Bit rusty myself on some, but there are several options, some static, some dynamic. How you retrieve them from memory depends on how you choose to store them For exmple data "123456" ;stores 2 numbers per word data 'A','B','C' ;stores letter + 00 per word (2 letters / word on 18F) data 0x41,0x42,0x43 ;stores letter + 00 per word (ditto) dt "ABCDEF" ;creates retlws de to store in EEPROM at programming time org to store text in Flash at programming time #define text "abcdef" etc etc etc What exactly is the source of these strings ? -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
