Hello Emmanuel,

I am sorry but at the moment I do not have any "number or nothing" matching.

But there is still hope: Write your own format converter!
Start with a copy of StdLongConverter from StreamFormatConverter.cc, modify it to set value to 0 on failure and return 0. Then register it with any unused conversion character. In parse() don't use info.append(fmt.conv), use info.append('d') instead.


You are not the first one with such a problem.
Maybe I should extend the syntax to something like %?d to return 0 (and succeed) if nothing can be read. Let me see if I can do that quickly.

I am using stream.
I have a serial device whose query/reply follow thisi pattern:

out "get value"
in  "F: W: IK:"
If values are 0

If values are not 0, I have
out "get value"
in  "F: 12 W: IK:" <- value is 12

Is there a way to make this value conditional in stream?
With the current protocol, I have a mismatch and my record becomes invalid
(and stop processing).

1/ How can I make the protocol work?
2/ Assuming that there is a mismatch, how can I restore my record to "valid" status?

thanks,
