When hit / Expressions

Hi, 

The expressions window is not working consistently for me. When I defined my variable in the 'when hit' print dialog, I was expecting to see the values show in the expressions window. Sometimes it is working for me, others times not, and I can't see the difference. 

For one not working, I have set to print my variable {row0buffer}, which is a character array - char row0buffer [41]; I get this printed in the serial window ... 

VMDPE_2|Arduino
_VMDPE
VMDPE_2|Sports Gangsta
_VMDPE
VMDPE_2|NHL IQ
_VMDPE
VMDPE_2|Wall Street Journal
_VMDPE
VMDPE_2|News Detector
_VMDPE
VMDPE_2|Tom Mitchell
_VMDPE

as it loops through updated buffer values. Nothing in the experessions window. I have a feeling it has something to do with the "VMDPE_2" and "_VMDPE" statements, but I don't know what this means. 

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Brad

Looks like all your strings have trailing \r or \n (new line char)

The debugger will only work with single line strings at the moment

What you see is the debugger packet format. If Visual Micro doesn't find a complete packet in the line then it shows all the data in the serial window otheriwise it extracts what it needs to show the debug display. (In this case it is break point number 2 or the second one you created)
