here's my error

final.ino: In function 'void setup()':
final:30: error: invalid conversion from 'char' to 'char*'
final:30: error: initializing argument 1 of 'void send_msg(char*, char*)'

but probably won't work like you expect since the function is using it as a string.

No, it won't. number needs to be a string (an array).

And, as Delta_G alluded to, both number and msg need to have values assigned. Sending an empty message to an undefined number is a waste of effort (and you will be charged).

void loop() {
  if(Serial1.available()){
   char c=Serial1.read();
  if(c==65){
    number=Serial1.read();}
    else{}
}
}

What is the "else" for? What is 65?

You know you have one character available, but are reading two. Why?

here is the original code that i want to modify
i want to change the number to a variable depending to the receive data from the pc as well as the message("hello") this code it is working ,what i need to do?

char Rx_data[50];
unsigned char Rx_index = 0;
int i = 0;
char msg[160];
int sig;

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(38400);
  
  initGSM();
  send_msg("09295791692", "Hello");
}

void loop() {
  //none
}

void send_msg(char *number, char *msg)
{
  char at_cmgs_cmd[30] = {'\0'};
  char msg1[160] = {'\0'};
  char ctl_z = 0x1A;

  sprintf(msg1, "%s%c", msg, ctl_z);
  sprintf(at_cmgs_cmd, "AT+CMGS=\"%s\"\r\n",number);
  
  sendGSM(at_cmgs_cmd);
  delay(100);
  delay(100);
  delay(100);
  sendGSM(msg1);
  delay(100);
}

void sendGSM(char *string){
  Serial.write(string);
  delay(90);
}

void clearString(char *strArray) {
  int j;
  for (j = 100; j > 0; j--)
    strArray[j] = 0x00;
}

void send_cmd(char *at_cmd, char clr){
  char *stat = '\0';
  while(!stat){
    sendGSM(at_cmd);
    delay(90);
    readSerialString(Rx_data);
    
    stat = strstr(Rx_data, "OK");
  }
  if (clr){
    clearString(Rx_data);
    delay(200);
    stat = '\0';
  }
}

void initGSM(){
  
  send_cmd("AT\r\n",1);						
//  send_cmd("ATE0\r\n",1); // Turn off automatic echo of the GSM Module	
	
  send_cmd("AT+CMGF=1\r\n",1);			// Set message format to text mode
  //Sucess
  
  Serial.println("Success");
	
  delay(1000);
  delay(1000);
  delay(1000);
}

void readSerialString (char *strArray) {
  
  if(!Serial.available()) {
    return;
  }
  
  while(Serial.available()) {
    strArray[i] = Serial.read();
    i++;
  }
}

  char *stat = '\0';

while(!stat){
  ...

This is incredibly obscure. I suggest a rewrite.

IS IT possible?

IS IT possible?

Certainly.

What is IT, though?

9

is it possible to change the number to a variable depending to the receive data...

10

is it possible to change the number to a variable depending to the receive data...

This is like pulling teeth. Change what number to what variable? Almost anything is possible if you know what you are trying to do.

nehj:
IS IT possible?

The Knights happen to have a weakness in that a number of words, when spoken to them, has the same effect on them as their saying "Ni" has on others. The only one of these words that is revealed in the film is the word "it", which is picked up on when Arthur, upon being asked to cut down the mightiest tree in the forest with a herring, declares that "it can't be done." Ultimately, King Arthur and Sir Robin (who shows up with his own knights) both say "it" several times in conversation (unaware that "it" was the word that was causing the Knights' pain). However earlier in the very same scene the head Knight himself uses the word ("It is a good shrubbery.") suggesting that it only causes the knights pain when said by someone else.
