfortunately.
