You can configure a step to compare the characters in an input string to a character set. The step writes the label that you specify to the output field for each character that matches the character set.
1On the Configuration tab, select the option to add a step to the asset.
The Add Step dialog box opens onscreen.
2Select Character Set as the step type.
3Select the Built-in or Custom option.
- To select a character set from a list of built-in character sets, select Built-in.
- To enter a character set that the step will use, select Custom.
Select or define a character set that identifies the characters that you want to find at run time.
Note: Complete step 4 or step 5, based on your selection of Built-in or Custom option.
4 If you select the Built-in option, the character set adds the label name.
5If you select the Custom option, configure the following options:
aIn the Label field, enter a single character as a label. The step applies the label to any input character that matches a character in the character set.
bSelect the option to add a character set.
cIn the Custom Character Set dialog box, select the Range or Individual character(s) option.
dSelect the characters that you need from the character selection grid.
Note: When you define a range, ensure that you follow the character order in the character selection grid. The character that you select in the From field must precede the character that you select in the To field. For example, do not select 'Z' in the From field and 'A' in the To field. The labeler reads the characters in the grid from top to bottom and from left to right.
6Optionally, use the in the Ignore Text options to specify one or more values that the step will skip during a labeling operation. Configure the Ignore Text properties for each character that you add.
