Hello J.Schuhmacher,

I would like to help you but I don't know what the "WriteFile" is, maybe it 
is some ANSI C/C++ function that I'm missing?

Please let me know.


If you wish to convert an integer into a string you could use the function 
"itoa" (Integer TO Array).

I've found such a function in the file "stdlib.h" shipped with the mingw 
compiler (or with Dev-C++)
but as far as I remember "itoa" is not an ANSI-C function (of course I may 
be wrong), so if portability is important to you I  suggest you not use it.

I use instead a version of "itoa" that can be found at 
www.geocities.com/gisan1/src_fram.htm/

Hope this helps

hi,

there are several ways to convert an integer to a string, for example

  char s[80];
  int i;

  i = 123;
  sprintf(s, "the value of i is: %d\n", i);

this copies the text "the value .." to s, and then replaces the "%d" with a
string representing i. if you want only the integer to appear in the string,
you can remove the rest of the so-called format string and just write

  sprintf(s, "%d", i)

s should be "123", then.

you may also concatenate more than one argument:


  sprintf(s, "i: %d; j: %d", i, j);

bye,

anti.
