To clear bit 3 in Variable1, I find that
If Y = 3 -
The statement:
Variable1.Y = 0 does not compile, while
Variable1.0[Y] = 0
DOES compile - but does it work properly? I don't have any
hardware to test it on tonight. Even if it does work, is there
a better way?
do it this way
if y=3 then
variable.3=0
...
To do it your way, if I had a WORD variable, I would need 16 IF..THENs or 16 CASE statements. There has to be a better way.
Hi Charles. This .0[x] thing is old news but works very well. It's an undocumended feature.
I do not think there is a more compact way than this. Why don't you like it?

It isn't that I don't like it. I just wasn't sure it would work. I thought I remembered the syntax, but when I searched for the technique on the forum for some reason it didn't come up.
Thanks!

I vaguely remembered seeing the solution awhile back, but forgot the details. I do something similar in my own "monitor" program in Code Examples, so I should have known better.
Melanie doesn't seem to answer as many questions as she used to.
Melanie, are you there? Is your lack of posts the result of being disgusted with us, or are you busy?
I vote for 2.
