Thank you for your help!  Your function will accept something like:
lcd_puts(&somestring);
but not
lcd_puts("hello");

Is there a way to change the function so that it accept a string on the fly ("hello") instead of a predefined string?

Sorry for my lack of C skills.

This one works fine for me:


void
lcd_puts(const char * s)
{
LCD_RS = 1;
while(*s)
{
lcd_putch(*s++);
}
}

Subject: [PIC]: LCD String function


Hi everyone,

I have successfully written the lcd_putc() function for a graphic LCD
module. So now, when I want to print a single character on the LCD, all
I need to do is type:

lcd_putc('X'); // to display character 'X'

I want to write another lcd_puts() function (which uses lcd_putc()
function) to send a _string_ to the LCD, but I don't know how to do it.
I would like to write:

lcd_puts("hello world"); // prints "hello world" on the LCD

I am currently using C18 compiler with 18F452 micro.

Please help. Thank you in advance!
Thomas
