Combine variables

[QM Assistant]

Is it possible to combine string and integer into one? I'm trying to combine words with numbers, but when I tried .from, I was recieving random number and letters. So I tried combining the integers together first and then just adding the 1 string and 1 integer together, but when using string it doesn't give what i'm trying to receive.


Macro ( Macro38 )

Code:

Copy      Help

int i d p;str q
i=1
d=2
p=(i+d)

q="You have"
str a=(q+p)
out a

Output box:

have

What i'm trying to get:

You have 3

Nevermind, I just figured it out.


Macro ( Macro38 )

Code:

Copy      Help

int i d p;str q w
i=1
d=2
p=(i+d)
w=p

q="You have "
str a.from(q w)
out a

I hate brainfarts! :?

Code:

Copy      Help

int i d p;str q
i=1
d=2
p=(i+d)

q="You have"
str a.from(q " " i)
out a
a.format("You have %i" i)
out a
a.format("%s %i" q i)
out a

In response to this, why would this not insert multiple line information into dialog editbox? For some reason it just replaces the previous information inserted, rather then multiple lines of information?

[_pi]

because content of string a is always overwritten.
use froma or formata to add lines to a.

Code:

Copy      Help

int i d p;str q
i=1
d=2
p=(i+d)

q="You have"
str a.from(q " " i "[]")
out a
a.formata("You have %i[]" i)
out a
a.formata("%s %i[]" q i)
out a

[] means linebreak

I know that, i'm trying to solve QM EXPERT's question from one of his other posts, but when inserting it into an editbox inside a dialog, it just keeps inserting the information over the top of the previous information that was inserted.

The dialog that he has grabs the root, then a starting number and an ending number; Root=1, Start=1, End=5, and what this does is output: 11 12 13 14 15. So i'm trying to transfer the information from the dialog that gets this information to another dialog which will paste the information into an editbox. I have everything working until it inserts the information from the first dialog. It grabs the information but then when it pastes the information it overwrites the previous line. Which results in only showing the last number; 15.

[_pi]

use either a global or thread variable.

I did. Still doesnt work right. Here's the 2 dialogs. Maybe this will help.

You know getwintext, setwintext and adding strings. Then what is the problem?

s.getwintext(id(x hDlg))
s+"[]"
s+i
s.setwintext(id(x hDlg))

[QM Assistant]

Yep, i'm an idiot. I'm just thinking too hard. Thanks.

[_pi]

Yep, i'm an idiot.

welcome in the club.
:roll:

[QM Assistant]

Is there any way to avoid the macro adding the end number to the beginning before it adds them all?

When I try it, I get:

5Numbers1
Numbers2
Numbers3
Numbers4
Numbers5

Any ideas why? Why do I have a feeling the answer is right in front of my eyes, but i'm just not seeing it. :?
