new conversion library is ready

[Briansw]

var
text : array[8] of char;

text:=' 56789'; //has 3 spaces at beginning of string


code

StrReplChr(text,' ','0');
Lcd_Out(1,1,text);

result of this on LCD is '00000056789' but
shouldn't this be '00056789' ?


text:string[8];

Thanks

It surely should if there were three spaces to be replaced. StrReplChr certainly does not add zeroes to string (BTW, it belongs to Strings lib, not conversions). Without more information I can't say what is the problem, but it's not in StrReplChr.

OK, found the problem.

Even if I did this.

text:string[1];

and then this

LongintToStr(12234567,text);

LongIntToStr will resize text[1] so that the longint will fit. It will resize it to text[11]; That explains the extra 0's I'm getting. Look at the help file and it says longinttostr needs a string[11]. So it must somehow resize the string to fit the conversion. Bug in mikroep? I can load a lonngint into a string or array of 1 and display the entire longint on a LCD.

Hi Janni,

I would like to know if your library supports MicroC PRO or not. If yes, how to include the library into my project so that I can use the functions.

This is mikroPascal forum, so libraries presented here certainly won't work with any PRO compilers.

BUT , for the next PRO versions release I'm preparing a set of libraries that should work with all PRO compilers for PIC18 processors. Most of them will be official lib replacements, like strings, conversions, and floating-point math libs.

mC versions will require more work - some libs will need header files - so it'll take more time. Note also that the libs are aimed at extending mikroPascal, so behaviour of some routines may differ from known in ANSI C.
