turn a int into a string?

[meshsmooth]

I have a vex geometry vop net that I am making multiple groups, and then throwing sets of points into. So I need a bit of vex code I can make into an OT or chuck into a inline vop to make an int value of 1 into

Try this:

int pointNum = 5;

string text = sprintf("vexGroup_%i", pointNum);

ok well i whacked this code in a OT and an inline vop

re wrote it to be

input: intVal

output: intString

$intString = sprintf("vexGroup_%g" ,$intVal);

Now it works to a point.... it works displaying the new string with the number on the end if the number doesn

In an inline vop I have this code

$intName = sprintf("intString_%g", $sum);

Hooked up to a print and all it outputs is non dynamic numbers

if I plug in "ptnum" it returns

intString_0
intString_0
intString_0
intString_0
intString_0
intString_0
intString_0

So is this as good as it gets?

I have added an example file

hopefully we can find an answer, or may label this as a bug.

I'm by no means an expert on this, but I don't believe it's a bug. I think it's because of VEX's SIMD architecture and the fact that strings are shared across the parallel executions.

maby i need to make that vex vop to build the string after all. I started making it but stoped when i was certen i was reinventing the wheel.
