How do I convert scalar to word

bala_gk1988 · January 7, 2016, 05:29

I want to convert a number to a string in openfoam.

Code:

scalar count(11);
    word fieldName(count);
    Info << fieldName << endl;

If I execute the above piece of code I get the following error

word::stripInvalid() called for word
For debug level (= 2) > 1 this is considered fatal
Aborted (core dumped)

What seems to be the problem here?
Thankyou

Never mind. Converting scalar to word should be done like this

Code:

word fieldName(name(i));

you can use name function. like this:

Code:

scalar a(0);

word b =Foam::name(a);

the name function defined here

$FOAM_SRC/OpenFOAM/primitives/ints
