Re: [Dev-C++] Can I create a string from a non-string #define value??

Hi Mike,
This would work if the #define was in the code.

But my problem is that the the #define came from a command line, and i CANT
put the "" on it.
(As I said before, I cannot change the value format)

I need something in the code the gets the #define value that is not a strin=
g
and make a string from it.

I tried de # opertator

#define to_string( x ) # x
const char* VERSION =3D to_string( RELEASE_DATE );

but I get "RELEASE_DATE" and not "2005_11_11_-_11:11:11"

PS: sorry for sending this to your personal email... (new mail program.....=
)
