Strings manipulation

El Paisa

I need help from someone.
I think it is something very simple but I have my head hitting the walls.

I need to convert keyboard characters into strings and concatenate them.
For instance, if I type 1,2,3,4,5 and want to have a string "12345"

Mike Green

OBJ key : "keyboard"
VAR byte buffer[noparse][[/noparse]32]
PUB mainProgram | stopChar
'' Example of call: stopChar := getNumber(@buffer,32)
PUB getNumber(ptr, size) | c
'' This takes a series of digits from the keyboard
'' and returns the first non-digit character received.
'' The characters are returned as a zero-terminated
'' string whose address is supplied in ptr and whose
'' maximum size is supplied in size.
  repeat (c := key.getKey)
    case c
      "0".."9":
        if size > 1
          byte[noparse][[/noparse]ptr++] := c
          size--
      other:
        byte[noparse][[/noparse]ptr] := 0
        return c

Thanks Mike.

I am going to try it.
