Number to String

This has been asked millions of times before, I'm sure, but how do I turn a unsigned integer into a string, I'm using _utloa() function but it's not working. Am I doing something wrong?

Just use the itoa function. See the FAQ for an example.

I made a huge mistake in my 1st post, I mean an unsigned long into a string. I use the _utloa() and I get '!!!!!!!!!' or similar returned.

USe the sprintf() or wsprintf() functions.

Code:

---

int n = 45;
LPSTR lpNum;
wsprintf(lpNum, "%d", n);

---

You need a real buffer, not just a pointer:

Code:

---

char pcBuf[10];
sprintf(pcBuf, "%d", number);

---

From this code

Code:

---

char    szSectors[10];
sprintf(szSectors, "%i", 10);
puts(szSectors);

---

I'm getting ìììììììììììììììììììì in the szSectors

I just tried that exact code and it printed "10" :confused:

Are we talking Console applications or
Windows Applications???

Does it matter??

ok. I'm getting 10ìììììììì now, is there a way to cut off the ììììììì's?

I'm being stupid now, I got it.

try this...

char szSectors[10];
memset(szSectors, 0, 10);
sprintf(szSectors, "%i", 10);
puts(szSectors);

or

char szSectors[10]=NULL;
sprintf(szSectors, "%i", 10);
puts(szSectors);
