Help With Pointers and Strings
« on: November 15, 2010, 06:49:47 pm »
Hi I was wondering if someone could help me out with this. I am having problems working with strings and Copy to display a certain string depending on what the value is. What am i doing wrong? Sorry if this is kind of n00bish but i just can't figure it out.
Code: [Select]
.CONV
8→A
".01    "→Str1
"1      "
"5      "
"10     "
"25     "
"50     "
"75     "
"100    "
"200    "
"300    "
"400    "
"500    "
"750    "
"1000   "
"5000   "
"10000  "
"25000  "
"50000  "
"75000  "
"100000 "
"200000 "
"300000 "
"400000 "
"500000 "
"750000 "
"1000000"
[0000000000000000]→Str2
Copy(Str1+A,Str2,8)
Output(0,0,Str2)
Pause 5000

Hmmmm that looks like it should work, what type of errors are you getting?

Add another 00 to Str2 and see if it works.

Oh, I see. It's because when you store a string to a pointer, like in your code ".01    "→Str1, Axe actually adds an extra zero after it (because in assembly, that's how the calc knows the string has ended). So change that line to []→Str1:".01    " and it should work.

Also, add an extra zero to Str2 for padding, as SirCmpwn said.

He actually doesn't need to do the first part, storing the extra zero alone should work.  Although his string will start at 9, not 8.

You also need to change the copy function to use a length of 7 or else you will copy one extra character from the next string

Ok thanks guys, i got it working. For some reason I thought that the ending quotation mark counted as an extra byte.
Code: [Select]
.CONV
For(B,0,26)
B*7→A
[]→Str1
".01    "
"1      "
"5      "
"10     "
"25     "
"50     "
"75     "
"100    "
"200    "
"300    "
"400    "
"500    "
"750    "
"1000   "
"5000   "
"10000  "
"25000  "
"50000  "
"75000  "
"100000 "
"200000 "
"300000 "
"400000 "
"500000 "
"750000 "
"1000000"
[000000000000000000]→Str2
ClrHome
Copy(A+Str1,Str2,7)
Output(0,0,Str2)
Pause 500
End

Nope :) And btw if you are using a copy with a length of 7, you can make your Str2 one byte shorter

By the way welcome on the forums. I hope you have fun coding in Axe, for calculators and on the forums. :)
