Hello, I'm having a lot of trouble trying to convert data to SCString in order to be accepted as an argument by sc.AddMessageToLog() function. I tried any kind of C++ built-in "to string"-like function but it does not work. I see that ACSIL has some function like sc.TimeMSToString() or sc.DateToString() but they only work with these specific type of data. Could you please help me ? Thanks a lot. |

Much info here: ACSIL Programming Concepts: Working with SCString, Text Strings and Setting ACSIL Structure Member Name Strings This might be of particular interest: ACSIL Programming Concepts: Creating Strings that Consist of Numbers and Text http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/cstdio/printf/ Also: sc.FormatGraphValue() sc.FormatVolumeValue() |

The following example creates a string, formats it with text and a variable, and writes it to the Message Log. SCString MessageOut;
float Price = sc.Last[sc.Index]; MessageOut.Format("Last Price = %f", Price); sc.AddMessageToLog(MessageOut, 0); |

for future reference: I guess this should work (scs being an SCString) std::string s{ scs.GetChars() }; // maybe you don't even need the .GetChars()? or auto s = scs.GetChars(); //for const char * Date Time Of Last Edit: 2024-05-21 09:58:06
