ASCII string help

[s0l0seven]

Can I change the ASCII number equvialent like (035) in to a string (or something) so when I call that string it will out put it in my code

[Guest CNC Apps Guy 1]

I believe you can just put the ASCII number anywhere you want it and it will output. Are you talking about if a certain contition exists then to output the given character?

What I am trying to do is change the mpfan post to a Bridgeport post, since it has 4 axis and sub capabilities.

Now in Fanuc controllers the subs begin with O

Like O3456 and I want to change it to output #3456

.

Any ideas.

I am a beginner at customization and I am not exactly sure how to change this.

It seams that if I could make a string like (spound = 035) and replace the stro in a couple places it would work.

psub_st_s #Header in sub leveln

result = nwadrs(stro, sub_prg_no)

" ", e

*sub_prg_no, e

pbld, n, sgabsinc, e

Try this,

Do a search for "sub_prg_no", when you find it, you'll probably find this "

fmt O 7 sub_prg_no #Program number

Change it to this;

fmt "#" 7 sub_prg_no #Program number

That should do it.

Hope that helps.

Hello guys,

Actually I am not sure that what James said would work since the posts does not read what is after the #. We have tried to put it between "" but it did not work. What I would suggest is this:

fmt 7 sub_prg_no #Program number

" ", e

35, *sub_prg_no, e

pbld, n, sgabsinc, e

I am pretty sure that this is going to work since that is the procedure we use here to write variables in our programs.

Actually, this is probably the easiest way to make that change.

psub_st_s #Header in sub level

result = nwadrs(no2asc(35), sub_prg_no)

sav_n2 = n

n = seqno

" ", e

*sub_prg_no, e

pbld, n, sgabsinc, e

The no2asc(35) converts an integer into the ascii equivalent.

Very cool. I'm definitely not in the "Young Skywalker Class".

I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy.

Willy: He's trying to get ascii code 035 the "#" output, not convert the string "35" to ascii.

As far as I know, there is no way to set a variable equal to an ascii code, so Marting's way is about the only way to do it.

[Allan Brown]

Willy's method does work. gstephens - you're thinking of no2str() rather than no2asc().

[gstephens]

Cool.

WOW!

thanks guys

Now i have another question.

My generated code outputs = #0001 to tell it to do sub 0001. I cant have space between the = and the #. How would you correct this? (its on lhe last line)

psub_call_s #Call to sub level

result = nwadrs(strp, sub_prg_no)

#sub_prg_no = sub_prg_no + 100 #Add sub number offset

if progno = sub_prg_no, result = mprint(sprgnerror)

pbld, n, "=",035, *sub_prg_no, e

Add this line before:

spaces = 0

and spaces = 1 after
