Bytemove question

Don M

Lets say I have a byte buffer named Work_Buffer that has 80 bytes in it.

If I want to move just a portion (9 bytes) of the buffer starting at byte 64 into another buffer named Buffer2 is this a valid command?

Yes.

I'm not sure why, but I tend to use "@Work_Buffer + 64" rather than "@Work_Buffer[64]" but I'm almost positive your way will also work (and might even be more correct).

Duane- Thanks. I got it to work.

@Work_Buffer[64] is the same as @Work_Buffer + 64*(1/2/4 for byte/word/long). If it's an array of some type but you want to treat it as an array of different size elements, you can use @Work_Buffer.byte[64] or @Work_Buffer.word[64] or @Work_Buffer.long[64] to treat it as a byte or word or long array, respectively. If it's a byte array and you want to treat it as such, what Duane Degn said will work fine.
