I forgot how unforgiving strings are in C.

I am curious does the DGSDK have any (Int, Float) to Strings commands. I am looking for something similar so that I can display some debug text. I need to convert a number to a string for the dbText function. I am not entirely new to C,

does anybody have a function handy?

Why not use sprintf ? Or perhaps dbStr ?

If you're like me, then you might not like using Dark Basic commands (to save CPU possibly). To convert ints or floats to strings in just plain C++, do this:

Declare a function called toString(float num) or something, be sure to include <sstream>, <string.h>, and <stdlib.h>, and be sure to say "using namespace std" (see the attached code)

Then you can call toString(123) and it returns a C++ style string representation of your number.

To make it output in DarkBasic (as with the print command):

dbPrint((char *) toString(123).c_str());

You'd have to use itoa (Int TO Array), not atoi. To do that, you have to do something like this that stores the result into buff, which is a C-style string, NOT a C++ string, so don't get the two confused:
