Hello,
I am developing a Java desktop application that depends a lot of the data read by barcode scanner, and most of times that data are UCC/EAN 128 barcodes. To a right interpretation of this type of barcodes is necessary get the Group Separator character with 29 ASCII code to can separate fields with length variable data from fields with fixed length.
My problem is that when I read the UCC/EAN 128 barcode with my barcode scanner to a Java text component the Group Separator character is omitted and I can't make a right interpretation of the barcode.
For example, the data that compose the barcode are 0125604420013313103<GS>17100405 and the data read are 012560442001331310317100405.
If I write the code:
textField.setText( ""+((char)29) )
the text component represents this character with a white space.
Can any one help me on this subject, please?
