String constants

[arco]

Is it possible to create a string constant of 48 chars, with first char being '#' and remaining 47 chars being NULL chars?
(and what is the easiest way to do so if possible)
I need this to send to a GPRS modem.

This compiled for me for three characters:

const SEND as char[3] = (0x23,"","")

I think 0x23 is an "#" and "" is null. ???

Hi,

You could write something like this :

Code: Select all

const SEND as char[47] = (0x23)

Zeroth array member will be # and the rest the 46 characters will be padded with zeros in order to match declared array size of 47.

Filip.

Thanks,

I'll try that. I thought only the terminating character would be made 0x00, and the rest would be left undefined.
(I mean: Send[0] = 0x23, Send[1] = 0x00, and rest in undefined state...)
