Combining Variables

Apologies in advance for the newbie question! Congrats on the Regexp library it is really useful!

My problem is if I match a message in quotes like ms.Match("63 100") my code works perfectly.

But I'd like to declare a variable in the beginning of the code so I don't need to change the values in the loop.

In the beginning of my code I'm declaring a variable like this:
char address = 63;

Then in the loop I want to match something like:
ms.Match (address, "100");

But as you know it does not work, I can't seem to find the right meta-character formatting to make it work.

Any suggestions please?

Use sprintf to make the thing you want to match on, and then pass that string to ms.Match.

Thank you!

But then would I be creating a buffer with just two characters? Am I missing something?

No, the buffer would have in it: 63 100

That’s what you want to match on isn’t it? In any case can’t use you strstr if you just want to find if one string is inside another?

Just because I didn’t know you could do that! Newbieism is a serious condition but I’m treating it! : )

Thanks Nick!
