decimal to string conversion

felix0921

I'm working on a GPS project and need to convert for example "123" into a string.· How would I go about doing that?· I am new at this and I am using a BS2

This is what I have so far

serStr· VAR···· Byte(4)
latD VAR Byte

latD = 123

serStr(4) = 0
serStr(0) =· ?? I would like to store 1 here
serStr(1) = ?? and 2 over here
serStr(2) = ?? and 3 over here

How do I go about converting the latD into individual string characters?· The numbers can vary but it is usally 2 or 3 digit numbers.

Felix -

You want to use the DIG function. Here is an example taken right from the PBASIC Help File where you can learn more about it:

value·· VAR···· Word
idx····· VAR···· Nib
Main:
· value = 9742
· DEBUG ? value DIG 2········ ' Show digit 2 (7)
· FOR idx = 0 TO 4
··· DEBUG ? value DIG idx···· ' Show digits 0 - 4 of 9742
· NEXT
· END

That should get you going.

Bruce Bates
