I know that gb.pcre does what I did, I just haven't figured out how to use it.

\d doesn't work with grep, you have to use [0-9].

I decided to try to do this the right way so hidraw file numbers higher than 9 would be found, so I've spent the past 45 minutes trying to understand how the gb.pcre function works. Since I couldn't understand gb.pcre, I decided to go back to the basics and just add an additional grep to the shell c...

Ah, I see what you're referring to now. In that case, you will need to modify the code to fit your situation. :P ;) I doubt I'll ever have more than 10 hid devices attached, so this works for me. The computer this will eventually be used on is a dedicated pc for my inventory system. There's probably...

From my understanding, 'Close' only closes the stream, not the process. To end a process use "Try hProcess.Kill".

I've set up sudo to let my user be root for certain commands. Not sure what you are referring to with the second question, so I'll answer it this way... If you grep the device's name (eg: "dymo" in my case) and extract the hid device name (eg: "hidraw3" in my case) and feed that ...

I've change the subject to better fit what this thread is about. I was able to read (and decode) the USB stream from the DYMO M10 scale using Gambas and a couple shell commands. During this exercise I've learned the dymo scales uses a raw stream to output an array of 6 elements. After finding a Perl...

I discovered using a _kill() sub works a treat. I can put whatever is needed in there to alert the user the scales is off-line.

I have to put this project to the side for awhile again. Next go around I should have enough to work this into my inventory project.

Putting the stream into an array was much easier than I was expecting.

Since the scale has an auto-off after 3 minutes idle time, I need to test for a lack of stream so I can display a message. Is there a way to test for a stream?

I've picked this up again. I found a perl script tonight that got me pointed in the right direction. Now to get the scales working with Gambas... I made 2 changes to cogier's code (marked as comment in the code): Public Sub Form_Open() hProc = Exec ["sudo", "cat", "/dev/hidr...
