Collecting Data through Barcode Scanner into 4 Different Text Inputs

Posted on by rhodsey09

Hi. I'm currently modifying my app to be able to use Data Matrix scanning via phone. I'm adding a Barcode Scanner button that when scanning the Data Matrix, gives me a similar string,

"STRING1 STRING2 STRING3 STRING4"

I need a way to automatically load each one of these small substrings into a separate text input for each string. I tried using the split function but couldn't quite get it to work.

See the attached photo for reference

In each text input default property use this formula, changing the number 1-4 to correspond to the text box order:
Index(Split(BarcodeScanner1.Value, " "),1).Result

I just tried this, but the result only appeared in the first text box and it contained the whole string. The other three text boxes were left blank.

Also I think it is a tab in between each string and not a space, if that has any impact.
