In my latest program I am having a problem with this code:
Call ConvRStr        ;Converts a decimal string into hex and stores it to BC
ld a,c
ld (curRow),a
Call ConvRStr
ld a,c
ld (curCol),a
ret
ConvRStr converts a string of decimal digits into hex in BC. So "123" would make BC=7Bh. ConvRStr works properly, but the code isn't setting the cursor position correctly. Any ideas why?


EDIT: Okay, never mind. I have no idea why, but I decided to add the code to actually display text and it worked. I am still confused about why it didn't work before, but it works now. My problem is fixed now.

Well, the problem isn't there anymore, but I am still curious about what happened and I did actually want curCol and CurRow, but the penCol and penRow might be fun to play with. Any who, here is what ConvRStr does:
This is used in my BASIC ReCode project to convert real number strings into hex
Inputs:
     HL is the pointer to the real string (or the byte before)
Output:
     (86ECh) has the converted value --This will likely change, but for now it is this
     BC contains the converted value
     HL points to the byte after the string
So when I was making the "Disp " command, I would do something like Disp 1,2,HELLO and it would need to convert that 1 and put it in curCol, convert the 2 and store it it curRow, and then display HELLO. Again, it works now and before, the values were converted correctly, but before I actually added the displaying portion, it wasn't setting the cursor where I wanted it.

I am pretty sure it was because after the ReCode section (so in the BASIC part of the program), I used "Pause Ans" to check where the cursor was.

Okay, thanks! I think that I will post any other problems I run into, here.

Why don't you post them in Recode Thread, just asking :s

Good point... Sounds a little more intelligent
