Help, BYTE ConsoleGetString(char *buffer, BYTE bufferLen)

[cmare]

Hello,

I don't know not much about C++, so here I have an example of code, and I don't now how to call it :( It should return an string from console to microcontroler.

BYTE ConsoleGetString(char *buffer, BYTE bufferLen)
{
BYTE v;
BYTE count;

count = 0;
do
{
if ( bufferLen-- == 0 )
break;

while( !ConsoleIsGetReady() );

v = RCREG;

if ( v == '\r' || v == '\n' )
break;

count++;
*buffer++ = v;
*buffer = '\0';
} while(1);
return count;
}

If you call this function from another function then the first argument will have the string in it.
Before calling the function allocate memory for the variable and send it.

I think he is asking how to call macro ...

[Sreeramu]

Calling the function depend up on the macro if the macro is integer you pass the decimal value to the function ....
