Thread: how can i read data from com port

dear all,
i want to read the data from the com port,i am a beginner so give brief idea about the com port reading and what book i have to read

Thanks in advance

Don't double post. If it was an accident it's fine, but please make sure you have read the rules to realize that this not only is against them, but usually makes people mad. Any books that involve the com port on www.thinkgeek.com would be at least decent ones, maybe you will have some success there.

Check out MSDN.

If your compiler supports inport or inp, then you can use them with 0x2F8 for COM2 or COM4, else 0x3F8 for COM1 or COM3.
