Code: void return_number(var number) { STRING* tt = str_create(""); str_for_num(tt, number); while(1) { error(tt); wait(1); } str_remove(tt); } "There is no fate but what WE make." - CEO Cyberdyne Systems Corp.

Thanks Evilsob, i though strings could act like vars... Last edited by MMike; 04/09/09 23:38.
