Thanks, I did not know about this before, but now it is inserted in my code and works fine. :-) So now I can just specify the pattern of data to be scanned using the y, m, h, n and s letters. But I am adding 20 on front of the telegram value because that uses only a 2-digit year and I had problems on my new RPiZero until I added the two yy in front of the pattern making it a 4-char year and the 20 in front of the telegram. Then all works fine. -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org https://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
