problems with strcat 1

[Guest_imported]

I want to concatenate an integer at the end of a string.

I am doing like this

int a=7;
char abc[50]="c:\\errorlog\\";
strcat(abc,((char*)a));
strcat(abc,"file.java"

This code doesn't give a error while compiling ,But gives a runtime error.

Kindly help me ..

you can do this by using "itoa()" function. this will convert your integer to string and then you can concat the resulted string with another string.

int a=7;
char* xx[2]=0;
xx[0]=(char)a+'0';
char abc[50]="c:\\errorlog\\";
strcat(abc,xx);
strcat(abc,"file.java"

You need sprintf():

int a=7;

sprintf(abc,"%s%d%s","c:\\errlog\\",a,"file.java"

Yes your problem is in the 7. While using the
strcat(abc,((char*)a)); the 7 will be considered as an address and strcat function will start to read characters form the address 7 and all the problems.

i agree with rbobbit, sprintf is the best way to go. it's very simple and only one line of code
