SERIN from a large string

[earltyso]

You placed a space after depth, is this necessary?
As are spaces in a string considered characters?
if so....
What if the space between depth and the MSF changes depending on depth?
Also, I think there may be some space between DEPTH and the left screen on my hypterminal....this space changed depending on when I disconnected and reconnected the terminal to the black box.

You could still wait for "DEPTH" and receive an array of x character... then you just need to parse your character one by one. If one in the list is not a decimal number, you just remove it.

And yes, space is a character, i've never tried with space before DEC, in theory it has to work, but for sure, the decimal point will cause some problem using DEC modifier.

Steve,
You were totally right!
I was using 84, instead of 16468, after my pin,
that's what was hanging up my program.
Now everything is working great!
