Wierd result when inverting an input

[aratti]

Thank you Dave for the suggestion, but no luck it doesn't work either. With "~" I get ascii 46 when portB.0 is false and the same ascii 47 when the portB.0 is True.

Looking into the manual the character for the NOT is "!", I could not find any reference to "~" as a NOT notation.

Cheers

The "tilde" character ~ is a BITWISE NOT. pp35 in the old green book, have misplaced my PBP3 book.

This works:

Bell var portB.6
Report var byte
main:
Report = ~~(Bell + 48) 
debug report
pause 500

goto main

Bell var portB.6
Report var byte
main:
Report = ~~(Bell + 48) 
debug report
pause 500

goto main

Thank you Archangel for your snippet.
I tried with one tilde character ~(Bell + 48) and it does't work. (Just strange characters)
I tried with two tildes, as per your example, and what I get is the original Logic state of the pin. It seems that two tildes are simply ignored.

So, at the moment I have used the IF/THEN/ELSE/ENDIF workaround. Conclusion we cannot invert a pin alias and convert it to ascii using the "!" or the bitwise "~"
