I don't really understand your question, but this may help.

getc() and putc() normally only handle one byte, or character at a time. An odd addition to standard C in CCS is that if you give putc() a multi-byte argument the compiler calls putc() once for each byte. This can not work with getc() as the compiler has no way to know how many bytes are out there.

Maybe you should use string functions instead of byte (character) functions?

Look at the get_string() function, to get a string. It's in this CCS file:

try printf instead of putc.
ex:

int i;

for(i=0; i<=4; i++)


printf("%d",c[i]);
