fprint quotes question
PostPosted: Fri Aug 22, 2008 11:27 am     Reply with quote
I want to send out a string over the serial port enclosed in quotes.

Using printf(""test""); wont work as the compiler complains about the double quotes.

Any ideas?

thanks!

This is really a Google question. Look at printf escape sequences.

That won't work. puts() is defined in this CCS file:
Quote:
c:\program files\picc\drivers\stdio.h

It's defined as using printf, which he has already found to not compile.
Code:
#define puts(s) {printf(s); putchar(13); putchar(10);}

The solution is in the link I posted.
