comment separation

[PcRobotic]

Hello everyone,
   I think it is the hardest thing is to write BUFFER and separation of the COMMENT$.  

 

Like... COMMENT$ we have OPERATION COMMENT, AS CODE, AS COMMENT, MACHINE GROUP, TOOL GROUP...  Is there a better way to separate them with out hassle?  

I have spent a lot of time to find out which way is good in this section and honestly I have no luck.  Would you guys please direct me to right right path? 
 

PS= See image  below.

Thank you so much.

=======================
 

pcomment$       #Output Comments
      scomm$ = ucase (scomm$)
      if gcode$ = 1008, no_spc$, sopen_prn, no_spc$, scomm$, no_spc$, sclose_prn, e$  #Operation comment

pcomment0$
      scomm$ = ucase (scomm$)
      if gcode$ = 1005, sopen_prn, scomm$, sclose_prn, e$  #Manual entry - as comment
      if gcode$ = 1006, scomm$, e$                         #Manual entry - as code
      if gcode$ = 1007, sopen_prn, scomm$, sclose_prn      #Manual entry - as comment with move NO e$
      if gcode$ = 1026, scomm$                             #Manual entry - as code with move NO e$
      if gcode$ = 1051, sopen_prn, scomm$, sclose_prn, e$  #Machine name
      if gcode$ = 1052, sopen_prn, scomm$, sclose_prn, e$  #Group comment
      if gcode$ = 1053, sopen_prn, scomm$, sclose_prn, e$  #Group name
      if gcode$ = 1054, sopen_prn, scomm$, sclose_prn, e$  #File Descriptor

pmanualentrycomment
      if gcode$ = 1005, sopen_prn, scomm$, sclose_prn, e$  #Manual entry - as comment
      if gcode$ = 1006, scomm$, e$                         #Manual entry - as code
      if gcode$ = 1007, sopen_prn, scomm$, sclose_prn      #Manual entry - as comment with move NO e$
      if gcode$ = 1026, scomm$

Steven,

The Comment Strings are already stored by MP, in an Internal String Buffer. This is done automatically for you, by MP.DLL.

Comments are "written to the Comment Buffer", and are basically "stored for you", until MP encounters 'comment$', as a "command variable". This means that there is a single line of code in a Post Block, with only the command variable 'comment$'.

When the 'comment$' variable is read on a line by itself, MP will then process every string that is stored in this internal buffer, by passing each string to the 'pcomment$' Post Block. Each comment string sets the NCI Variable 'gcode$' to indicate what "type" of comment is being processed.

MP will always dump all of the stored comment strings, so your logic must account for that.

Hi Colin,
   Thank you for sharing since your time is very valuable.  Is there any tricks to separate them individually?  I recall back 3 year ago, you trained me on the COMMENT$ separation.  Is there any link that can guide me so I can separate them? into individually?


Thank you Colin.
