Re: (ot) barcodes and mobile sites
Hi Dave and all, Excuse the dumb question, I fully understand how the QR code and reader works, I've built a number of QR solutions, where I use it to direct users to PDFs and videos resources, activities per file are stored in the database, as you can capture url values. I've never used barcode before, how does it work as far as storing info into a database? Especially when using those physical barcode readers or even apps QR codes can launch a specific URL in the mobile browser. Is that what you're trying to do? Thanks Dave.not exactly, but that does spark another idea. Any idea if the URL can specify URL params as well (I assume so...just have not really used them much)?? Yes, they can. Anything you can put in a URL will work in a QR code. Well, if they're regular barcodes, the Android barcode reader might be able to read them just fine. I know that I've used mine to read several different barcode formats. I don't remember which ones any more because it was quite some time ago.

But custom apps can invoke the barcode scanner app, read the number, and do something with it, like Google Shopper does.

Re: Does Not Contain Number
Speaking of learning regexes, Ben Forta's book comes to mind. I used it myself to get started, and not so long ago bought one for an employee who needed a Square 1 intro to them. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:358384 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
