Any ideas on what im doing wrong

Gfull

I'm trying to extract the sirius station name, channel, artist, and song from line 196. I dont know how to extract because the text seems to change in length when you change channels.
Can anyone guide me in the right direction.




I've copied the incoming string from port 2 on an ni4100 to a text file so everyone can see
Seems like line 196 is where my info resides and repeats on 205

ACTIVE (FIND_STRING(cMZC88,"$93,$91",1)):

Try that active statement.

You will also need to modify your parsing routine to remove the leading "$00" and "$01", but then you can use "$00" as a delimiter to extract the category, channel name and other stuff. (At least it seems that way).
