Convert integer/long to a string???

[Warmaster199]

I have made a function for displaying text basing the coordinates on a given XY point:

void xytext(int x, int y, char *text)
{
move_to(x,y); /*move graphics device to x,y */
plots(text); /*plots the text string */
}

This will plot the given text to a given point. This is intended for powerc(you can use another compiler) or any compiler that doesn't have the function outtextxy();

Here is my problem: I would like to turn an integer so I can put it into a string, to display it using this function. I'm not good with strings, so can you tell me how I could add that string(converted int) to the end of another string(a phrase), so I can do something like this:

"Mouse X = " + (Interger(say 77) to string)
"Mouse X = " + "77"
"Mouse X = 77"

You get it? Please help me on this. It's EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!!!

char buf[40];
itoa(number, buf, 10);

Thanks, Parksie!!!

Now how would I add that to the end of a string? (add 2 strings into 1)

Use the "strcat" function.


.
.
.
char buff[10] = "Hello ";
char buff2[10] = "world!";

strcat(buff, buff2);
.
.
.

Also, sprintf should help here:

char buf[100];

sprintf(buf, "Pos: (%d, %d)", xpos, ypos);

OK, That works. Now, I try to switch into a mode using interrupts. This causes my function to not work. Any ideas??? Does anyone have a substitute for my function that will work?

[parksie]

I think you need to restore the interrupt state after changing...not totally sure...it's just what I remembered from browsing that VBE documentation ages ago.

[Warmaster199]

You mean VESA? I was using those VBE modes. Can you figure out how to restore the interrupt states? I'll try as well. Thanks

Ok... Maybe the PowerC print functions aren't good enough. Does anyone know the source code for outtextxy(int x, int y, char *text); , or a similar function? This is higher priority than my thread's actual topic. Please help...
