Array Question:

[mackrackit]

But where was the "K" coming from???

I do not get a "K".

[mister_e]

loop:
    FOR letters = STRING[0] to STRING[9]
     SEROUT PORTC.6,T9600,["string is ",(LETTERS),13,10]
     PAUSE 500
    NEXT letters
    GOTO loop

I found it's a weird way... and a bit obscure...i would used

loop:
    FOR letters = 0 to 9
     SEROUT PORTC.6,T9600,["string is ",STRING[LETTERS],13,10]
     PAUSE 500
    NEXT letters
    GOTO loop

seems more valuable no?

Well that and the way Jerson pointed out, would for sure be the proper way to go,
but it should still work the way he had it originally as long as characters between string[0]
and string[9] were in order.

If you had values assigned to individual elements like say;

string[0]= "A"
string[1]= "Z"
string[2]= "P"
string[3]= "O"
string[4]= "M"
string[5]= "H"
string[6]= "X"
string[7]= "G"
string[8]= "W"
string[9]= "J"

Then doing it his original way, it wouldn't return the correct values in each element.
It would still print A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J.

Like Dave, I'm kinda curious where that "K" came from?

[mister_e]

That was my point... hidden between the lines Unless a simple FOR To Next without array would have worked.

Edit: seems i missed Jerson's post

Hidden between what lines? I still do not get it.

[mister_e]

Hidden between what lines? I still do not get it.

i don't know.. is "read between the line" a common and known expression worldwide?

FYI, It was between... "seems" and "more valuable"

well not between any line at all... forget it

Time for a beer or twelve i guess. now that i can...

Hi Bruce, Mister_e,Mackracket, . . .
Yeaaaa . . . Kinda weirded me out too, I was using a 16F628A, and yes I forgot to put CMCON=7 in, but I was not using PortA. It very definately went from A - K,though I expected it to stop with "J". Jerson straightened me out, still I do not know why it went to K. PBP ver 2.5
