Is there a way to scan a string containing % (percent symbols) using the "Scan from String" function?

I am communicating serially with a chilled mirror device and the input string syntax contains this text: "%RH=<input value>"
I have not been able to figure out how to tell the function that the percent here is not a format specifier. Is this possible, or should I just try to use a different function?
Thanks.
Mitch
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Use %% in your format string so that it knows to use the percent literally.  So %%RH=%f
EDIT:  Darin got one in there ahead of me.  It looks like either \% and %% both work.

    If you aren't going to live that long maybe you should give up with computers and start enjoying the few remaining hours.

  • Is there a way to filter a drop down list by using the result main data display from"GetUserProfileByName" when open the form.

    Hi 
    Is there a way to filter a drop down list by using the result main data display from"GetUserProfileByName" when open the form?
    The second source has a huge list of company names that can be narrrow by email work.

    I'm not sure if I understood your question clearly but here is a good resource on how to get attributes from "GetUserProfileByName" web services:

    Regarding filtering dropdown list then this could be done by applying form on-load rules. 
    Hope this helps

  • I share a Toshiba Qosmio with my fiance as our 'home' computer, i recently bought an iphone 4, he has a 4s why can i not sync my music to itunes? Is there a way to have 2 seperate accounts on iTunes using the same computer

    My fiance and I share our home laptop, he is awaiting his new Mac arrival.  During this time I have sold my old laptop and used this one, Toshiba Qosmio.  When i plug my iphone 4 into iTunes and try to sync the music, it prompts a window that says if i sync music his, from his iphone 4s will override mine and erase my music.  Isn't there a way I can have 2 seperate accounts or just delete his, as he is getting a new one?  I have tried uninstalling although it still comes up to his account.  TERRIBLY FRUSTRATED!!!!  I am new to the iphone, as we were Droid users prior to this.  Thank you for any help

  • Is there a way to mirror your monitor to your tv using the apple composite cable instead to just stream your video in specific situations?

    Hello,
    i bought the composite video cable out for the ipad and i want to know if there is a way to mirror the ipad monitor instead to just transmit video in specific sittuations. The same to my iphone.
    I know that there is a way to do it in jailbreak ipads or iphones (using a app, but don't want to do it).

    Thanks Dave.  When I read the manuals they did not communciate this point this clearly.
    Use one of these to connect iPad to a TV or projector:
    Apple Digital AV Adapter and an HDMI cableÂÂ
    Apple Component AV CableÂÂ
    Apple Composite AV CableÂÂ
    Apple VGA AdapterÂÂ
    If you use the Apple Digital AV Adapter or the Apple Component AV Cable, high-resolution videos are shown in HD quality. Apple cables are available for purchase in many countries. Go to www.apple.com/store.
    With iPad 2, when the cable is connected to a TV or projector, the iPad screen is automatically mirrored on the external display in up to 1080p resolution, and videos play at a maximum resolution of 720p. Some apps such as Keynote may use the external display as a second video monitor. With previous iPad models, only certain applications (including YouTube, Videos, and Photos) use the external display.

  • Is there a way to update Alternative Items and reverse link using the DTW?

    I have approximately 8,000 items that need to be tied with alternate items.  I am curious if there is a way using the DTW as opposed to manually input?
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Have you tried oAlternateCatNum template?  It is the only one close to your requirement but may not be the right one.  If it doesn't work, then it will be none due to no DI exposure.
    Thanks,

  • Is there a way to run Firefox updates on Macintosh computers using the command line?

    In our school district we have thousands of Macintosh computers that have Firefox installed (on Mac OS X 10.4 through 10.6). When a new update is released to fix security vulnerabilities it would be very helpful if our Tech Support Specialists could send out a command to all the Macs using Apple Remote Desktop to update Firefox. Is there a command that can be sent to update Firefox? If so, could you please tell me what the command is? Thanks so much for any help that can be provided.

    Certainly, but not with external interface.
    Have a look at the cookbooks. There are examples of how to use the root host object to call directly into extendscript.

