Hi Ganesh,

Next time when you post the code, please don’t forget to format it in the proper way as I’ve done for you this time.

 

void lcd_disp(unsigned char C) 
{
      LCD=C; LCD_RS=1; LCD_EN=1;
      delay_ms(1);
      LCD_EN=0; 
}
 
void lcd_data(unsigned char *disp) 
{ 
     while(*disp) 
            lcd_disp(*disp++); 
}
 
The *disp is a pointer to an array that holds the character to be displayed. Initially it will point to the first charcter of the array and as you increase the pointer like (*disp++) it point to the succeeding characters.
 
Is this code working?
 
If you have any doubts, please feel free to post here.
