Casting int to char, urgent question...

well, let me describe i need to convert my CONTADOR (int) to a char, CONTADOR starts in 0 and terminate in 512, take a look in my program e if possible help me...
sorry by my english...

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <conio.c>
int compara(char* a, char* b);
int main(){

char ENTRADA[50], SAIDA1[50], SAIDA2[50], NOMES[512][80];
FILE *LER;
FILE *ESCREVER2;
FILE *ESCREVER1;
int CONTADOR=0, AUX;

puts("informe o nome do arquivo de entrada sem extensao(ex. arquivo)");
gets(ENTRADA);
puts("informe o nome do arquivo de saida sem extensao(ex. arquivo)");
gets(SAIDA1);
strcat(ENTRADA, ".bin");
strcpy(SAIDA2,SAIDA1);
strcat(SAIDA1, "a-n.bin");
strcat(SAIDA2, "p-z.bin");
if ((((LER = fopen(ENTRADA,"rb")) == NULL)||((ESCREVER1 = fopen(SAIDA1,"wb")) == NULL))||((ESCREVER2 = fopen(SAIDA2,"wb")) == NULL))  {
        puts("Arquivo nao pode ser aberto.");        
         }
else{
   do{
        fread(NOMES[CONTADOR+1], sizeof(NOMES[CONTADOR]), 1, LER);
        strcat(NOMES[CONTADOR], " sequencial: ");
        strcat(NOMES[CONTADOR], CONTADOR);
        }while(!(feof(LER)));
   fclose(LER); 
   qsort(NOMES, CONTADOR, 80, compara);  // veja mais dessa função em: http://www.phim.unibe.ch/comp_doc/c_manual/C/FUNCTIONS/qsort.html (biblioteca STDLIB.H)
   for(AUX=0;AUX<=CONTADOR, AUX++){
        if(((NOMES[AUX][0]>='A')&&(NOMES[AUX][0]<='N'))||((NOMES[AUX][0]>='a')&&(NOMES[AUX][0]<='n')){
        fwrite(NOMES[AUX], 80, 1, SAIDA1);
        }
        else{
        fwrite(NOMES[AUX], 80, 1, SAIDA2);
        }
        }
   }


}
int compara(char *a, char *b)
{
    return(strcmp(a, b));
}

Quzah.

Lots to think about here

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <conio.c>
int compara(char* a, char* b);
int main(){

  char ENTRADA[50], SAIDA1[50], SAIDA2[50], NOMES[512][80];
  FILE *LER;
  FILE *ESCREVER2;
  FILE *ESCREVER1;
  int CONTADOR=0, AUX;

  puts("informe o nome do arquivo de entrada sem extensao(ex. arquivo)");
  //!! read

  gets(ENTRADA);
  puts("informe o nome do arquivo de saida sem extensao(ex. arquivo)");
  gets(SAIDA1);

  strcat(ENTRADA, ".bin");
  strcpy(SAIDA2,SAIDA1);
  strcat(SAIDA1, "a-n.bin");
  strcat(SAIDA2, "p-z.bin");

  /*!! there are some () over-use issues here */
  if ( ( ((LER = fopen(ENTRADA,"rb")) == NULL)||
         ((ESCREVER1 = fopen(SAIDA1,"wb")) == NULL)

     )  {
    puts("Arquivo nao pode ser aberto.");
  }
  else{
    do{
      /*!! you don't check the return result of read */

      /*!! strcat is bad here, fread() does NOT guarantee a \0 at the end */
      /*!! of whatever data you've read in */
      /*!! In addition, you've already filled the buffer with the read */
      /*!! there is no room to append more data */
      strcat(NOMES[CONTADOR], " sequencial: ");

      /*!! my guess is you need to figure out sprintf to convert */
      /*!! an int into a string, then append that string to your result */
      strcat(NOMES[CONTADOR], CONTADOR);

      /*!! Also, you DON'T increment your CONTADOR variable */
    }while(!(feof(LER)));

    qsort(NOMES, CONTADOR, 80, compara);

    /*!! I'm sure the , should be a ; */
    /*!! in addition, if you just want the data read, then */
    /*!! the test should be <, not <= */
    for(AUX=0;AUX<=CONTADOR, AUX++){
      /*!! there are some () issues here */
      /*!! In particular, there is a ) missing */
      if ( ((NOMES[AUX][0]>='A')&&(NOMES[AUX][0]<='N')) ||
