Access pin using index

[skimask]

That's not nice but it works

This may not be any nicer, and I'm not even sure if it'll work...but...

temp var byte
pin var byte

pin = 0 : temp = porta     'initial pin to zero and save porta to temp
loop: pin = pin + 1 : if (temp.0[pin] <> 0) AND (pin <> 4) then loop
got_pin:    'when you get here, if pin = 5 then porta.0 thru porta.3 <> 0

This seems to be the way to index the pin registers.
In fact before checking the replies on the forum (and your reply) I've tried the tutorial from BRUCE where he is using:
SYMBOL TRIGGERED_PIN = PORTA

Then

IF (TRIGGERED_PIN.0[index] == 0) THEN
...

and it worked fine I'm very happy.

Even I disagree with that statement...(who would've thunk that eh? )

I think he substituted something that you think MIGHT have worked for him with something that DID work for him.
