Best answer:
You may want to just buy a component that will do that for you and interface with it in your application.

They even include example code for your use that would resolve the issue the other answer here raised. They would give you all the code needed to determine what format it’s in.
Not all barcodes are read from paper you know? They could be from stored files or incoming messages (PDFs or similar).

You normally use a barcode reader that feeds you the characters tht the barcode represents (IOW, hardware decoding). The barcode reader appears to the computer as a device that “says” numbers and letters (like a keyboard). (Some barcode formats include alpha characters.)
If you write software to do it, you have to also write software to detect which format is being used.
