Help with arrays & strings

Hi,

I want to know if there is an easy way to do this: The shor version is I need to store string data in an array.. This works:

MsgBuff[0] = "C"
MsgBuff[1] = "A"
MsgBuff[2] = "L"
MsgBuff[3] = "I"
MsgBuff[4] = "B"
MsgBuff[5] = "R"
MsgBuff[6] = "A"
MsgBuff[7] = "T"
MsgBuff[8] = "E"
MsgBuff[9] = " "

But is a pain... Is there anyway to assign the array values all at once? (ie: MesgBuff[]="CALIBRATE "

Previously discussed - if you searched on "strings" example...

You can always preset your strings in internal or external EEPROM and load them from there, or preset them into Program Space (see making Program Space your Playground - search on keyword "Playground").

I guess that will have to go on the "wish list" then... I'll look into that EEPROM idea... I am using a PIC1684A and not much EEPROM space.. In the mean time I decided to just shove everything into a look up table.
