parse

In supporting barcode symbologies, when the parse option is specified, any instances of ^NNN in the data field are replaced with their equivalent ASCII value, useful for specifying unprintable characters.

Example

Equivalent symbols:

0 0 moveto (This is Data Matrix) ()
/datamatrix /uk.co.terryburton.bwipp findresource exec
0 0 moveto (This is ^068ata Matrix) (parse)
/datamatrix /uk.co.terryburton.bwipp findresource exec

parsefnc

In supporting barcode symbologies, when the parsefnc option is specified, non-data function characters can be specified by escaped combinations such as ^FNC1, ^FNC4 and ^SFT/.

Example

Code 93 including a special shift combination (/)A representing !:

0 0 moveto (TERRY^SFT/A) (parsefnc includecheck)
/code93 /uk.co.terryburton.bwipp findresource exec
