    Hi Everyone!

    I/o formatters are available for the SERIN/OUT, I2, OW, and LCD.

    Are they available where else?

    I have decimal variables that I wish to convert to strings in
    memory. Is there a way to do it?

    Could use my LCD, but don't want the code dependent on it. Used to
    do that, but then my code would fail if the LCD wasn't functioning.
    I know that may sound odd, but those wire connections on the LCDs are
    fragile. They have been solid since I resoldered them all.

    Thanks,
    Frank

    Sid -

    I don't believe SHIFTIN and SHIFTOUT support formatters, but I may be wrong.

    You should look into the DIG operator in the manual or HELP.

    X VAR Word
    SOUP VAR Byte(5)
    I VAR Nib

    X=54321

    FOR I=0 to 4 ' ascii digits to memory array
    SOUP(I)=X DIG I + 48
    NEXT

    FOR I= 4 to 0 ' show ascii memory array
    DEBUG SOUP(I)
    NEXT
    END


    The only other one that supports format modifiers is DEBUG, which is
    really just a special case of SERIN/OUT.

    Thanks Tracy! Already using DIG. That is probably what I will have
    to stick to.

    Frank

    BTW,
    Am using your stack example. My project now spans all eight
    programming banks. I bounce all over the banks with ease!

    Yes. I know you have another preference. Just saying thanks. It
    really helped my project.

    Why? Let's say you have the value 123. That takes just one byte of
    storage. If you convert it to a string ("123") you are now consuming
    two extra bytes. The only [noparse][[/noparse]useful] thing you can do with the string is
    display it; and since you can do that on-the-fly, why not?

    Hi Everyone!

    I/o formatters are available for the SERIN/OUT, I2, OW, and LCD.

    Are they available where else?

    I have decimal variables that I wish to convert to strings in
    memory. Is there a way to do it?

    Could use my LCD, but don't want the code dependent on it. Used to
    do that, but then my code would fail if the LCD wasn't functioning.
    I know that may sound odd, but those wire connections on the LCDs are
    fragile. They have been solid since I resoldered them all.

    Thanks,
    Frank
