problem with string
Posted: Sat Aug 09, 2008 5:12 am

Hi ALL How can I empty the string? for example I define J[40] and with serial communication (RS232) get 40 characters. I want to keep on this loop and I need to make J empty. How can I do that?

Code:

memset(J, 0, 40);

you will need to include string.h to use memset.

You could also make a for loop

Code:

for(x=0;x<40;x++)
{
J[x] = 0;
}

As for your second question, you need to make sure that the variable storing the second number will be of a large enough type. An unsigned 32 bit integer will do the trick. Then just multiply by 100.

First you must define "empty". In C strings are usually terminated with a null (0x00). So if you make the first byte of the string null the string will be empty. If this is a serial buffer with head and tail pointers you can make it empty by setting the two pointers to the same address.
