Do-More Strings from Directsoft

[JeffS]

Is there a better way to handle pulling strings off a remote Directsoft PLC than using SWAPB and STRPUTB?

[franji1]

No, since a DL PLC does not have a concept of "strings".  It's more of an assembly language machine, where the character BYTEs are stored in V memory.

Hence, SWAPB and STRPUTB can do what you need.  There is no single instruction to read a "string" from a DL PLC (they may or may not be BYTE swapped in the DL PLC, since this is a standard issue in most 16 bit WORD based computers).

Thanks for the confirmation.
