Re: [Dev-C++] Can I create a string from a non-string #define value??

[<mi...@ne...>]

It is quite alright sending it to my personal email. Infact, if you =
would wish to converse through that means, I have no problems with it.

I assume, now, that you're passing the -D option to the compiler to =
assign defines.

If that is the case, Here is a test program I just wrote to make it =
work.

---code--

#include <stdio.h>


int main ()
{
    printf("%s\n\r", RELEASE);
    return 0;
}

--code--

And I compiled it this way (used my linux machine and GCC, but dev-cpp =
uses mingw, so you can set the compile options)

gcc def.c -DRELEASE=3D\"2.2\" -o def -ggdb


Notice the use of quotes? Try it.=20

Output:

 ./def
2.2


Hope this helps,
Mike.

  Hi Mike,
  This would work if the #define was in the code.

  But my problem is that the the #define came from a command line, and i =
CANT put the "" on it.
  (As I said before, I cannot change the value format)

  I need something in the code the gets the #define value that is not a =
string and make a string from it.

  I tried de # opertator

  #define to_string( x ) # x
  const char* VERSION =3D to_string( RELEASE_DATE );

  but I get "RELEASE_DATE" and not "2005_11_11_-_11:11:11"

  PS: sorry for sending this to your personal email... (new mail =
program.....)

    How about trying

    #define RELEASE_DATE "2005_11_11_-_11:11:11"

    That makes the defined as a string.

      Hi

      I have a #define like this:

      #define RELEASE_DATE 2005_11_11_-_11:11:11

      And I cannot change the value format :(

      How can I create a string (char *) form the RELEASE_DATE define???
