Accessing Ports
Hi all. Here is my problem. I am trying to write a program that recieves text from a serial port (Comm 1 or Comm 2) and write them to a text file.
The trouble I'm running into is accessing the serial port itself. I looked up the comm ports and found there port ranges. Each has a range of 8 ports.
Anyone know which port the data is recieved and on which port the data is sent?
Once I can interface the ports I can easily send the data to the file.
Thanks for your time.

You can open a serial port for reading and writing with the CreateFile() API function.
Wave upon wave of demented avengers march cheerfully out of obscurity unto the dream.
Thanks for the help. I'm not fimilar with CreateFile(). What would the syntax be?
Thanks

That's a windows API function isn't it?
Thantos is using the oldest of the old DOS compiler
I think it's called bioscom in bios.h - well it is here in DJGPP, but
you might have to look around.
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
Thanks Salem.
I noticed you refered to my compiler as the oldest of old. I guess I'd have to agree with that. I got it from my uncle about 10 years ago and he had it awhile. Do you know of a good C compiler that is doesn't cost a whole lot?
