Arduino GSM Shield

Hello,
I have an Arduino GSM shield. Now, the standard protocol for sending a text message to an external phone from the GSM shield is that you must enter the phone number to send a message to and the message on the serial monitor. I would like to cut all of that out and have it so that it has the phone number and message preloaded into the code. Heres the code I think it matters with:

Serial.print("Enter a mobile number: ");
  char remoteNum[20];  // telephone number to send sms
  readSerial(remoteNum);
  Serial.println(remoteNum);
    
  // sms text
  Serial.print("Now, enter SMS content: ");
  char txtMsg[200];
  readSerial(txtMsg);
  Serial.println("SENDING");
  Serial.println();
  Serial.println("Message:");
  Serial.println(txtMsg);
  
  // send the message
  sms.beginSMS(remoteNum);
  sms.print(txtMsg);
  sms.endSMS(); 
  Serial.println("\nCOMPLETE!\n");

I want to make it so that "remoteNum" and "txtMsg" are predefined.
Thanks, IA-BL

Says who? That isn't standard at all. That's a test procedure.

Certainly. Permission is granted.

Did you have a question?

What happened when you tried it?

Did you have a question?

My question was that how would I pre-define "remoteNum" and "txtMsg"?

My question was that how would I pre-define "remoteNum" and "txtMsg"?

char *remoteNum = "thePhoneNumberGoesHere";
char *txtMsg = "Some text message data goes here";

PaulS, where would I put that code?

In your sketch.

In your sketch.

Where in my sketch like before setup or in the loop

Since you've only posted a snippet, all I can say is yes.
