Lookup Table - help needed

computer guy

Hi there,


I want to read 2 strings from a text file and store them in a form of lookup table.
I can already read the strings in but need help with the lookup table.


e.g

Text file:

Temp, Foo
Hello, Temp2

lookup:

v1 := lookup("Temp")
print(v1)

Gives output:

Foo

Thank you

Hello cg,

you have to reserve memory for the strings in RAM.

VAR
  byte ByteArrayStr1[noparse][[/noparse]40]
  byte ByteArrayStr2[noparse][[/noparse]40]

You can do this definining a byte-array or defining an "empty string"
= memory filled up with zeros

DAT
  Str1 byte 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,00,0,0
  Str2 byte 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,00,0,0

then you have to store the string bytewise into the array or the DAT-memorysection

"printing" strings (with FullDuplexSerial, TV_text etc.) works via a pointer which contains the memoryadress of the RAM where the string begins and has to be ALWAYS terminated with a zero

best regards

Thank you Stefan.

I think I have enough information to complete the project now.
The information I needed was right under my nose.
Thank you for pointing it out.
