Is it possible to "mask" or skip characters in multiple locations of a barcode?

Is it possible to "mask" or skip characters in multiple locations of a barcode? // Expert user has replied. R Rick Moore 3 years 7 months ago 224 2 0 Does 123 Scan Configuration Utility have the capability to hide hyphens and drop one character? For example we are scanning a barcode which has data in this format: UFR8-0071-465U The database that we are scanning into will accept the code above if the first hyphen is removed and the U is removed. The database entry post scan should look like this: UFR80071-465 My first attempt was: Scan all symbologies (I don't know the barcode type) Scan 14 characters Locate 5th Character and replace. I couldn't get past that. I returned unwanted results. My next thought was to try the skip feature but I have not been able to master that either. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. Rick

Hi Rick,

If your condition as below:
1)Always the 1st hypen to be removed.
2)Always the last character need to be removed.

Then, I would suggest you to try below:
1)For 1st Hypen- Apply to First pattern and replace:

2)Send to End & Send Backspace for remove the last character:

After above rules, you could perform skip to start and send all remaining.

I haven't test this out yet but hope this helps.

Thanks.Tsu Beng
