Why do you want convert a floating number into String?..

Are you getting any input from Pop-up forms?..

Tell me clearly, so that I can help you out in this regard...

floating number

Hi,

i use the cadence design framework (virtuoso) to create schematics. I simulate and measure op amp charcteristics with ocean scripts. After simulation i plot several signals in the waveform viewer (transient signals, common mode output and input signals, gain and phase vs. frequency ...). I let calculated values indicate in the CIW or write into a file.

Now, i would like to indicate calculated values (gain bandwidth, phase margin, corner ...) in the waveform viewer, but the function to add labels or text in the waveform viewer need a string, but the values are floating numbers or integers.

addWindowLabel( l_location t_label ) t_label must be a string

That's my problem

Uh, doesn't this produce "list" datatype?
How about sprintf(nil "%L" 123) instead?

Or in this case:
addWindowLabel( l_location sprintf(nil "%L" T_label ))
where 'T_label' can be a variable which stores the numerical value.

Best regards,

Thanks for all the reply. I have found out the I could use atof to convert say string "1.2" to floating number 1.2.
