The code cannot work:
Code:
Config Lcdpin = Pin , Db4 = Porta.4 , Db5 = Porta.5 , Db6 = Porta.6 , Db7 = Porta.7 , E = Portc.7 , Rs = Portc.6
Config Lcd = 16 * 2  
Initlcd
Cls
Lcd "1.        2.  "
End


Complie, and the result is:

via Bascom 2.0.5.0: 1.2.
via Bascom 2.0.3.0: 1. 2.

If I change 1. to 1; -> everything is OK. The problem is a dot.

Any advice?

Doh! I've seen similar problems with 2.0.5.0!

If I print "This. And that." to serial port, the space after dot disappears. I thought it was just my eyes, but the case is, space is not printed at all.

This is indeed a bug. I haven't had a time to find out is this a bug in print/lcd statement, or is Bascom losing data inside constant when a code is compiled.

this is indeed a bug which i introduced when i rewrote some code.
i will make a fix for this asap.
the problem is with all constant strings that use a dot. they are wrong stored/converted.

This bug is very serious for us as we are going to send a customer 40 mcu's today or tomorrow. When do you thing an updated bascom will be released or quick fix in library?

if you have an SLA you can write to support to get a fix, otherwise you need to wait till the end of the week(end).

We didn't have the support, but bought it and 5 min later the fix was in the SLA archive. Extreamly good support, thank you!

I started to getting strange bugs if i used the "." char. Wasted some time and not found any bugs in code, so, this is a 2.0.5.0 problem...
At least, good to know! I have to read the forum most often Smile

Please fix this Smile

If space doesn't matter that could be used:

Edit: After posting this i saw that you use char-lcd - the code is for graphic lcd...
