Examples that contain only C strings, not Strings? #295
Description
Not an 'issue', sorry, but I need advice on an embarrasingly basic aspect: which if any of the Examples include Strings? I've been trouble-shooting erratic behaviour for days of the sort I gather is often down to the use of Strings. My current project (which includes five other libraries) has this function, derived partly from ds3231.ino and other extracts:
`void updateRTC() // Use RTC to get date & time
{
DateTime now = rtc.now();
//buffer can be defined using following combinations:
//---------------------------------------------------
//hh - the hour with a leading zero (00 to 23)
//mm - the minute with a leading zero (00 to 59)
//ss - the whole second with a leading zero where applicable (00 to 59)
//YYYY - the year as four digit number
//YY - the year as two digit number (00-99)
//MM - the month as number with a leading zero (01-12)
//MMM - the abbreviated English month name ('Jan' to 'Dec')
//DD - the day as number with a leading zero (01 to 31)
//DDD - the abbreviated English day name ('Mon' to 'Sun')
Day = now.day();
Month = now.month();
Year = now.year();
Secs = now.second();
Hours = now.hour();
Minutes = now.minute();
dofweek = daysOfTheWeek[now.dayOfTheWeek()];
// Calculate the current day of year, doy
doy = dayOfYear(Day, Month, Year);
constructPaddedRTCstrings();
// Serial.print(F("From upDateRTC: doy = "));
// Serial.println(doy);
//
myDate = ""; // Reset
myTime = ""; // Reset
} // End updateRTC
`
Which of these are Strings not strings?
If any are Strings, I want to rewrite that function (and many others0 with strings. Which Examples should I focus on for that please?
