Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

HI,

If a MM programme line exceeds the built in editor allowable length, is there a simple way to get the line to "wrap around" to the next line or is the only way to restructure the line.

I thought I had read about line length restrictions somewhere but can't find it.

I want to only use the MM as a stand alone system not connected to the PC. This is part of my PICASM8 assembler programme that is under way. Any suggestions?

============edit===========
I think I might have found what I want in the EDIT section. I'll have a play and see what happens.
My problem occurs in the "expression" line being too long in a conditional loop.Edited by MOBI 2015-02-28

David,

This is essentially my problem in the topic Var Save I posted recently.

As of 4.6B you can increase the columns to 132 which may help

OPTION DISPLAY LINES,CHARS

Cheers,
Anthony.

@Anthony

Thanks for the reply. I had a read of your var save post and agree that your problem is similar to mine.

I have had a play with the edit function and it does what it is supposed to do. I was concerned that in a conditional (do while...loop) I couldn't fit all the required expressions on the one line. Working "blind" is a nuisance but I only have a few lines that go near 80 columns so I can live with it.

I was concerned when I cut and pasted excerpts from my old VB6 assembler programme, saved to SD card and loaded back in the MM. When I "edited" the programme on the MM, the end of some of the lines were awol and I thought They had not been taken into account by the MM editor.

As a PS, does anybody play with 16bit PICs? If so, I'll amend my PIC programmer (PICPROG8) to handle 16 bit chips.
