I struggled with something similar Monday...I was trying to take an integer and break up each digit. I could copy the integer to a series of TXT locations, but then I wanted to copy those individual characters back into integers and could not get the job done. The copy instruction wanted to put two digits in some of the integers as if it was copying two consecutive TXT values. I tried separating them with NULL characters between each digit and that still did not work.
In my situation I only would have the values 0,1,2, and 3 in my digits so I brute forced it with compare contacts.
Pseudo code:
If TXT1 = "0" Math DS1 = 0
If TXT1 = "1" Math DS1 = 1
If TXT1 = "2" Math DS1 = 2
etc.
You might not have to resort to that if you can compare the TXT to a space and then force it to be NULL... I am at home without tools to experiment with.
I think that the very sparse Click instruction set needs to be cluttered up with a few ASCII or string handling instructions.

Maybe something like this.
It is not the optimal way, but Paul is correct about the lack of cluttering in the CLICK instruction list.

Math Result toWrong Register - Intermittent
Tried "IF TXT8 = " " then TXT8 = 0. Ditto for the next 3. Ended up with all zeros. Not sure why.
Did individual digits. Copy TXT8 to DS102, TXT9 to DS103, ....
That works.
Math box to assemble digits.
[ DS105 + ( DS104 * 10 ) + ( DS103 * 100 ) + ( DS102 * 1000 ) ]
Result to DS12.
Reading RS232 once per second. Math box triggered with a transitional contact from the "Read Success" bit.
Strange problem. In an earlier part of the program, three different math boxes set DS1 to 0, 1, or 3. Using it for a pump status icon. Icon intermittently flashing "Overload Tripped". Pump is off. DS1 should be a solid 0.
With Monitor on, I see DS1 intermittently changing from 0 to 115. The scale is currently at 115 pounds. The math box should be putting the result in DS12, but it is intermittently putting it in DS1!
I think I'll try changing the DS1 boxes from Math to Copy. If underlying code is leaving result on the stack too long, Copy should put me in a different routine.
