    Scan barcode and go to next row

    I have a barcode scanner. So when the barcode is scanned using a gun, the value normally is entered to textfield placed on the screen.

    So I have made an excel macro. And when the barcode is scanned, the text appears on the cell ending with the new line character (text+"\r\n" is provided by the scanner itself). So an event is triggered and does the rest.

    The problem is that the event is only triggered with a new line character. What if the barcode scanner didn't provide \r\n after every barcode output. How do I deal with such situations? How do I detect it and trigger event?

    I'm afraid your post does not comply with Rule 8 of our Forum RULES. Cross-posting is when you post the same question in other forums on the web. You'll find people are disinclined to respond to cross-posts because they may be wasting their time solving a problem that has been solved elsewhere. We prefer that you not cross-post at all, but if you do (and it's unlikely to go unnoticed), you MUST provide a link (copy the url from the address bar in your browser)to the cross-post. Expect cross-posts without a link to be closed a message will be posted by the moderator explaining why. We are here to help so help us to help you!

    Read this to understand why we ask you to do this, and then please edit your first post to include links to any and all cross-posts in any other forums (not just this site).
