Looks like your "With Suffix" documentation needs "Padding at End -
Checked" included. As you have it documented I believe the actual
final barcode would be 000123book instead of the 123000book you show.
Otherwise I don't think there is anything else to point out right now.
Or at least nothing is jumping out at me.
Quoting Josh Stompro <[email protected]>:
Thomas, Thank you for the feedback. I've updated the documentation
to include a beginning paragraph that addresses the scenario you
mentioned, and an example for matching a barcode of any length with
a prefix and suffix. Please let me know if you think I covered it
sufficiently.

Subject: Re: [OPEN-ILS-DOCUMENTATION] Barcode Completion Docs -
Barcode formats
No padding character or zero length means "attach prefix/suffix to
input and look that up".
That may be useful for things like adding a single character to the
front of scanned barcodes, regardless of length, such as when
migrated/imported data may contain a leading or trailing character.
Or both.
Possible examples with length set to 0 and/or padding not set:
Prefix of "a" and suffix of "b" when a barcode scanner was
previously outputting those characters around the barcode.
Prefix of "d" because migrated data includes that character but new
scans will only include the digits.
Note that "Want to fill out to 14 digits" and "want to check if it
exists with a d in front" at the same time could require three rules.
One for "add the d regardless of what was entered", one for "fill
out to 14 digits without a d", and one for both (length 15, prefix
has the d in front of whatever the normal prefix is from filling out
to 14 digits).

Hello, the Doc Hackfest on Wed inspired me to try and get the barcode
completion docs done. I have limited experience with various formats
of barcodes though, we have a standard for the state of MN, 14 digits,
5 character prefix, zeros for padding, significant digits to the
right.
Here is a link to the gist -
https://gist.github.com/stompro/728e92ab9dae47a15a88
I include examples for 4 types of barcodes,
* Prefix + padding
* Suffix + Padding
* Left padding
* Right padding
Are there any other examples I should include?
Thanks
Josh
