Extracting/Decoding name from USB Credit Card reader

297 Views Asked by At

When I scan a credit card using the USB card reader I get the following output:

%X1234123412341234^B>NURBz>C>P>XY JDAE^1903000000000000000Zs1234123412341234]1903000000000000000Z

I should note that I changed the numbers and letters. When I process this string it is easy to get the credit card number: 1234123412341234 and expiration date: 03/19

However, in the Name field I see: B>NURBz>C>P>XY JDAE

I was expecting to see something like: CardUser/John

How do I decode the Name field so that I get the card users name?

I figured it out.

The problem is that I am not using an English US QWERTY Keyboard layout. When I changed the keyboard to English US everything works fine. The name now comes out as expected.
