Rx problem

[arys]

Hi.
as I know PIC receive 8bit character at Rx. But i want PIC receive string from PC. I'm using getc() function to get string input and it's not work. Is there any function could convert or receive string from PC ?

Built into the language, gets(). In the libraries, in "input.c", get_string().
Now be aware of the 'caveats'. You _must_ have enough space to hold the whole string, _and it's terminating '\0' character_. This is the real 'danger' of gets, in that if you have storage for a 20 character string, and somebody types 21 characters, then the memory buffer will overflow, destroying data. 'get_string', allows you to specify a 'maximum length' to avoid this. There have also been published here, routines to perform a 'timeout' on serial I/O, and the get_string code, can be adapted to use these, to get round the problem of your program being 'hung' waiting for the data to arrive.
