Invalid literal for int/float

[SBL_MC]

Can anyone help me get around this? Thanks.

Fail:

Works, same type and value?

when you do the tag read, are you sure its “134” and not "134 " (with a space)?

[Kevin.Herron]

Yeah, it might be interesting to print the len(raw) you get in the version that fails.

or use

print repr(raw)

[SBL_MC]

There is obviously some unwanted characters in the string. Is is possible to filter it out?

[Kevin.Herron]

Is it always going to have a x02 prefix and x03 suffix?

[SBL_MC]

Yes, its STX and ETX in the message.

Solved:
raw = system.tag.read("[EtikettTag]SICK/2112/Message").value
raw = raw.strip()
raw = raw[1:]
raw = raw[:-1]

@Kevin.Herron

If this is true you can use

raw.strip('\x02\x03')

Else you probably will want to use a regex pattern

import re
raw = re.sub("[^0-9]",'',raw)

[Kevin.Herron]

raw[1:-1] would work too.

Thanks all!
