Hi

I have a date and time string 180713 0830. I must logging this string in format 13.07.18 08:30. How can I do this? At the moment I can separate it to 1$=18 2$=07 3$=13 4$=08 5$=30, but how can I merge it together? Is it possible?

Hi Fork,

You can capture the information either using string variable (n$) or channel variable (nCV).
Either way there is no direct method to achieve your requirement.

You may use string manipulation via host port which I discuss in the previous topic.
Basically you make a loop of sending and receiving string on the same port.

Or you can construct that date information via alarm text.
So rather than logging it as data you can log it as alarm (please make sure you use a number after ALARM syntax (i.e.: ALARM1"?1$.?2$...) to trigger a logging process.
And make sure when you do a data transfer the option "alarm=yes" must be included.

Best regards,

Hi Rudy,

thanks for your answer. I will try it via alarms (using of Hostport is not possibly in this project) and thanks for the hint alarm=yes.
