how to store received values in serial communication ?

[engasm]

hi all
i recieve values in the following form from a device
=123456
i want to store the 3 decimal values after the "=" character
i can't figure out a way to do this
i used this line but it only stores one values and i don't know if it store it as decimal or not, what should the # do to the values ?
the line i used
SERIN RX,T2400,["="],SER1
when i tried to store two values it didn't give me anything !
SERIN RX,T2400,["="],SER1,SER2

can u help me plz
urgent !

Maybe you could post your code and tell us what chip you are using...

PORTC.7 is the RX input
' PORTC.6 is the TX output

Add to the Variable section of your code to let the compiler know the pins you are using
RX VAR PORTC.7
TX VAR PORTC.6

Or
Serout2 POTRC.6,396,["3: ",DEC A0,13,10]
And the same for SERIN2.
Either way, you need to tell the compiler.


Why are you adding

DEFINE SER2_BITS 4 ' Set Serin2 and Serout2 data bits to 4
DEFINE SER2_BITS 5 ' Set Serin2 and Serout2 data bits to 5
DEFINE SER2_BITS 6 ' Set Serin2 and Serout2 data bits to 6
DEFINE SER2_BITS 7 ' Set Serin2 and Serout2 data bits to 7
DEFINE SER2_BITS 8 ' Set Serin2 and Serout2 data bits to 8 (default)
