How to convert from Integer into String ? Please help...

How to convert the following:

a0 = 0
a1 = 88.28

into

a$ = "0 - 88.28"

Thanks

Code:

a$ = ltrim$(str$(a0)) + " - " + ltrim$(str$(a1))

Thanks, Plasma

For the record, here are four useful functions:

Code:

VAL (s$). s$ is a string expression that you want to convert to a number. For example VAL("11162.723dd") returns 11162.723.
STR$(n). Returns the string that represents the numeric expression passed. For example, STR$(11512.661) returns "11512.661".
LTRIM$(s$). s$ is a string expression. Returns the string passed, except stripped of any leading spaces.
RTRIM$(s$). Exactly the same as LTRIM$(), except strips the spaces on the end of the string, not the beginning.

That is why the LTRIM$ is required.

Very true, forgot about that...
I guess that's space for the sign?

[KiZ]

Indeed it is. pretty silly really, they should make the space for the sign only appear if it is negative. But i suppose it is required to identify positive signed numbers.
