PIC 16F877A clock alarm project need to add a variable text during the buzz !

Hello!
i want to build a project wich i can add time alarm + text
and when the alarm will turn on i mean :
if((alarm_hour == hours) && (alarm_min == mins )) // If it is alarm time,
a small text will appear in the LCD wich i already written it such a variable
i have the project of the alarm clock with the code in mikroC and also the programme of keypad+lcd
codes (mikroc):
alarm:
// Global date/time variables
char sec, mins, hours, date, day, month, year;
char day_name[7][4] = {"Sun", "Mon", "Tue", "Wed", "Thu", "Fri", "Sat"};
char alarm_hour=0, alarm_min=0;
const char character1[] = {0,4,14,14,31,31,4,0}; // Bell's LCD code
const char character2[] = {31,27,17,17,0,0,27,31}; // Bell's Invert LCD code

}

all i want is :
1) collecting the two projects in one
2) realise this commande :

if((alarm_hour == hours) && (alarm_min == mins )) // If it is alarm time,
{ // then ring the bell and display text
alarmSet = 2;
RB2_bit = 1;//SOUNDER
Lcd_Out(2, 5, "((mm))"); // mm is a variable include the text


3) use the same LCD for the communication and displaying

so i need to add the keypad in alarm project

please need your help :-(
Thank you !

where are you ??

someone here ??

Please post code in tags for code.

No idea ??

The code is difficult to read because the forum software only accepts plain text. It removes the tabs and leading spaces so your program is difficult to read. Go back to your first post and click EDIT then either highlight the code and click the code tag icon '#' or type '[ CODE ]' before it and '[ / CODE ]' after it with the spaces removed.

Anyway, you almost did the work yourself. Use the code you suggested and add your text in the same way as the "void fixed_text()" example shows. You will have a small problem because when you only check the alarm hour and minute match the time, it will be true for the whole minute so your text may be repeated many times. The cure is to add a variable, something like "AlarmIsTriggered" which you set after the text is displayed and reset when the minute has changed. You only display the text if the variable is not set, this makes it show only once.

how can i write two charachters in the keypad and save theme as a variables , it happened just with only one charachter
