picbasic string compare

PICBasic doesn't provide string handling capabilities, strings can only be used with some commands.
But you can :
- create variable arrays
- use the directive #DEFINE (inline asm)

string picbasic

If I use

a var byte[20]

Can I put a string in a variable on 1 step ?

example a="derftgyhuju" ? I think no
Can I do it ?

I don't know #DEFINE directive

can you write me example ?
Thanks

picbasic string arrays

hi
your example

a var byte[20]
a="derftgyhuju"

is not permitted with PbP
other compilers like MBasic pro allow this :?

you can use the #define directive only in inline asm, its a little more complicated

but if you use string array in built-in functions that get strings like serin you can use the PbP 'STR' modifier
