Dividing Serial Data

[johnsold]

If your string is always defined as {First element = First character, Second element = Next three characters, and Last element = Last three characters}, then parsing is easy. But if you can also get 1256256 => "12", "56", "256", then you have a serious problem of knowing what is what.

Do you know exactly how the data is formatted? If not, check with the manufacturer of the device to get the information. Without that information it will be difficult or impossible to assure that your data is correctly decoded.

Hi. Lynn,

 yes.  It is always defined as the loop of  first element = first character, second element = next  three characters and third element = next three characters.  and I am attempting to serapate this so that I would have a display for each sensor.

 Thanks

Here is a simple parser based on the String subset function. (LV7.1) This should give you some ideas about how you can make your system work.
