PicoC string compare

[Viktor Granbom]

Hi, can anyone help me with some simple string comparison in PicoC?

I have a elextrolux pure i9 robot cleaner that can send it's status to loxone through a virtual text input. I need to compare these text strings and convert them to a number so i can turn off my motion sensors when the robot is running.

if (strcmp(mystring, "matchstring") == 0)

{

    // mystring has a value of "matchstring" if you get here... 

    //     strcmp returns 0 on a match, and -1/+1 depending on ordering of not matching strings

Thank you!

Finally got this simple script working:

#define BUFF_SIZE 256

char szBuffer[BUFF_SIZE];

while(1)

{

szBuffer = getinputtext(0);

if (strcmp(szBuffer, "Sleeping") == 0)

{

setoutput(0, 1);

}

if (strcmp(szBuffer, "PausedCleaning") == 0)

{

setoutput(0, 2);

}

if (strcmp(szBuffer, "Cleaning") == 0)

{

setoutput(0, 3);

}

if (strcmp(szBuffer, "Return") == 0)

{

setoutput(0, 4);

}

if (strcmp(szBuffer, "Charging") == 0)

{

setoutput(0, 5);

}

sleep(1000);

}

Now it doesn't set of the alarm all the time:)

This is probably a bit late for you, however in the most recent Config version (10.2.3.26), the capability to do string comparisons is now available. It will use slightly less Miniserver resources using a Status Block versus a Program Block.

Thank you, change my program to this now. Much easier and more fail-safe than me programming in picoC!
