code for hello + world

topherslater

I am working with the Ps2 controller object and i need both blocks of data PSX_Data1 and PSX_Data2. I need to join these 2 chunks of data together into one 32 bit binary chunk to send over xbee.
i am new to C, any advice world be greatly appreciated.

in short i need:


long Hello
long World

Pub | Block-0-Data
join "Hello" + "World" into "Block-O-Data"
return

Completely untested, but perhaps what you are looking for:

VAR
  byte  helloBuffer[noparse][[/noparse]20]
        
PUB begin

  bytemove(@helloBuffer, string("Hello "), 7)          'Put "Hello " into helloBuffer (including the terminating \0 is 7 bytes)
  strAppend(@helloBuffer, string("World"))             'Append "World" to sring in the helloBuffer
                                                       'helloBuffer now contains "Hello World\0"
  repeat  'forever                                     'End of story

PRI strAppend(strBuffer, strTail) | sizeBuff, sizeTail
   sizeBuff := strsize(strBuffer)
   sizeTail := strsize(strTail)
   bytemove(strBuffer+sizeBuff, strTail, sizeTail)

How do you want to join them? The "containers" Hello and World are both 32-bit and the result container Block-0-Data is also 32-bits. What parts of which values do you want to put into Block-0-Data and how do you want them arranged?

What ps2 controller data do you want to send?

@w8an:

In your example, willl not the final result be ""Hello \0World\0"?

I'm still learning, so I might be wrong...

The "W" in World should overwrite the "\0" at the end of "Hello ", but it looks like the command should be

bytemove(strBuffer+sizeBuff, strTail, sizeTail+1)

to get the termination character from "World\0"

Of course my disclaimer protects me from any errors [noparse]:)[/noparse]
