hello folks can anyone please tell me the best way to print text with an added int value

the following will not work because the + is seen by c++ as a pointer.

dbText ( 50,100, "Screen width :- " + dbStr(scr_width ));

what is the best way to do this in c++

Here's one to do it using standard function sprintf(), may not be the best but it works.



You can use other modifiers in place of %s and %d, like %f for float or %x for hexadecimal.

Of all the things I've lost .. I miss my marbles most of all.

Hello i found a solution to my problem in the forum it was as follows :-

char pBuf[64];


sprintf(pBuf,"Screen resolution %d %d ",scr_width,scr_height);
dbText(100,100,pBuf);


in this instance the output to screen is
---
Screen resolution 1024 768
---
where scr_width and scr_height are both int values

Well thank you sir i found that a little earlier on and it works great. Having previously used pascal and basic using C++ to concatenate strings came as a bit of a shock lol.....

have a nice day :- Steve
