Re: int to ascii character?

Hi David,

ok, maybe i misunderstood something. Let's start again.
You have myInt with some value (e.g. 65). This value need to be printed as
ascii character into a string append with some other text or values??
If so, you should take a look at sprintf() and all its format parameters.
Here is some example code:
DWORD value = 65;
char message[0x100];
sprintf(message, "Some message. The value as decimal %d or simple hex %x or
readable hex 0x%08x or even as character %c\r\n", value, value, value,
value);

It's just a simple demo, but sprintf is a mighty function, cause through the
format string you're very flexible. You can also use a sprintf() function to
built the format string for another sprintf function like this one:
DWORD value = 65;
char message[0x100];
char format[0x100];
TCHAR output[0x100];
DWORD i;

for(i = 1; i <=8; i++)
{
sprintf(format, "Print a hex value with minimum lenght of %d. 0x%%0%dx and
some other char %%c\r\n", i, i);
sprintf(message, format, value, value);
swprintf(output, L"%S", message);
RETAILMSG(1, (output));
}

How you can see, it's also very usable to convert a single byte char to
unicode and vice versa (by using the %S placeholder). So if that don't help
or i didn't hit the right spot again, just post a message.

Best regards,
