I have a list of the following codes and their corresponding codes in format code_128. I want to given a string, be able to generate the corresponging code in CODE_128 format. Based on this list, how could I generate a code_128 number to the string A4Y9387VY34, for example?

code                   code in code_128
A4Y9387VY34                 ????

Well, this is a pretty open question, I will give you my suggestions:

  1. If it is a finite list, you can use a Hash or a Dictionary, where the keys are the Codes and map them to the corresponding value, in your case, Code_128
  2. Some scanners have software installed that allow you to change what has been read to a new value, format it, etc.

If you need a bigger insight please, give us more detail about the environment you are using. Hope that helps,

  • Thanks for your answer!! But I was thinking in some method or algorithm to given a code string, calculate the corresponding code in format code_128.. – Unknown Nov 12 '13 at 02:24
  • @Unknown, any specific format for Code? For example EAN13 (as I can see 12 digits there - thirteen could be the check digit)? – Ramon Araujo Nov 12 '13 at 02:29
  • Apparently just a string that is composed of numbers and letters, but the size may be different than 12, such as string A4Y9387VY34 have size 11. But I think we could see these input codes as strings of EAN13 maybe. – Unknown Nov 12 '13 at 02:37
  • From what I can gather there is a pattern for the first 4 numbers of the resulting string, the first two are 96 and the next two are either 11 or 22. But I do not know to what this is related. – Unknown Nov 12 '13 at 02:46

I decided to create a new answer because now I get your point. Well, if you are talking about a GS1-128 Code (please see www.gs1.org) please do not start without visiting Wikipedia info about it. as you can see, there is a thorough explanation about how to work with that type of code. That code is composed by several application identifiers followed by their corresponding values. There is a better way of encoding them by using special characters as parenthesis. Here is other info that may help you.

Hope it helps,

  • Thanks for your help! I've edit the description, please see if it can help to see it in another way or if the way you suggested its really the correct. Thanks! – Unknown Nov 12 '13 at 03:38
  • Hi, there are a couple of spellings there you should take care about. Also, if you think this answers your question, please mark my answer as the solution (checkmark) – Ramon Araujo Nov 12 '13 at 03:41
  • Hi I edited again, thanks for your tips. But I still don't see an answer for what I am looking for. Thanks anyway. – Unknown Nov 12 '13 at 03:47
