long to char ***Resolved

I know this has probably been asked a thousand times, and I've searched all through the forums and I'm still getting errors..

Code:

---

char Space[255];
long lNumber;

lNumber = 223538;

---

I've tried

Code:

---

sprintf(space, "%i", (int)lNumber);

itoa((int)lNumber, space, 10)

*(long*)space=lNumber;

---

And from what I can work out, they either do nothing, or are converting the number into actual ascii characters. I simply want
Space = "232538";

as such.

Thanx

I use ostringstream:

PHP Code:

---

char buffer[10];
ostringstream mstr(buffer, 10);
long lNumber;

lNumber = 223538
mstr << lNumber << ends;
cout << mstr.str() << endl;

I don't know if this will make a difference for you, but I'm not writing a console mode application hey.. :D

I haven't actually tested it, but I notice that a lot of the console mode stuff doesn't work when creating Win Apps (only in regards to the variables that can be declared)

Itll work, unless you are doing something wrong.

Try _ltoa, as well.

Only thing for console mode there is cout, the oss is just used like it.

if i use _itoa and 10 for the 3rd parameter, the number is too big, base 10 is tooo low...

and if I use _itoa with 16 for the 3rd parameter, then the number has all the letters that come with base 16...

How can I just get 223538 in the string?? which base??

also with hostringstream, are there any specific files that i need to include??

thanx

use base 10, base in a numbering system is the times a digit is worth its digit to the right, the alphabet starting from A are used as digits beyond 9.
Do you have at least 7 chars in your buffer? can you show your code?

Yes, for ostringstream you must include <sstream>,

Thanx to everyone that helped... life saver...
