storing scanned values

[manju]

Hi,
In my application at a point user needs to scan a barcode. How can my application store the scanned barcode in a variable for use at a later stage in the application?? :confused:

External scanner attached via cable to the serial port of the phone??

As for storing the data - globals are bad, BUT in constrained devices such as these, they are your friend.

Yes an external barcode scanner would be attached to the brew phone when application needs to scan a barcode. What I need to know is how can my application capture the scanned barcode, store it in a variable for later use??
