| For the example data, show us what you expect to see as the output. |

total confusion!
- fgetc() result is char not pointer type
- Received[10] is neither in declared variable space nor loaded with a value
- fprintf(COM2,"%c",new); is not printing new[10] or new[0]
Suggestion: Learn quite a bit about C data types, characters, strings, pointers and string functions |

Fvm has pointed out some of the problems. It is just not correct C. Comments inline:
| Code: |
char* Received;
//received is now a _pointer_ to a char, but as yet points nowhere.
//No memory saved for it to point to, and the initial value is
//indeterminate...
char new[26];
//new is now a pointer to a 26 character memory area.
Received=fgetc(COM1);
//You now write a single received byte into the _pointer_. Garbage.
//_Single byte_.
fprintf(COM2,"%c",Received); // working see all value
//Here the incorrectly stored pointer, will be automatically cast 'back'
//to a character. It'll sort of work, but it is wrong in multiple ways.
memcpy(new,&Received[10],1);
//'Received[10], will be 10 greater than the value received. Could be
//pointing anywhere in memory. You could retrieve anything.
new[10] = 0;
fprintf(COM2,"%c",new); // not working
//fprintf, expects to receive a character. You are giving it the address
//of the first byte of 'new'. Of course it won't work.

You need to get a C primer, and read the section on pointers and arrays, then try some simple exercises on a PC C. Because of the error trapping on this, you will get errors when you try to talk to memory areas you shouldn't which may help you to understand just how wrong everything is.
There is only about one line of the code that is not a glaring error... |
