Ya, I didn't want the extra '*', that was just a typo. Thanks for the info on the sprintf, is there any plan for float support? Seems silly there is support for float as a general use data type, but not in sprintf.
BTW, I forgot to tell you earlier, typecasting gets rid of the warning, but not the error. If I type case to double, I just get "(NULL)" in the resulting string.
