VB guy neds help with real code
(OP)
Hi all,
I know that this may not be the correct forum, but I thought I would give it a shot....
I have a snipet of C code I need a little translation on. I only know a small amount of C or ++ so I am kind of stuck. I understand that there are some values assigned in the code that you cant see because it is missing, but I am hoping that you can do you best. My main focus is what occurs with the sprintf call. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Here is the code:
void IS_NewPalletNumber( char PalletNumber[] )
{
int PalletSeed;
static char GrafTable[] = "0123456789ABCDEFGHJKLPQRTUVYX#";
if ( LogSettings.PalletNumber >= IS_MaxPalletNumber ) {
LogSettings.PalletNumber = 0;
}/*if*/
PalletSeed = LogSettings.PalletNumber;
/* Keep the pallet numbers unique between 10 machines */
PalletSeed += ((MachineNumber-1) * 2000);
sprintf( PalletNumber,"%c%03d",
GrafTable[10+(PalletSeed/1000)], PalletSeed % 1000 );
LogSettings.PalletNumber++;
}/* IS_NewPalletNumber */
Thanks again,
Bill

SUB NewPalletNumber (PalletNumber$)
REM void IS_NewPalletNumber( char PalletNumber[] )
REM static char GrafTable[] = "0123456789ABCDEFGHJKLPQRTUVYX#";
dim GrafTable$[30]
GrafTable$[0] = "0"
GrafTable$[1] = "1"
GrafTable$[2] = "2"
REM You get the general idea. You could also set this up as a string then use
REM the INSTR function but this gives you an idea of how the C code worked
GrafTable$[29] = "#"
REM I assume in the original C code that LogSettings is a structure. In the
REM BASIC code I'll assume that LSPalletNumber% and MaxPalletNumber%
REM are global variables. MaxPalletNumber% is set somewhere else.
REM LSPalleNumber% = LogSettings.PalletNumber
REM MaxPalletNumber% = IS_MaxPalletNumber
REM if ( LogSettings.PalletNumber >= IS_MaxPalletNumber) {
REM LogSettings.PalletNumber = 0;
REM }/*if*/
IF LSPalletNumber% >= MaxPalletNumber% THEN LSPalletNumber% = 0
REM PalletSeed = LogSettings.PalletNumber;
PalletSeed% = LSPalletNumber%
REM /* Keep the pallet numbers unique between 10 machines */
REM PalletSeed += ((MachineNumber-1) * 2000);
REM I'm also assumming that MachineNumber% is a global set somewhere else
PalletSeed% = PalletSeed% + ((MachineNumber% - 1) * 2000)
REM sprintf( PalletNumber,"%c%03d", GrafTable[10+(PalletSeed/1000)], PalletSeed % 1000 );
REM I'm going to break this into parts to make it easier to understand
I% = 10 + (PalletSeed% / 1000)
J% = PalletSeed% mod 1000
X$ = LTRIM$(RTRIM$(STR$(J%)))
WHILE LEN(X$) < 3
X$ = "0" + X$
WEND
PalletNumber$ = GrafTable$[I%] + X$
REM LogSettings.PalletNumber++;
LSPalletNumber% = PalleNumber% + 1
EXIT SUB
I hope that helps. As you can see, sprintf does a lot. It sets up the return string and formats it, too.
