hp 50g string to list conversion Message #1 Posted by Rich Messeder (US) on 11 Nov 2006, 10:40 a.m. I have decided to try to use the SD card to interface with my Windows computer. I am currently using Conn4x to connect with the hp 49g+ and 50g, but wanted to avoid relying on using the cable. I have menu lists that I can send via Conn4x and they work fine. I create them in an editor and format them so that they are easy for me to read (Unix-style LF, not LF-CR): %%HP: T(3)A(D)F(.); { {"IDN" IDN} {"DET" DET} I was able to create a simple menu this way, copy it to SD card, and copy the file to the hp 50g. I tried to use the STR-> command on the file directly, but to no avail. I then edited the resultant string, removed the %% header and all line feeds. This worked for a simple list. BUT I cannot get my longer lists to run. I suspect it may be because I am using stuff like {"D\->R" D\->R}. I get a syntax error. I looked in the HP 50g manual, and didn't find much on the STR-> command. I also searched the web, and came up empty. What is my solution? Thanks, Rich
