[SOLVED] Reading a scanning CC - Can't figure out what data its returning

[redbrad0]

I have been using my Credit Card swipe by having it insert a tab after each field and now have reason to build into my application to support multiple types of Credit Card Swipes. I went to the new customers location and swipe my own credit card and here is what it returned (of course I hid the important information).

 

%Bxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx^LastName/FirstName^EMey1010000000578000000?{enter}

 

The values for the above that were replaced are as follows....

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx = Credit Card #

LastName = Last Name on Card

FirstName = First Name on Card

EM = Exp Month of CC

ey = Exp Year of CC

 

My problem is that I can not figure out what some of this text is. Does anyone have any ideas? Its a Visa Bank Card and none of the numbers are my security code.

 

%B = I am guessing this is just the start of the Credit Card Swipe

1010000000578000000?{enter} = I have no idea what any of these numbers are and guessing the ?{enter}  is to terminate the swiping

I don't know anything about this but I may be that your security number is returned hashed for, well, security reasons.

Security code is 511 and I do not see any reason why they would hash the security code as anyone can grab it off the card.

may I ask what info you actually need for completing this credit card transaction?

Again, I have no clue what this stuff is. Anyways, by me replying and your replying, this subject stays towards the top till someone with experience reads it.
