Propblem comparing two strings using rs232
PostPosted: Sat Sep 09, 2017 3:33 am     Reply with quote

Hello, there is a code i wrote to compare a string received using a communication port. The code worked well a few times, and then it stopped working. I do not know what the error is. It actually compiles without an error, but when i run it, the output is always wrong even if both words match.


Code:
#include <main.h>

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#fuses HS
#use rs232(uart1, baud=9600)

char password[] = {"123abc"};
char string_pass[];
char input_str[];

#define BUFFER_SIZE 32
BYTE buffer[BUFFER_SIZE];
BYTE next_in = 0;
BYTE next_out = 0;

#INT_EXT
void  EXT_isr(void)
{
   reset_cpu();
}

#INT_RDA
void  RDA_isr(void)
{
   int t;
   buffer[next_in] = getc();
   t = next_in;
   next_in =(next_in + 1) % BUFFER_SIZE;

   if(next_in == next_out)
      next_in = t;
}
#define bkbhit (next_in!=next_out)
BYTE bgetc()
{
   BYTE c;
   while( ! bkbhit);
   c = buffer[next_out];
   next_out =(next_out + 1) % BUFFER_SIZE;
   return(c);
}

void my_get_string(char* s)
{
   unsigned int8 len;
   char c;
   len = 0;

   do
   {
      c = bgetc();// Call bgetc()
      if((c >= ' ')&&(c <= '~'))
      {
         s[len++] = c;
         putc(c);
         
      }
   }
   while(c != 13);
   s[len] = 0;
}

void toggle_function()
{
   int i;
   i=0;
   while(i<20){
      output_high(led1);
      delay_ms(500);
      output_low(led1);
      delay_ms(500);
      i++;
   }
}

void compare_function(char *string)
{
   if(strcmp(string,password) == 0)
   {
      printf("\n Correct Keyword ! \n ");
      toggle_function();
      break;
   }

   else
   {
      printf("\n ERROR\n");
      break;
   }
}

void main()
{
   clear_interrupt(INT_EXT);
   enable_interrupts(INT_EXT);
   
   clear_interrupt(INT_RDA);
   enable_interrupts(INT_RDA);
   enable_interrupts(GLOBAL);

   while(TRUE)
   {
      printf("Type string here: ");
      my_get_string(input_str);
      strcpy(string_pass,input_str);
      compare_function(string_pass);
   }

}

Give these two arrays a size. Without the size, you don't have arrays.
You just have a pointers, and they will overwrite other RAM values
if you write to the "array".
Give each array a useful size, big enough so that it will hold the entire
expected string, and maybe some more bytes as a precaution.
Make sure you make the arrays big enough to have the 0x00 byte
that marks the end of every string.
