Re: [Dev-C++] Problem with Writefile

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
