String Concatenation

Philldapill

Is there any way to concatenate strings/integers? I'm writing some code that writes to an SD Card, and I have a feeling that I could write the data a whole lot faster if I first concatenate all the bits of data into a string, then write that string at once.

Anyway to squash integers, strings, and individual characters together into a single string?

My string object may help, but it comes with some heavy baggage in the form of a dynamic memory manager.

You can use BYTEMOVE along with STRSIZE to catenate strings as long as you have an area allocated to receive it. You do have to first convert numbers and single characters into strings:

bytemove(resultString + strsize(resultString),newString,strsize(newString)+1)

This copies a 2nd string (newString) onto the end of the 1st string's value (resultString). If you happen to have the lengths of the 2 strings, you can save some time by using those rather than getting it with each move.
