Badge Definition Language Comments COMMENTS A line that starts with the '#' (pound sign) character is a comment. The rest of the line is ignored. You should use comments liberally throughout the badge definition so that future users of the definition can understand its operation. COMMANDS A line that starts with the '*' (star or splat) symbol is a command. The currently defined commands are shown on the table below. Command START LINES LENGTH REQ STRIP END 30 Syntax * START c [ c [ c [...]]] where c = character in the badge start sequence * LINES n where n = number of lines per badge * LENGTH n m where n = line number m = length of the line in characters * REQ c [ c [ c [...]]] where c = character in the badge start sequence * STRIP c where c = character to be stripped from incoming data * END c [ c [ c [...]]] where c = character in the badge end sequence ExpoBadge® All In One User’s Manual Description Defines the character sequence, which signals the start of a new badge. Defines how many 'lines' there are in a badge. This tells the input parser how to determine when all of the data for a badge has been read. Tells the parser that the given line is of fixed length. Usually, the parser breaks the input into lines based on the presence of new line characters. This provides a means for parsing badges, which are of made up of fields of fixed length with no newlines. Defines a character sequence that is sent to the badge reader to request a badge to be sent. Instructs the parser to strip all instances of the specified character from the input BEFORE parsing out the field information. Defines the character sequence that signals the end of a badge. This is one method for telling the input parser how to determine when all of the data for a badge has been read.
