I've been asked to write a program that can take in input from a serial port, and then parse it.
I've no problem with parsing, but the input from serial port I could use help on.
Anyone have any advice/links for either Java or C++ as far as serial port communications go?

For Java, you can use Java Communications API which handles Serial and Parallel ports programming. You can get it from Sun website. For C/C++, it depends on the platform & whether you are using Win or Linux. I have some programs for serial port. If you need them, you can contact me by email.

outport()and inport()are good but they only can be used in 98/95.2000 and XP restrict your privilege to access the serial port directly.Instead of those two functions,you could try CreatFile()and WriteFile()
