Thread: Adding group of integers to string

Hey guys,

I am trying to throw in a couple integer values to a char[].
In the array I have the date broken down with the struct tm variables into year month and day. Here is what I have.

Code:

char fileName[] = "Catalog_%i_%i_%i_am.txt", year, month, day;

I'm pretty sure the syntax is wrong but I cannot find anything online about doing this.

It compiles fine and when it runs the output is:
Catalog_%i_%i_%i_am.txt

It leaves the '%i' in there.

Thank you for your time.
Dominic

This looks like a good use for sprintf().

Instead of printing to the screen, "sprintf()" prints to a buffer.

Thank you that worked great!
