Hi, I need to find out what these lines of code are doing? The purpose of the code is to get information from a machine via RS232. The string of information this prog is getting, is being manipulated but I can't figure out what hell its doing to the string? I'm not a QBasic programmer so Any help explaining these 6/7 lines would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
