how do you append a string with an integer variable?

how do you append a string with an integer variable?
or can you just use a "real" variable and set it to get the soucre from &the_variable?

a simple example:

Code: Select all

strcat(display.text, "the variable is set to: ' ");
strcat(display.text, &Number);
strcat(display.text " ' ");


would that work?
Edit: &Number does not work, I did not expect it too really.
what else could I do?
this is the first thing I have been stumped on in a while.
Edit2:
a way to convert an integer or real variable to string would be nice too(that is pretty much what I am asking).

You can use the sprinf function:

Code: Select all

sprintf(display.text, "the variable is set to: %d", Number); //%d for integer, %d for real

thanks
I came out with this code so it would fulfill my expectations.

Code: Select all

strcpy(fileText1, display.text);
sprintf(sprintString, "The variavle will be set to '%d'", Number);
strcat(fileText1, sprintString);
strcpy(display.text, fileText1);
strcat(display.text, "\ntype out the g value.\n");

but everytime I do it the game crashes,
I think it is a code overload because of a bunch of extra proccessing stuff it is doing in 1/30th of a second(possible?)
to test this I will use another way to proccess it
Edit: Nope, still crashes
what is the problem?

Hou you create the variables?

variables add string, but the Number is a real variable

it is still in testing stages.

Use %f instead %d

Makslane, be careful!
That's how you put in a C++ comment! C comments are '.
I just thought that the other n00bs besides me would follow that mistake....
