Code Problem - Strings/ LCD/ internal EEPROM

[jorge]

hi everybody ,
I am using this forum for the last 2 years and i ve always encountered good technical info and fantastic answers with the "search" option...but this time unfortunately no...
So i am posting for some help for me or others that came across with a problem like my own in the future:


I developing a bit confusing program, meteorological station with lots of info, temperature, humidity , etc etc, and everything works ok.
But now i ve to create a way to the user insert the name of the city/country , record it in the internal PIC eeprom and after display it ...with 2 buttons ( right ,left - change a letter & press both it records it in the EEPROM....
The commands itself - accessing the eeprom, write /reading it is a walk in the park with PBP, reading from buttons also , lcd , ok , …but in a “global view” how to with 2 buttons and LCD can i do such a simple task that is a user to record a Country or city name ( and not from a pre-existent table) and after be able do display it directly from the eeprom in the LCD...

Any “wiz kids” over there ;-) ?
Thanks a lot for any help as i am going crazy by the "no Strings available in PBP"

best regards,
JPin

PS: i ve tried array & ASCCI table and lookdown routines , etc ,etc , but always a not working routine so , any hint/advice/code by the pros ( and we always know their names (Melanie, Darrel , etc …) would be amazing for everyone that’s struggling with user defined messages to be stored and retrieved/displayed in the Lcd (Darrel already has great code for predefined messages , but those are pre-stored in the eeprom of the Pi c, with no user directly access/alter)
