Storing a $tring in EEPROM

[keejay]

Hi there,

I have a $tring that I need to save into EEPROM on a PIC. How would one go about doing this? The EEPROM 8 bit and the string is 20 charaters long. I know how to do this for long numbers, but not quite sure what format to store the string in EEPROM.

Hello,

A string is basically just an array of bytes with a null byte at the end to signify the end of data.

Here is an example to read and write strings to the EE memory to get you started.

Thanks Benji,

I'll give that a go.

Hi,

I was wondering what the best way was to store a string variable of approx 10 characters in the PIC onboard EEPROM? Any ideas?

Thanks very much, I must have missed that somehow.
