Is it possible to combine a string and a boolean value?

I want to output to my printer the string "Status: True".
The "True" being derived from a boolean statement.
We can do this with strings and numbers using NUMTOSTR, to output something like "Status: 7".

Is there no statement akin to BOOLTOSTR?

Thanks!

nfgrufio,

depending on the platform you are working in you might be able to use .ToString() with your boolean variable.
Alternatively you can use the IFFString function.

I know very little (or nothing) about EasyLanguage, but in any language you can do it with if statements.

Sample pseudocode, alter to fit your language:

if (boolvar1)
strvar1 = "Status: True";
else
strvar1 = "Status: False";

Then you can send strvar1 to the printer or whatever else you would like.

Thank you for this suggestion! I was not aware of the IFFSTRING function.
This ended up being my solution.

A great workaround, thanks!
