Convert from integer to string(char*)

[Sam Hu]

Hi Jerome,

Is there any helper functions in eC to convert from int to char*?
Thanks,
Sam

Hi Sam,

The usual sprintf method from the standard C library works:

int number = 1234;

char string[100];

sprintf(number, "%d", 1234);

Alternatively, eC proposes some new ways:

PrintBuf(string, number); // This outputs to the string buffer, just like the printf call above

// PrintString allocates a new string ( which must be deleted )

char * string;

string = PrintString(number);

// Use the string

delete string;

If putting to a file, the File class also has Print methods:

File f = FileOpen("test.txt", write);

f.Print(number);

delete f;

The PrintLn equivalent for Print also exists, printing a new line at the end. A variable number of additional parameters to be printed (which can be of various different types) can also be added.

See the latest release notes from 0.43 for a short description of the Print/PrintLn functions.
