Integers and ini files

[fergmj]

I have an Edit Box on a form. The name of the Edit Box is Interval. I want a person to enter a number in the edit box and write that number to an ini file like this:

ini->WriteInteger("com 1", "Search Interval", Interval->Text);

However i get an error because the TextBox wants an ANSI String.

I have tried StrToInt and IntToStr conversions with no luck. Does anyone have any advice?

Thanks

how about sprintf?
#include<stdio.h>
.....
char* x=new char[10];
sprintf(x,&quot;%d&quot;,12345);
....
delete[] x; John Fill

I use IntToStr and StrTo Int all the time. Where exactly is you problem? What is the error? Why don't they work, what happens?

Try that:

ini->WriteInteger(&quot;com 1&quot;, &quot;Search Interval&quot;, StrToInt(Interval->Text));

I just wrote one of those today, it should work.
if that doesn't work, you could work around your problem:

make an int, name it int x;

when the user presses the OK button, or presses enter, or whatever they do to input the Text in Interval, type in this code:

x = StrToInt(Interval->Text);
ini->WriteInteger(&quot;com 1&quot;, &quot;Search Interval&quot;, x); Cyprus

Greetinx!

You should use methods of AnsiString like that:

ini->WriteInteger(&quot;com 1&quot;, &quot;Search Interval&quot;, Interval->Text.ToInt());
or
ini->WriteInteger(&quot;com 1&quot;, &quot;Search Interval&quot;, Interval->Text.ToIntDef(0));

Difference between this two methods is a exception that is thrown due to illegal integer value in AnsiString in first expample. In second example, the default value (zero in example) will be returned, it AnsiString has illegal integer value.
