wouldn''t you use %lf with sprintf for a double?
%f is for a float.
also if you really need to, ftoa converts a float to a string, but sprintf is easier.

Any ftoa function is non-standard.

are there restrictions on what can be posted?
i have been trying to post a line of code and it keeps truncating it.

Rabid STL fans? I fail to see how doing things in globally accepted standard methods is a bad thing. And besides - how did his post affect yours in any way at all? I saw it as another method of doing the same thing.

Just because you don''t wanna adapt and use standards, does not mean you neat to get all huffy when others do.

That''s because of HTML. See the FAQ (top right of the page).

I got "huffy" because he claimed that one of the other methods was "ugh." I use what I damn well please, and I'm not telling you to do any differently, so lay off.

When you post questions like this, you should state which language you are using.

Oh come on, you know that''s flame-bait!

You''re right, I forgot that...

Well most of you seemed to know what language it was

Thanks.
