ASCII char. in an objet string - SigmaTec - 23.04.2020
Hi all the LM community,
For my Lua scripts :
I'm looking for how to insert special characters (ASCII table: eg Ohm, diameter ...) in a "string" object (example type 16.14 oct. ASCII string).
And also how to take LM into account several "space" characters in these strings: by default it concatenates them into a single character.
Any idea ?
BR from France.
Thank's in adance for your answer.

You can use any UTF-8 characters but it is advised to use 250-byte string object because other type are too short.
Spaces are collapsed by your browser, it's how HTML works. You can use no-break space character to put several spaces together:
Code:
nbsp = string.char(0xC2, 0xA0)
grp.update('32/1/1', '123' .. nbsp .. nbsp .. 'Ω')RE: ASCII char. in an objet string - SigmaTec - 23.04.2020
Ok, that's why it doesn't give the expected result with string.char (32) !
Now it runs correcly with your code.
Thanks again.
