Good evening!
Are there any advanced function of the serial Arduino?
Looking for a function similar to GNU getline().
Ogogon.
getline uses FILE or stdin, IIRC, so I guess the answer is "no".
Nothing with the level of interactivity that GNU readline has, no.
(To implement it well, you'd need decent terminal support ala curses; at a minimum, you'd have to make some assumptions about the terminal type of the connecting client and hard-code the needed escape sequences to do what you need. Plus, this assumes you're talking about serial; things get more interesting if you're interested in supporting telnet connections via Ethernet/wireless. Hmm. It could be fun to implement a little telnet daemon with rudimentary vt100 support...I wonder if the serial monitor supports VT/ANSI codes?)
it does to a certain extend, here's a test sketch I wrote some time ago
#define VT100_H
// http://ascii-table.com/ansi-escape-sequences-vt-100.php
#define OFF "\033[0m"
#define BOLD "\033[1m"
#define LOWINTENS "\033[2m"
#define UNDERLINE "\033[4m"
#define BLINK "\033[5m"
#define REVERSE "\033[7m"
#define GOTOXY( x,y) "\033[x;yH" // Esc[Line;ColumnH
#define CLS "\033[2J" // Esc[2J Clear entire screen
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop()
{
Serial.print(BOLD);
Serial.println("bold - Hello World");
Serial.print(OFF);
Serial.println("Goodbye");
Serial.print(LOWINTENS);
Serial.println("lowintense - Hello World");
Serial.print(OFF);
Serial.println("Goodbye");
Serial.print(UNDERLINE);
Serial.println("underline - Hello World");
Serial.print(OFF);
Serial.println("Goodbye");
Serial.print(BLINK);
Serial.println("blink - Hello World");
Serial.print(OFF);
Serial.println("Goodbye");
Serial.print(REVERSE);
Serial.println("reverse - Hello World");
Serial.print(OFF);
Serial.println("Goodbye");
Serial.print(GOTOXY(3,3));
Serial.println("gotoxy 3,3 - Hello World");
Serial.print(OFF);
Serial.println("Goodbye");
Serial.print(CLS);
Serial.println("Hello World");
Serial.print(OFF);
Serial.println("Goodbye");
while(1);
}

These are sent from the terminal back to the computer when the particular key is pressed.
Note that the numeric keypad keys send different codes in numeric mode than in alternate mode.
