Arduino Strings / Char

Rule #1 - don't use the String class.  

	char myString[30];
	
	void setup() {
	  // update variable myString with new data
	  strcpy(myString, "New content#1");
	  strcpy(myString, "New content#2");
	  
	  // Concatenate data to myString
	  strcat(myString "Concat");
	  
	  // Assign "ABCDEF" to myString
	  strcpy(myString, "ABCDEF");
	  if (strcmp(myString, "ABCDEF") == 0 {
		// match found
	  }
	  
	}  // setup()
	
	void loop() {
	} // loop()
