A very simple spin question.

Hi all.
Something is getting me crazy, I will apreciate some help in this.

I've a byte variable which values could be from 1 to 30, and I need to create a string variable with that number plus· the ".btx" string.
In example:

I have a variable·.... nValue := 16
And I need to translate to:·.... ·name := "16.btx"
then I will do .... nValue++
so my new name string will be ... name := "17.btx"

How can I do that ??

It is to put that "name" as the filename, to be open by the Rokicki's SD code.

Thanks in advance !!!

    How about: 
    name[noparse][[/noparse] 0 ] := nValue/10+"0"
name[noparse][[/noparse] 1 ] := nValue//10+"0"
bytemove(@name+2,string(".btx"),5)


    Note that this also copies the zero byte terminator.

    ... or 
    name[noparse][[/noparse] 0 ] := nValue/10+"0"
name[noparse][[/noparse] 1 ] := nValue//10+"0"

DAT
 name BYTE "NN.btx",0

    Hi deSilva.

    Yes, I know that the "correct words"·should be "simplified Chinese"......

    "Basic Chinese" is only a literal expression in my country.... just to mean a too much difficult thing. smile.gif (It sounds more interesting in Spanish..... "Chino básico").

    Same, thanks all for your help !! I will try to decipher what you mean...

    In American english (perhaps British too), the term is "it's all Greek to me", but it conveys same concept.
