Robert,

I don't use assembly ( it makes me think too much <g> ). To me, there are
two approaches, either terminate your buffer with a zero ( as C does for
you, you could use some other special char but I think 0 is the most often
used approach ), or use another global variable to keep a count of how many
chars are in your buffer.

Regarding incrementing your pointer, I think in the PIC you would use the
indirect addressing register to traverse through your buffer.

Subject:        Counting up adress,

 << File: ATT00001.htm >> Knowing that this is a piclist, i excuse for the
tainting of it with a motorola quiz, but i guess basically it is the same
it is just the compiler and the adresses that differ.

I have succesfully managed a Mototola 6805 to recieve a char via rs232, and
send it on, but what i havent managed to do is to make it keep filling up
the RAM or ACC with chars.

i now have defined char storage as

              ORG  $10      ; RAM variabels
charIN     DS     1         ; The Result is stored in charIN
charOUT  DS     1         ; Temporary storage for the sendbyte

Thus far i have gotten it to store the char in $10, i wanna make it count
up when the stop bit have arrived so that
The next char can be stored in for ex $11, if i solve this the viceversa is
solved, i can get it to send strings of text.
i guess i have to make the sendstring stop somewhere that could be a
predefined char that the text ends with like "0".

I dont know and i havent tried if you could simply "INC ,charIN" i will try
this, but please be so kind as to give me some of your advice on the
matter.

Am i attacking my problem the wrong way?

Please advice

Robert
