Hi,
I want to detect the incoming string with following message......

"01,F0,F1" as a start of message flag....

i am storing the incoming data in
static char comm[128];

can any one, guide me, to detect the start of message ?

TIA,
tom
 

Re: simple C program ?

you can input the message on a character by character basis
using getchar()

and keep a check when is the getchar() first being called
for that case write the printf function with what you wish to display
 

simple C program ?

#include <conio.h>
main()
{
char c=0;
static char comm[128];

c=getche();

if (c==0x01)
{
c=getche();
if (c==0xF0)
{
c=getche();
if (c==0xF1)
{
for (char i=0;i<128;i++)
{
c=getche();
comm=c;
}
}
}
}
}

The SLIP protocol is good for this sort of thing and quite easy to impliment.
Just type slip into google, look for 'Serial Line Internet Protocol'

take input character by character then check it by if statements if mached then print what you want

I would say, depending on the type of machine, XOR can be used. Just XOR the incoming signal with the FLAG and if the result is Zero thats the FLAG.
