Data Values

[cmdolcet69]

I am using the following to gwt the return value from the serial port
"mabtRxBuf"

I declare my STRdata as a global string and when the code is executed
I get the following for the STRdata

STRdata = "0.10[]" how can i get rid of the [] in my string?


Dim enc As New System.Text.ASC IIEncoding
STRdata = enc.GetString(m abtRxBuf)

Re: Data Values

This will replace all instances of "[]" with "" in your string.

STRdata = Replace(STRdata , "[]", "")

Does the string really end with the characters "[]" or is the last character
displayed as a rectangle glyph? If the latter is the case, what's the
character code of the last character? You could use
'String.Left'/'String.Substri ng' to extract a part of the string.

Re: Data Values

Maybe you could try this - see if it works:

Dim enc As New System.Text.ASC IIEncoding
STRdata = enc.GetString(m abtRxBuf).Repla ce("[]", "")

As long as this is text data - you should be able to parse out the [].

You are correct it is the last character displayed in the "" how can I
get ride of any character [] in my string

If str.EndsWith("[]" Then
' Get rid of last two chars if they are []
str = str.Substring(0 , str.Length-2)
End If

or

' Get rid of all occurences of []
str = str.Replace("[]", "")

Re: Data Values

The box represents a non-ascii character in the string, probably a line feed
or carriage-return. Use StrData.Length to confirm that the string is
actually one character longer than the ASCII characters you can see. If it
is consistently one character longer than it should be then use the
substring method to extract everything except the last character.

STRdata = STRdata.substri ng(0, STRData.length - 1)

Depending on the contents of the string, you might be able to use

STRdata = STRdata.TrimEnd (Nothing)
