Searching a UART Rinig_Buffer for a specific character

Hi,
I initialed UART peripheral with Ring_Buffer, I need to searching in the  received data which are stored in the ring buffer ,When i pop an item it cleared from buffer which is not desired for me, i only need to move on the buffer and investigate characters without changing it's content,copying complete buffer is not desired too & data stream is coming in unregulated time.whats your suggestion?
WBR.

without seeing the code it's hard to say, especially with such cryptic and seemingly-random error.

Please post some code, and we'll be able to help you out :)

I don't have accessing to my code right now but as i remember ,it showed:
-> instruction is undefined!
thank for your answers.

Are you mean external accessing to this structure is impossible?
Can you please explain more ?

You are describing that there's a buffer structure and you want to access received data, right?

So where's the problem? Use this structure...

You are talking about compiler errors but not showing your code / project :~

As i know Ring_Buffer is a structure but when i want to acces to it's content with e.g. Ring_Buffer->data compiler return error.

:quest:

The just use this structure...

excuse me ,but i don't understand your mind.

Hi dizgah,

You could deploy your own IRQ handler and perform the validation/check in there.
Just check what's inside the default LPCOpen handler function, dump its content in the IRQ, and check the content of each received byte before storing it into the buffer
However, remember to leave the TX part unchanged.

Here's a starting point:

void UART0_IRQHandler(void) {
// handles tx - same as default handler
if ((Chip_UART_GetStatus(_uart_ptr) & UART_STAT_TXRDY) != 0) {
Chip_UART_TXIntHandlerRB(_uart_ptr, &_txring);

if (RingBuffer_IsEmpty(&_txring)) {
Chip_UART_IntDisable(_uart_ptr, UART_INTEN_TXRDY);
}
}

// handles rx
while ((Chip_UART_GetStatus(_uart_ptr) & UART_STAT_RXRDY) != 0) {
uint8_t current_char = Chip_UART_ReadByte(_uart_ptr);
Chip_UART_IntDisable(_uart_ptr, UART_INTEN_RXRDY);
if(current_char == YOUR_CHAR) {
// do something 
} else {
// otherwise, store it in the ring buffer
RingBuffer_Insert(&_rxring, &current_char );
}
Chip_UART_IntEnable(_uart_ptr, UART_INTEN_RXRDY);
}
}

Good luck!

ِDear miccio
I think this is a wise scenario to searching for my desired byte in IRQ handler (& then i can sore it's place on the buffer) but my problem is selective accessing to Ring_Buffer elements.
i need to access to each item & read it's content,Change,search,Replace,Copy&... it.
As i know Ring_Buffer is a structure but when i want to acces to it's content with e.g. Ring_Buffer->data compiler return error.
