Hi everybody,
I need to interface a device via Rs232 and send/receive packets to it. They are framed with char's less then 0x20(blank). The packet, apart from framing char's, is full ascii text. I think I cannot handle them using strings: I have to use bytes array and convert them after packet extraction to strings.
Am I right or there is something I miss?
Well, bytes are OK. But I have a visual edit stage(remember it's a text in framed packets). I need to store the result in text files and sometimes the text file could be imported. ASC() and CHR() will do the trick...
