strcat(Dato, Entrada[2]);
But no work fine, can somebody help me, Thanks

You could use the strncat() function to append one character
to the 'Dato' string. Example:

The program below has the following output:

I want to get a string that coming over the RS232 and then take each value, like 234.45, 543.75, ........ I need to take the 234.45 in one variable
Thanks

[PCM programmer]

Use the get_float() function. It will receive a string and convert it to
a floating point value. Example:

Run the program below. Then type in a floating point number, such as
123.45 and then press the Enter key. The program will display the
number that it received. It will be stored in the 'value' variable.

Thanks the problems is that the string is : 234.45, 8163.4, 957.342, 741.96, .........and i want to get every one, example K= 234.45 , M= 8163.4
x= 957.342 ...... Can you help me...

Where do the input strings come from ? Do they come from a GPS ?

[PCM programmer]

You answered yes in a PM, so you need find some sample code written
in CCS, that will parse a NMEA-0183 GPS stream.

Here is one:

Look at the nema.c file.

For your example I can take some part of the string, but i try to convert the string part to float with K = ATOF(Dato) but K is empty.....Thank for all
