Code:

unsigned char* IntToStr(int value, unsigned char* pString)
{
TBuf8<10> tmp;
TInt len;

tmp.Num(value);

len = tmp.Length();
Mem::Copy(pString,tmp.Ptr(),len);
pString[len] = 0;

return pString;
}

Sorry, I wasn't clear enought.

So I got a number what I want to convert to a string. Under windows I do it with the

_fcvt

function, which is not supported under symbian. I saw that TDes has a .Num() function. But how can I add a value to the TDes (a string)?
Than I have to copy it back to a char* with

strcat.

(I am porting a c code.)

But I cannot add value to TDes, and cannot cast it to be able to copy it back.

Thanks for your help in advance!

const char* CALLSENDER_EVENT;
TPtrC8 ptr((const TUint8*)CALLSENDER_EVENT));

Code:

TInt namelen;

namelen = User::StringLength(pString);
TPtrC8 tmp(pString,namelen);

pString is C-style string
