Step 4Format C Code String
Now when you have the patterns you want to read into your C code, you click the "Format C Code String" button. This will take the raw hex values and paste them to the right with the "0x" in front of them. Then it will concatenate all of these into a string including the commented name/label you gave it separated by a ", ". It will also include the name you gave the character/pattern commented out by "//" on the end so you can identify it again later.
You will be prompted with a message box which will ask if you are doing a 5x8 font or a 8x8 pattern. A YES click will give you a 5 digit string for fonts, while a NO click will give you a 8 digit string for patterns. You will need to batch your fonts and patterns separately since you can't do both types in one run.
See the pics for the prompt and the results
Now you can copy the cells with the formatted strings and paste them into TextPad or your compiler window.
**I kept this open source so if you don't like the formatting you can unprotect the sheet, there's not password. You can go play with the VBA macro and tweak it if you like.
