tool comment

[keedo]

Hello forum users

I have this problem when i post out my programme and i have this letter ø in the tool comment. Then when i load it at our Haas Machine it errors out, be course of this letter ( ø ) even its only a comment.

So is there a way to change the post so when it see the letter ( ø ) it will change it to something else or delete it?

 

Right now im using the Generic Haas 3X Mill post. That i downloaded on the Mastercam homepage

That is how you named the tool in your program. Change that tool name in the program and no need for a post change. That is a special character and in my 30+ years of writing code I have never once tried to do what and seen exactly what you are seeing anytime I have tired.

Have you altered the post? Are you sure this isn't a "special character"?

[keedo]

Thanks for the replys

I have not altered anything yet

Yes its a special character and its cumming from my tool library (tool comment)

I just hoped that i could add a line of code, instead of going trough all my tool library's and manual deleting the ( ø )

 

The thing is that in all my old tool library's  i have given all my tools names like " ø12 r2 " ø for the Diameter. 

The old Haas machines that we have no problem. But the new Haas machine don't like this ø character and errors out. Evan though its only a comment inside ()

If you are using Mastercam 2019 or later, use a regular expression to sanitize the string.

s_regex       := "[^\x00-\x7F]"
s_replacement := ""

psof$
	*e$
	"Before: ", ~strtool$, e$
	strtool$ = regex(s_regex, s_replacement, 2)
	"After : ", ~strtool$, e$

Sample output.

Before:  Ø12 R0,2 *60 ISCAR
After :  12 R0,2 *60 ISCAR

Thanks Zaffin_D

Exactly what i was looking for 

"[^\x00-\x7F]"

You saved my day
