That's what comes from rushing things.
The old method didn't have a 'close' button so I didn't have code to handle it.
The new method has the close button but I forgot to do the code to handle it.

Try again:

A slight change to the syntax selection window.
It wasn't showing the last couple of choices with some versions of Windows.

This may be the wrong place for this question. I'm trying to define a long string--a dozen string array elements 250 bytes long, like

A(1) = " (long string here)"
A(2) = " (another long string here)"

When I download the file with MMEdit, it completes successfully, but I get "Error: Line is too long"

I'm guessing this is an MMBasic issue, not an MMEdit issue. What is the maximum allowed line length? Is there a better way to do this kind of thing?

MMEdit doesn't care but MMBasic does.
From the micromite manual:
"Maximum length of a command line is 255 characters."

If it's only a few lines, you could build up the string in stages
A(2) = " (first part of a long string)"
A(2) = A(2)+" (second part of a long string)"

If you want to edit the program using the built-in editor, long lines will be an issue.

Thank you, Jim. I had built these lines using a program, and made the string size 250 characters (breaking up a 3k html file). I guess the variable name, array element definition, and assignment made the line too long. It's a trivial matter for me to change the program to put out 240-character strings.

On the micromite, I will rebuild the html file with concatenation, but using the SAddStr long string routine.

TassyJim said The XMODEM commands on the uM+ don't currently support transferring files, only the program in memory.
So, only the eXtreme at this time.

So just further to this Jim, I can do this:-

Load this code to the MM+

Quote OPEN "testlog.txt" FOR RANDOM AS #1
FOR i = 1 To LOF(#1)
SEEK #1, i
PRINT INPUT$(1, #1);
NEXT i
CLOSE #1

Start a Capture file in the MMedit terminal.
Run the code above.
Stop the Capture file.

Is it possible to run this as a Macro?

Or alternatively, could MMedit handle the entire process, dependant on a small BAS file existing on the SD card.

IE this sequence:-

GetLog "TestLog.exe"

1. Stop the main code running.
2. Load & Run "SendLog.bas" from the SD card.
3. Send SendLog the filename to transfer.
4. Open a Capture file with the above filename.
5. Wait for the output from SendLog.bas to finish.
6. Close the Capture file.

I know it sounds like a giant Bandaid, but it could be a handy way of retrieving small log files from Micromites without removing the card.

Any other alternate or existing ideas would be appreciated.
I'm sure others have various ways of retrieving log files.

With all of my MM's on Wifi with ESP-Link, physically visiting a device to retrieve data seems a bit primitive.

Cheers

Phil.

To retrieve data while your program is running, take a look at the program I posted last week "Taming the ACS712"
http://www.thebackshed.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9545&PN=2

In it, by sending $9LLxx, I can retrieve the last xx records
sending $9LYxx, I retrieve the last xx records from yesterday and $9LW gets the last 8 days of daily summary.

The $9 is the address of the module I want to respond, LL for 'List Last' etc

I am using arrays to store the data but a file would work just as well.

I do have some of the commands saved as macros but eventually I will write a proper program to interrogate the 'mites. IT will be specific to my requirements so not much use to others.

I did consider writing an XMODEM library function but decided it not worth the effort.
