How to convert integer to string?

 pcExprToString should work as well.

 Hi,

I think that Andrew's answer is the way to go, use sprintf().  You can perform further processing using the cdfFormatFloatString() function too:

  a = 123
  => 123
  formatted_a = cdfFormatFloatString( sprintf(nil "%d" a) "K")
  => "0.123K"

 oh..its really works well..

Another question: How can I convert string to integer like this: "pmos"  to  pmos ???

Daniel,

Sorry, that doesn't make sense. "pmos" is a string, but pmos is not an integer. What are you actually trying to do? I could tell you how to convert a string to a symbol, but I'm not sure that's what  you actually want?

Andrew.

I know that my statemant was wrong and I have found the correct function (stringToSymbol) I think! Thank you all the same!

Hi Andrew,

How do you convert a string to a symbol or w_windowId?  I am using Ocean and want to make the w_windowId variable in the hardCopy command from strings I created. This way I can change the windowId with my program based on other variables.  I do not see the stringToSymbol function as described by another user.

 var = "window1"

convertering steps to make "window1" to window1 (symbol or windowId)

HardCopy(window1)

Thanks for your help.

Hi Don,

The stringToSymbol function is a core SKILL function, so it is available in OCEAN.  You could also choose to use concat() for converting a string to a symbol - concat does not complain if you pass it either a string or a symbol, so it may be a little more flexible than stringToSymbol, depending on your usage of the function.

In your post you mention "window1" - I'm used to seeing window id's like window:5 but perhaps yours is different because it is a waveform window?  However, if you have a window id like window:5 you can use the window function to return such an id, e.g.

window(5)
=> window:5

I hope this helps!
Best regards,
Lawrence.
