Combining Variables

[SteveCRM]

How would I do something like this:

     int score;
     char bufferScore[4];
     itoa(score, bufferScore, 10);
     MessageBox... 

I want it to say "Your score is (whatever it is), good job!" or something like that...in vb its the &, what is it in C++

[Vlatko]

#include <iostream.h>
#include <windows.h>

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
int score = 5555;
char bufferScore[5];
itoa(score, bufferScore, 10);
char allText[] = "Your score is ";
strcat(allText,bufferScore);
strcat(allText," good job");
MessageBox(NULL,allText,"ok",MB_OK);
return 0;
}

or use the string class (much easier)

#include <string>
using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
string t1 = "text1";
string t2 = "text2";
string all  = t1+t2;
MessageBox(NULL,all.c_str(),"Caption",MB_OK);
return 0;
}

Just what I wanted...Thanks Vlatko!

Or how about my printf-style MsgBox function?

int MsgBox(HWND hParent, int iFlags, TCHAR *pcCaption, TCHAR *pcText, ...) {
	va_list args;
	TCHAR pcBuf[1024];

	va_start(args, pcText);
	_vsntprintf(pcBuf, 1024, pcText, args);
	va_end(args);
	return MessageBox(hParent, pcBuf, pcCaption, iFlags);
}

That format string code is really nifty. I like I've seen it before, here and other places too, but it's still kinda cool

Geeky huh?
