I am having a problem with the search and replace Plugin

I'm having a problem using SANDR.DLL Do I have a LCD Smartie coding problem or maybe a problem with the DLL I don't know as sandr.dll works fine every where else in my coding I want to replace the -1 with a stop block (Like on a VCR) and the 1 with a Record Symbol and the 0 with a play arrow I already made custom characters in LCD Smartie for my VFD (A Noritake 4 X 20 CU20045CPB-W2J HDD44780 Compatible Display) I am using the Search and replace plugin for LCD smartie. I'm very familiar with custom characters as I use the program called "CCE or Custom Character Editor" and I'm also familiar with Search and Replace as I use it in some on my other screens (Winamp, Zoom Player) but for the life of me I can't get it to work with this plugin. It says Custom Character number invalid on the VFD and on the virtual display but I know the character is good as I used the same character in another screen and when I type it directly into the LCD Smartie box I can see the character displayed on the VFD. So what can my problem be ? Thanks

Code: Select all

Here are the codes for the custom characters I used 

Rec $CustomChar(1,0,14,17,17,17,17,14,0)
Play $CustomChar(8,0,8,12,14,12,8,0,0)
Stop $CustomChar(8,0,31,31,31,31,31,0,0)

Here is the documention to the plugin i'm trying to use http://mizook.com/lcd/ and here is my code I typed into smartie

Code: Select all

$dll(sandr.dll,1,$dll(MizookLCD.dll,8,,),C:\Program Files\smartie\plugins\omit3.ini)$Chr(263)

Here is my Search and Replace Code

Something is going wrong when calling a custom character using a 0 or a negative number as variable

Workaround
Make your line:

Code: Select all

$dll(sandr.dll,1,$dll(MizookLCD.dll,8,,),C:\Program Files\smartie\plugins\omit3.ini)

and your ini file:

Code: Select all

[Search1] 
1=-1 
2=0
3=1 
4=st_play
5=st_pause
6=st_stop
7=
8=
9=
10= 
11= 
12= 
13= 
14= 
15= 
16= 
17= 
18= 
19= 
20= 


[Replace1] 
1=st_play
2=st_pause
3=st_stop
4=$Chr(263)$CustomChar(8,0,8,12,14,12,8,0,0) 
5=$Chr(263)$CustomChar(8,0,14,17,17,17,17,14,0) 
6=$Chr(263)$CustomChar(8,0,31,31,31,31,31,0,0)

12=

14= 
15=

Hopefully you will get your custom characters...

Thank you Limbo That code worked just had to rearrange the ini file a little bit (Was Displaying Play arrow where it should have said stop) and now every thing works the way I would like it to Thanks again.