  • How can I change the file version for scanned PDFs to 1.4 when using the "PDF from Scanner" feature from Acrobat XI? By default it's always saved as 1.5.

    Because our IT system can only handle PDFs with versions up to 1.4, we need to "PDF from scanner" feature to store the scanned PDFs in version 1.4.
    Acrobat 9 always saved it in 1.4, but starting with Acrobat X, the PDFs are saved in 1.5.
    There must be a setting or configuration somewhere where I can change this.
    I already tried modifying the distiller's standard joboptions, but that did not work.
    Thanks for any help

    We use in our software an open-source pdf library that only supports pdf versions up to 1.4. I know it is old, but it's not that simple to exchange it.
    But I just had a look into the Actions as you suggested. This way I get it to work. It costs one additional click, so that's acceptable.
    Thanks for the support.

  • Is there a way to turn 'passcode on immediately' while also using the fingerprint sensor?

    If I turn my fingerprint sensor on in the new iPhone 5s to use as the passcode, it requires it to be used immediately after locking. I would like to change this to 1 minute but there aren't any other options when the fingerprint sensor is on. Is there a fix to this?

    i am wondering the same thing. Also there should be an option where you ONLY have the fingerprint unlock instead of also having the numerical password when sliding phone.

  • Is there a way to format text (ie: bold, size) when using the browser edit function

    How do you add a trademark symbol

    Text formatting/styling isn't supported through IBE at this time but you can type the Trademark symbol as mentioned in the following article, there should be no problems in syncing it back to your Muse project - http://www.wikihow.com/Type-the-Trademark-Symbol

  • Is there a way to create different groups for my contacts using the installed contact app

    I am trying to make a group on my contacts. So that it's easier to just make messages to people and not having to make group messages every single time. For example, making a group for a sports team so that I can just message everyone in the group at once.

    No not possible but you can create contact groups at www.icloud.com and if you have contact synced thru cloud the groups you make at www.icloud.com will appear on your phone

  • How do you effectively use if,for, type loops in TestStand. Do you have to use the goto command or is there a way of writing actual c type code (perhaps using the statement step in teststand) with the variables allready declared.

    Thank you
    Arik

    I assume your loop is more than just one step. You should use the 'Loop Options' for a single step.
    For looping on a group of steps, you can place them all in a sub sequence and then set the 'Loop Options' for the 'SequenceCall' step to set up your looping conditions. Pass values to and from the sub-sequence by Parameters.
    You can keep the loop inline with the rest of your sequence by using 'Goto' or using 'Goto destination' in the Post Actions tab of the condition step.
    Using a sub sequence will keep it easier to read and maintain.

  • When the printer dialog shows up is there a way to print by pressing enter instead of using the mouse?

    Right now, I have to click with the mouse: I don't have to do in in Firefox: Just press enter!

    I just tried it in Thunderbird and it worked for me.
    Try holding the shift key while you start Thunderbird to disable add-ons and see if that could be the cause.

  • HT1863 Is there any way possible to find my stolen iPads by using the serial numbers and not the cheesy find my lost iphone/pad app. Just turn off wifi, reset the ipad with a hard reset and no more tracker. Dissapointing since I paid $700 for it.

     

    Apple (and no one else) can not assist (with serial number or iCloud) in finding a lost or stolen iPad.
    Report to police along with serial number. Change all your passwords.

  • I recently authored a DVD. Is there a way to make it into a Blu Ray using the same project settings?

    All my titles, menus, etc are in 720x480.  I'm not sure how to upscale it. 
    I tried just exporting as a Blu Ray, and the quality is terrible, the video menus are all screwy.  Also, I am getting Media Offline messages on footage that works perfectly fine on DVD. I tried burning straight to disc and also to an ISO.
    Thanks.

    They would be! you have tried to scale up from 720x480 in non-square pixels to (possibly) 1920x1080, and you cannot expect to do that & have it look any good.
    For HD, start using images that are ideally lossless (no JPEG) bitmaps or Tiff files are best, I find, and create your menu at the right resolution.
    Please also check that the resolution & frame rate you are using is also BD legal.
