Hi team,

 

Is it possible to create an ADF rule to truncate the last 2 characters of all kinds of barcodes a scanner scanned? The obstacle is that the length of those barcodes is not fixed.

 

Maybe have to setup a lot of rules as below?

If length = 5, then send 3

If length=6, then send 4

…

 

Thank you!

Thanks, Sean. It is just a question raised in a seminar. No customer has that requirement. Junhua

You could conceivably have multiple rules to take into account different lengths as you mentioned , if code is 8 chars long send next 6 chars, if code is 10 chars long send next 8 chars, and so on. There will be a point though when this solution becomes unworkable if you have many code lengths. Out of interest what is the customer solution? Stripping the last 2 chars of every code length sounds unusual to me.
