Convert integer to string
PostPosted: Thu Oct 14, 2004 12:14 pm     Reply with quote
Hi all,


With the PIC18F1320 I communicate with a Diplay(EA Dip204-4) over the serial SPI Interface. The data which I send are in an integer variable (for example: 50). The Problem is I can only send an string variable (for example: char value[]="50") to the display.
My Question: It`s possible to convert an integer to a string?

thanks for the help

Sorry for my bad English ;)

Use the sprintf() function as described in the CCSC manual, as is pasted below. Very Happy
Code:
SPRINTF()
 

Syntax:
 sprintf(string, cstring, values...);

 
 
Parameters:
 string is an array of characters.

cstring is a constant string or an array of characters null terminated.  Values are a list of variables separated by commas.

 
 
Returns:
 Nothing

 
 
Function:
 This function operates like printf except that the output is placed into the specified string.  The output string will be terminated with a null.  No checking is done to ensure the string is large enough for the data.  See printf() for details on formatting.

 
 
Availability:
 All devices.

 
 
Requires
 Nothing

 
 
Examples:
 char mystring[20];

long mylong;

 

mylong=1234;

sprintf(mystring,"<%lu>",mylong);

// mystring now has:

//      < 1 2 3 4 > \0

 
 
Example Files:
 None
