PICBasic Coding Help

[skimask]

You know what I'm going to say....

Mech Student...Two weeks...Final Project...No info...Not even an attempt, a 'whats wrong with this code'...

>>First of all I would like to apologize because I believe my inquiry has nothing to do with the thread subject and considering these are some of the most current postings then I thought I might actually get a response by using this forum. If there is a better place to post then please direct me there.<<

www.google.com is a decent start...

Amazing isn't it!!! Right off the top of my head! WOW! Everything should be so easy! I've just outdone myself again! I think I'm going to give myself a 'good game', complete with a squeeze!

What is the 'DIM' command and 'EDATA' command used to prompt in PICBasic? I believe that 'EDATA' is used to save the password for your system, but I am still unsure about 'DIM'. If 'EDATA' is used to store the correct password, what would be the command used to compare the password entered by the user to the stored password? Would you just assign a variable name and compare it using a PICBasic function? Thank you for any help.

Are you using PicBASIC or PicBASIC Pro ?

You have actually posted in the MELabs PicBasic Pro section, and looking at the manual (a good place to start http://www.melabs.com/resources/pbpmanual/ ) I cant see those commands listed.

Thanks Malc-c. I will try searching for it on there. I am not sure which version of PICBasic we are using. This is for a lab in one of my classes and the only time we can access the program is during the 1-hour period the lab session is held on Monday Wendesday and Friday. Thank you for your help.

My gut feeling is that you're on the wrong forum.

It looks like those statements are found in the Proton PIC BASIC and not MELabs PicBASIC.

Have a look at their manual http://www.compile-it.com/protonds/p..._userguide.pdf

It contains the DIM and EDATA statements you were on about

Neither PICBasic or PICBasic Pro uses EDATA.

However, always willing to help...

Q. What would be the command used to compare the password entered by the user to the stored password?
