KBHIT PROBLEM

[Dude]

I have this code for my RS-232 receiver. My transmitter program sends
( A,10| ) with no braket but when I use kbhit I receive only ( A, ). If I remove ( if kbhit()==1 ) I receive ( A,10| ). Can anyone help finding out why there is only ( A, ) in the buffer when I use kbhit?

#use rs232(baud=9600,parity=N,xmit=PIN_C6,rcv=PIN_C7,bits=8)

if(kbhit()==1)
{
for(i=0;Lecture[i-1]!='|';i++)
{
Lecture = getc();
}
Lecture[i]='\0';
lcd_gotoxy(21,1);
printf(LCD_PUTC,"%s",Lecture);
}


Thanks.

The kbhit() function returns the following ...

Though true, that is not the problem. Once he is 'inside' the fetch loop, he stays there till the required character is detected for the end of string, and getc, will wait for each character in turn.
As I have posted to another thread, the problem is probably that the test fails on the first 'for' loop, when testing Lecture[0-1], which is outside the array, and could return anything. The addition of kbhit, probably results in some of the RAM containing different values, and 'shows up' this logic fault.
