Hi all,

Could someone please advise on how to create a string in LPCXPRESSO? I measures the temperature using a temperature sensor and I would like to insert this value into the text which appears on the display. How do I do that?

Is there a way to join 2 strings? For example:

Yes - strcat.

Refer to the classic book "The C Programming Language" by Kernighan and Ritchie if the libraries you are using do not include basic string manipulation functions like this.

Really? There is no other option? I know functions itoa / uitoa, but how do I join multiple variables of type 'char'?:(

---

That are simple bytes, you can use memcopy or, if you are worried about code size, just write your own loop to add this bytes.

sprintf is crazy function that inflates the code of approx. 11 kilobytes :(

Perhaps you should read http://www.support.code-red-tech.com/CodeRedWiki/UsingPrintf?highlight=%28CR\_INTEGER%29 to reduce that size.

No, there's also itoa.

char str1[3] = 'XYZ';
char str2[5] = 'test1';

char str[8] = str1 + str2;

I would suggest to use the classical 'sprintf'.

I mean, a string, such as:
I have value of temperature

uint8_t t = 23;

and I would like to create this string that I save to a variable:

"Temperature is 23 degrees"

And this text I can send to LCD display (2x 16 chars). I know that in the classical C, the function uses sprinf.

Are we talking about IDE console?
