Forward slash removed within a string

I am having difficulty including a / forward slash character within a string. I am using the append function . I have tried '99/100' and '99'#47'100' and the / is being stripped. The result is 99100. If I use another character eg backslash #92 it works.

Is there something special I need to do here - I tried // too ?

As an aside the ability to use variable names for string concatenation would be a nice feature. Rather than loads of append lines.

DisplayText: string;
HWTemp: string;

DisplayText := 'Hot water temperature is ' HWTemp '?C';

I just tried the following code in PICED and it worked fine:

Code:

s := '99/100';
WriteLn(s);

Can you give exact details of your code and what you observed.

 

Ahh... sorry Darren looks like it could be a problem elsewhere.

I am originating my packets in TCP and using a bridge to get them sent by UDP. I do the same in reverse for receive. It looks like this may be a bug in the bridge software I'm using. I should be able to fix this as I wrote it

Are there any future plans to support UDP ?

Also I haven't had a lot of success with WriteLn() as my screen output gets constantly cleared. I think this is because my startup module enables another module and then disables itself , and it seems to clear the message screen when it stops.. at least I can't find anything else that would clear it... there is no scroll content. I'll have to investigate some more.

Yes. I can't say exactly when this will happen though.

The output from WriteLn gets cleared after each scan. There is an option in the logic engine to log any messages from WriteLn.
