Building strings

[matteus]

I was wondering if there was a nicer way in C of carrying out this:

Code: Select all

char static YouHaveStr[] = "You have ";
char static Stakes1Str[] = " stakes";

// Builds char "You have X stakes"
strclr(StakesStr); // clear stakes char
intToStr(StakesInt, StakesStr, 0); // convert stakes int to char
strclr(MessageBoxLineStr2);  // clear char
strcpy(MessageBoxLineStr2, YouHaveStr); // copy "You have "
strcat(MessageBoxLineStr2, StakesStr); // copy no of stakes to string
strcat(MessageBoxLineStr2, Stakes1Str); // copy " stakes"

I could use snprintf. I'm guessing it would need to be written in strings.h?

Thanks to PaspallasDev and JackNolddor the next SGDK version will include the very useful sprintf(...) method which make thing so much easier for string operation. If you are impatient you can get the latest string.c / string.h files from the Github repository : https://github.com/Stephane-D/SGDK

I don't find it

I've looked some days ago about it and didn't find, so I was surprised by your message. I made another search right now and didn't find it either. I was about to code my own version

Oups.. i committed changes but forgot to "push" them :p You should find them now (as many others changes actually) !

YAY !

Thanks

Oh fantastic!!!

I'm not sure if aspallasDev and JackNolddor read this forum much but can you thank them for me Stef?

The number of temp char arrays, intToStr, StrCat and StrCpy calls they've saved me is immense!

Extremely happy

PaspallasDev doesn't read this forum but i'll tell him your message.

EDIT: Done!
