Convert a word variable to decimal

Hi,
I searched the forums and haven't found the answer. I came across a nice thread where Melanie explains how to preset a value to the EEPROM and later read it back. I need something slightly different:

1. ask user for a 4-digit decimal number (WORD variable)
2. store it to EEPROM using WRITE
3. on next power up READ the number into a WORD variable as a decimal number

I can do number 1 & 2.

But when it comes to READing the stored password I don't know how to convert it from the 2 hex bytes back to a 4-digit decimal number (stored in a WORD)

Code:

---

myVar VAR WORD
READ 0, myVar.BYTE0
READ 1, myVar.BYTE1

---

But how do I get a decimal number from that is beyond me.

Thanks,
Tom

Try this...

MyVar var WORD

To save the word into two consecutive byte addresses (0 and 1) in EEPROM...

WRITE 0,MyWord.HighByte
WRITE 1,MyWord.LowByte

on power-up (or whenever) when you need to read back, just do the opposite...

READ 0,MyWord.HighByte
READ 1,MyWord.LowByte
