Would like to paste and enter a string into PST input window

Don M

Currently I enter 12 characters one at a time as I type them in into memory using this code:

  repeat while bytesread < 12
    tmp := term.Rx
    if ((tmp == 10) OR (tmp ==13) OR (tmp == "*"))
      QUIT
    if ((tmp => ("0")) and (tmp =< ("9"))) OR ((tmp => ("A")) and (tmp =< ("F")))
      byte[@MachID][bytesread] := tmp
      i2c.WriteByte(i2c#BOOTPIN, EE_DEVICE_ADDR, (EE_BASE_ADDR + bytesread), tmp)
      term.tx(tmp)                                    ' For debugging message 
      bytesread++

It works well for 1 character at a time but I would also like to be able to paste a string of 12 characters into the PST input window and press the Return key to have them entered in.

How do I modify my code in order to do this?

Any help or suggestions appreciated.

Thanks.

No code changes required, problem is that PST seems to ignore paste'd content, i.e. while it's displayed in the input window it's not sent down the line.

Ok so I tried using Putty instead. I can do it with Putty.

Thanks for your comment.

I had to add a 50msec pause after the write to eeprom command otherwise it would not store it. But works cool now with Putty.
