I have some problems working with strings. I have read the manual and I have seen that Game-Editor provides some functions to be used with strings. However, I cannot understand how to perform certain operations. In particular:

1) How to convert an integer into a string. Game-Editor provides the function for string-to-integer (atoi) but not the reverse (or at least I have not found it).

2) I have two variables declared string st1 and st2. I want to assign st2 a substring of st1 starting at position m and lenght n. From what I read substrings of controlled lenght can be copied into another string but only starting at the beginning (strncpy).

Thanks in advance.

You can use sprintf to convert most variable types into a string. In your case you want %d for the format. The following will convert integer into the string.

Code: Select all

sprintf(string, "%d", integer);

You will have to use strncpy, but since a string is a character array, you can choose the starting point of the string.

Code: Select all

strncpy(str2, &str1[5], 5);

That will copy 5 characters starting from the 6th character.
