Arduino store variable by serial read rfid

Question

I want to store the same that is displayed in the Serial Monitor in a variable, because after that i can send the value to a Database. That's the code:

if (bytesread == 12) {  
 for (i=0; i<5; i++) {
    if (code[i] < 16) Serial.print("0");
       Serial.print(code[i], HEX);
    }
    Serial.println();
  }

Is Displayed at Serial Monitor the tag that i scan:

04007E4985

I want to store the tag value in a variable like:

    tag = code[i];

Some sugestion?

Answer 1

Create an array of char an put it:

char theCode[5];
if (bytesread == 12) {  
   for (i=0; i<5; i++) {
     if (code[i] < 16) Serial.print("0");
     // Serial.print(code[i], HEX); 
     theCode[i] = code[i];
   }
     Serial.println(theCode);
}
