#include <Preferences.h>
Preferences preferences;
const char* line1 = "hello";
const char* line2 = "world";
//String line1 = "hello"; // this produces same results
//String line2 = "world"; // this produces same results
void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200);
Serial.println();
preferences.begin("any_name_here", false);
preferences.putString("line1", line1);

Re: Need help with Preferences.h
putString returns the number of characters saved to the key. This can be compared to the expected string length to ensure success. Perhaps you were looking for getString?

Re: Need help with Preferences.h
Thank you lbernstone
Yes, it is so obvious now.
I cut and pasted from the lines above and did not change putString to getString!
Thanks again.
