Re: serial raw write problem with multidigit decimal and strings (bits bytes pack)

I know nothing about basic, but if it sounds like you're talking about bytes and bits, so you should probably see pack, perlpacktut

I imagine you might need print USB pack 'c', 150

pack looks like a good start, i'll experiment with it a bit :) `pack 'i' 150` works as expected submits 150, `pack 'c' 150` produces warning "Character in 'c' format wrapped in pack" and submits garbage, 150 is not a char i would guess :) i'll test some more complex things and will come back with the results. kind regards alex UPDATE pack seems to work in some cases, but also produces funny results in other cases. As it seems,it depends on the function it is used on, will further experiment with it.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
