Max int length for ToString$

Is there a maximum length that will be converted? If my number is greater than 4 digits, it gets truncated to the first 4.
eg. 12345 converts to 1234

The obvious question first, what is the length of your string?

I created a standard string variable (length 20). I am sending over USB serial.

Hi Grant,
I have created a ULong assigned it with 1234567890 and no problems sending via UART USB:
Or in your case Serial USB:

Actually, I think it was a string length issue. I forgot that the variable was concatenated with other strings. The sum length of the strings had grown too long for the holding string[30].

Did you want to post the flowchart you are having issues with?

Turns out it is not a string length issue. It appears to be related to the concatenation itself. This doesn't work(string1[40]), but sending the converted 12345 alone works.

This works fine

Hi
You are right, it is string concatenation that causes issues when more than two are concatenated.
This will cause problems (due to an internal bug with the use of a temporary string) ...
Instead, do this ...
Code: Select all
str = str1
str = str + str2
str = str + str3
Hope that helps,
Leigh
