He suggested this library last week he is also a member on this community

@jester_salivio oh yes for the arduino board no formatted print
then just
Serial.print(“string:”);
Serial.print(textMessage);
Serial.println(":endstring;");

@Yves_BAZIN Nothng happen my friend

@jester_salivio can you tell me what you see in the serial output ?

@Yves_BAZIN i don’t why there’s a ⸮⸮⸮⸮⸮҂
but actually its time and date that i send

string:
+CMT: “+639290584072”,"", 18/0⸮ ⸮⸮⸮⸮⸮҂⸮Z⸮⸮j
STI (this is the SMS Message)
:endstring;

@jester_salivio it’s certainly the character encoding and that’s why nothing gets display the special characters mess up with the print
‘STI’ was the text message?

@jester_salivio you are using a program to send the SMS ?

@Yves_BAZIN sorry for late reply , yes the sti is the message and I’m using SMS to send message

@Yves_BAZIN using gsm module

@jester_salivio any model reference ?

@Yves_BAZIN here , this is the same in my GSM module that I’m using right now

@jester_salivio ok replace serial.print(textMessage) by
Serial.print(textMessage.substring(textMessage.indexOf(“\n”)));
And let me know the output of the serial

Before the Serial.print(TextMessage…
add
textMessage=textMessage.substring(textMessage.indexOf(“+CMT”));

@Yves_BAZIN sorry late reply just got home from school

this is my code right now , first i texted number 0 and then letter J

@jester_salivio we are making progress
Can you add before the Serial.priint(textMess…
Serial.print(“begin”);
And after it
Serial.println(“end”);
And show menthe result

but the things is the STrip displayed number 0 and letter J have the same output

@jester_salivio that is normal we haven"t changed the string to be displayed yet. for the moment i am just checking the parsing of the serial output. the “+” that you see is the “+” of your phone number
i think we still need to remove some “return to the line”

@Yves_BAZIN thank you for helping me man :slight_smile:
