Object identification code decoding schemes via regular expressions

A computing system comprising:

• at least one hardware processor;
• at least one memory coupled to the at least one hardware processor;
• a stored internal representation of an object identification code decoding scheme definition, wherein the object identification code decoding scheme definition comprises a plurality of regular expression, field name pairs that map regular expressions to respective field names;
• an object identification code parser configured to accept an object identification code input string and the object identification code decoding scheme definition as input, wherein the object identification code parser is configured to parse the object identification code input string according to the object identification code decoding scheme definition as specified in the regular expression, field name pairs, wherein the object identification code parser is configured to output field name, value pairs based on regular expression pattern matches found in the object identification code input string.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a computing system, cause the computing system to perform operations comprising:

• receiving a barcode input string representing a barcode scanned by a barcode scanner;
• repeatedly applying a barcode decoding scheme definition against the barcode input string, wherein the repeatedly applying identifies global field names and field values in the barcode input string based on regular expressions in the barcode decoding scheme definition;
• and
• outputting the global field names and field values;
• wherein the barcode decoding scheme definition comprises configuration information mapping the regular expressions to respective global field names;
• and
• wherein the barcode decoding scheme definition is configurable via editing non-programming-code text representing the barcode decoding scheme definition.
