4 Setup
4-4-1 Standard and Wildcard Modes
Standard mode allows you to match total or partial barcodes by defining strings in the Match String
Database.
Wildcard mode allows you to create custom matches using wildcards and placeholders.
A wildcard is a single character that can act as one or more character. A placeholder is a character
that can substitute for exactly one character.
Standard Mode
Select Match All under Settings for Match String.
Under Match String Database, input the exact decoded data as it appears when you scan the
barcode. Match All is working correctly if it successfully matches a barcode of the same length and
character sequence that you input in the Match String Database.
Now select Partial Match under Settings for Match String. Choose a start position and length based
on the barcode you're scanning.
Partial Match works by using the Start and Length fields and attempting to match the exact portion of
text defined in the Match String Database in that location.
For example, if the decoded symbol data is 1234567, Start=1, Length=2, and the input in the Match
String Database is 12, the match would be successful because characters 12 are in the portion of the
barcode data defined by the Start and Length fields.
Try achieving several of your own Partial Matches on several portions of your barcode data, changing
the Start and Length fields each time.
In both Match All and Partial Match, you can output custom text upon a successful or unsuccessful
match. These fields can be activated and edited by clicking on Match Replace and Mismatch
Replace.
If you enter several inputs into the Match String Database, the application will attempt to match all of
them. If one match is successful, then the other failures are ignored, and the match is considered
successful.
