Is there an easy way to cast an integer as a string.  I noticed that casting isn't allowed.  I want to read a keyboard code and save it as the corresponding letter as a string.  I don't want to have to write a function

if (keycode == 65)
 str = "A";
else if...

I couldn't find anyting in the help file or searching this forum so I think I already know the answer but if anyone else knows a shortcut I would be happy to hear it.

i think StrFormat("%d",integer) would do that

I tried that, it just put the number into the string instead of the letter.

I just readed the first line, sorry.

Then the only thing i can think of is using StrSetCharAt, maybe:
function CharToString(string letter, char keycode){//you can use an int here instead of a char i think
StrCopy(letter,"x");
StrSetCharAt(letter,0,keycode);
}

But there must be another neater way to do it, which somebody will tell you   (im not sure even if that way would work)

Yep, Proskrito has the right idea.

Also the same using StrFormat:

string letter;
StrFormat(letter, "%c", keycode);

or for adding a sequence of codes:

StrFormat(letter, "%s%c", letter, keycode);
