String Concatenation? (pt II)

Archiver

For that matter, how do you assign a string to an array? Something
like this:

A var byte(7)
A="NITWIT"

doesn't work. Several other guesses involving \'s, $'s and ()'s
didn't work either...

Any thoughts?

Thanx.

There are no string variables in PBASIC. You can create an array, but
you'll need to load it one character at a time. You can, however, send
it out using the STR modifier in SEROUT.

name VAR Byte(7)

Setup:
name(0) = "N"
name(1) = "I"
name(2) = "T"
name(3) = "W"
name(4) = "I"
name(5) = "T"

Main:
SEROUT pin, baud, [noparse][[/noparse]STR name\6]
END

It's sometimes convenient to store the names as DATA, and read them
into the variable array:

nama1 DATA "NITWIT".0
name2 DATA "Homer",0
name VAR Byte(7)
idx VAR byte

idx=name2 ' which name

get_Name: ' can be subroutine
DO
READ idx, name(idx)
idx=idx+1
LOOP UNTIL name(idx)=0

SEROUT pin, baud, [noparse][[/noparse]STR name]
END
