External EEPROM ReadString/WriteString

[Abhijit]

Hello! Martin
good morning

Thank you for writing back, I will check on your suggestions once I reach in front of computer and keep you posted.

NOTE: Reding and Writing strings within internal EEPROM is easy and straight forward but the same macro is not available when it comes to using external macro, so this big exercise.

Thank you.

To read from external eeprom is still okay:

Need to read to a /0 character.

Using text, pos, c and i (index) ideally all locals:

Code: Select all

.i = 0
.pos = address  to read
loop
     .c = ReadByte(.pos + .i)
     .text[.i] = .c
     .i = .i + 1
 until .c = 0

It should have a check on max length as well - and probably be moved to a separate macro (taking pos and max length as parameters and return a string)
