Create read fonction that accept string parmater [Suggestion]

[bouba]

Hello David
I have a suggestion for snap7.It would be cool if there is one read fonction that accept String parameter like this:

plcTagRead("string")

string parameter would be :"DB10.DBB0" or "M20.0" or "DB10.BBX100.2" etc...

That's more flexible for doing the polling.

It's interesting,
maybe in a next release..

I'm already using a similar code in my programs (I translate to you in C#):

private int ReadTagByName(string Tag, byte[] Buffer)
{
int Area, DBNumber, Start, Amount, WordLen;

    /*
     *  Here parse the string and extract Area, DBNumber etc.. from it
     * 
     * */

    return Client.ReadArea(Area, DBNumber, Start, Amount, WordLen, Buffer);
}
