Thanks a lot Tamas, Isaac and Joe. I find the solution of strtok with atoi nad atof a good solution, as, on the other side, the one with strtol and strtof. But, at the same time, using sscanf with float and integer and casting the integer results to char is good and easy as well. What I can't tolerate is that we cannot find a solution in decoding char DIRECTLY with sscanf. *Software community...any idea about the solution with sscanf?*=20 Thanks again! -- View this message in context: http://microcontrollers.2385.n7.nabble.com/ss= canf-crashes-trying-to-read-multiple-8-bit-char-numbers-in-a-row-tp184339p1= 84420.html Sent from the MicroControllers - PIC mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --=20 http://www.piclist.com/techref/piclist PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
