PIC: Clear bit with bitnummer as variable?

[msmax]

pic clear bit

Using MPLAB for a small project:

I like to clear a bit in a register using the value of an other register.

for example:

INCF Count,F
BCF Reg, Count

This doesn't seem to work, cause BCF only accepts literals.
Any idea how to do this in a easy way?

This can not work, you could define a table of the 8 bit positions

like
addwf pcl,F
retlw 0x01 or 0xFE if you want to clear Bit 0
retlw 0x02 or 0xFD if you want to clear Bit 1
....

and then call this routine with your "variable" in W

movf count,W
call xxxx
andwf Reg,F to clear bit X or iorwf Reg,F to set bit X

Complicated, but I have no other idea

best regards

Thanks for the info.

May be not the most simple routine, but it works fine for me.

Good THINKING!

other way "multiplication algorithm


use a dummy register f1
in f2 is the value of your bit. value is in orther 0 to 7

movlw b'11111111';
movwf f1
bcf status,c
loop rlf f1,f;
decfsz f2
goto loop
movf f1,w;
andwf yourfile
