*/
String txtMsg = ""; // a string for incoming text
unsigned int lastStringLength = txtMsg.length(); // previous length of the String
void setup() {
// Open serial communications and wait for port to open:
Serial.begin(9600);
while (!Serial) {
; // wait for serial port to connect. Needed for native USB port only
}
// send an intro:
Serial.println("\n\nString length():");
Serial.println();
}
void loop() {
// add any incoming characters to the String:
while (Serial.available() > 0) {
char inChar = Serial.read();
txtMsg += inChar;
}
// print the message and a notice if it's changed:
if (txtMsg.length() != lastStringLength) {
Serial.println(txtMsg);
Serial.println(txtMsg.length());
// if the String's longer than 140 characters, complain:
if (txtMsg.length() < 140) {
Serial.println("That's a perfectly acceptable text message");
} else {
Serial.println("That's too long for a text message.");
}
// note the length for next time through the loop:
lastStringLength = txtMsg.length();
}
