The Softek Barcode Reader SDK extracts barcode information from images and bitmaps.

SaveResults 

Overview

SaveResults(outputFile)

SaveResults saves the current set of results to an XML or CSV file.

The outputFile format is determined by the file extension (csv or xml).

The CSV fields are as follows:

Folder - location of image file
File Name
Count - number of barcodes found in image
Index - Index for this bar code (1,2,3 etc or -1 is no barcode found).
Error - Error number
ID - as specified in an xml input file for image or folder (see ProcessXML )
Value - value of barcode
Type - type of barcode
Hits - hit count for this barcode
Page - page number in image
Direction - ScanDirection mask value for this barcode
TopLeftX - x position for top left
TopLeftY - y position for top left
BottomRightX - x position for bottom right
BottomRightY - y position for bottom right

The XML output format contains the same information as the CSV format, but arranged in the following way:

<xml version='1.0' encoding='iso-8859-1'>
   <SoftekBarcode>
      <Result>
         <Folder>location of image file</Folder>
         <FileName>name of file</FileName>
         <Count>number of barcodes</Count>
         <Error>error number</Error>
         <ID>id as specified in an xml input file for image or folder (see ProcessXML)</ID>
         Repeated for each barcode found in image
         <Barcode>
            <Value>value of barcode</Value>
            <Type>type of barcode</Type>
            <Hits>hit count</Hits>
            <Page>page number</Page>
            <Direction>ScanDirection mask value for this barcode</Direction>
            <TopLeftX>x position for top left</TopLeftX>
            <TopLeftY>y position for top left</TopLeftY>
            <BottomRightX>x position for bottom right</BottomRightX>
            <BottomRightY>y position for bottom right</BottomRightY>
         </Barcode>
      </Result>
   </SoftekBarcode>
</xml>
