I needed to convert an integer to a string for using it in a file
name for instance. I overlooked it someplace imagine but I couldn't find any
built in function to do so. I wrote the following which handles the
problem...but tell me, is there a built in way? Thanks, Art Adamson
--convert an int to a string
global function intToStr(integer tempInt)
sequence seqOut
seqOut = {}
while floor(tempInt) do
seqOut = prepend(seqOut, 48 + remainder(tempInt,10))
tempInt = floor(tempInt / 10)
end while
return seqOut
end function --intToStr
--puts(1,"The sequence returned is: ")
--? intToStr(1234)
--puts(1,intToStr(1234))

Did you try sprintf?
--puts(1,"The sequence returned is: ")
--? sprintf("%d",{1234})
--puts(1,sprintf("%d",{1234}))
It does hex and floating point too.

Actually Arthur, there is a function call "sprintf" that will accomplish
this for you. The syntax is:
s =3D sprintf(st,x)
where st is a format string, and x is the number. It is used like this:
integer num
sequence s
num =3D 15
s =3D sprintf("%03d",num)
-- s comes out to be "015"
I hope this helps. If you need further assistance, check the library
routines
in the included documentation.

Bryan Watts

Um, I haven't tested this, but you might be able to use the assignment
operator:
sequence s
s = sprintf("%d",{1234})
puts(1,"The sequence returned is: ")
? s
puts(1, s)
The sprintf function returns a sequence formatted the same way as the
printf procedure. The following two lines are equivalent:
printf(1, "%d\n", {1234})
puts(1, sprintf("%d\n", {1234}))

Thanks to Pete Eberlein and others for solving my problem. Sorry I
overlooked the solution. Bye, Art
