Working with numbers and strings

#1 Have you tried

dAtof

#2 I'm using dAtof when converting the stored string value into the F32 value.

I'm just stuck on going the other way (F32 -> String (or char[]/char *))

#3 oh I see.. how about this

dSprintf(stor, sizeof(stor), "%f", stor);

#4 Sure, I'll give that a shot and report back.

*EDIT*

I must be doing something wrong somewhere, I'm still getting access violations from this code.

"This applications runtime has unexpectedly requested this application to code", or whatever that error is.

*EDIT 2*

And figured that out *slaps self*, turns out I was sending the wrong string data to AES (hence the invalid data error), now it's not correctly keeping the number in the storage, I'll take a crack at that in a bit.

#5 Ok, now I'm just outright confused.

The number values are being correctly stored in ONE of the class string objects, however once I try to encrypt the stored number value and try to "store" it in another class string variable, it just completely refuses to do so and just keeps the value (null) in the string.

PGDStore.h

#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include "console/PGDCrypto/cryptoPackage.h" //PGD Crypto Lib

#include "console/console.h"
#include "console/consoleInternal.h"

#define PGD_CONTAINER_DEBUG 1

using namespace std;

#ifndef pgdstore_H
#define pgdstore_H

class PGDStore {

   string currentEXP;
   string encEXP;
   string encOFF;

   public:
      void addCurrentEXP(const F32 add);
      void promoteOFF(string encrypted);
	  string getEXP();
	  string getOFF();
	  string getCurrentEXP();

	  F32 handleEndOfGame(string GUID);
	  void cleanCurrent();

	  string packageStoreForUpload(CryptoPP::Integer e, CryptoPP::Integer n);
	  void loadStore(string encEXP, string encOFF);
	  void checkData();

	  static void create();
	  static void destroy();
   protected:
      PGDStore();
      ~PGDStore();
};

extern PGDStore *store;

#endif

And my end of game function

F32 PGDStore::handleEndOfGame(string GUID) {
   F32 gameEXP, final, gameTotal;

   string currentGameEXP, myEXP, myEXP_encrypted;
   myEXP_encrypted = getEXP();

   if(myEXP_encrypted.compare("0") != 0) {
      pgdCry.AESDecrypt(GUID, myEXP_encrypted, myEXP, 1000);
   }
   else {
      myEXP = "0";
   }
   currentGameEXP = getCurrentEXP();

   gameTotal = dAtof(currentGameEXP.c_str());
   gameEXP = dAtof(myEXP.c_str());
   // perform addition
   final = gameEXP + gameTotal;

   if(PGD_CONTAINER_DEBUG) {
	   Con::printf("MY EXP: %fnTotal: %fnNow Have: %f", gameEXP, gameTotal, final);  
   }

   char stor[64];
   //encrypt the new variable
   dSprintf(stor, sizeof(stor), "%f", final);  
   pgdCry.AESEncrypt(GUID, string(stor), encEXP, 1000);
   if(PGD_CONTAINER_DEBUG) {
      Con::printf("applying EXP: %s", encEXP);
   }

   cleanCurrent();
   return final;
}

for some unknown reason, it is just completely refusing to store encEXP, which to the function AESEncrypt, the third var is a "Reference" output variable, which should be storing the data in the string.

I have no idea what's wrong, and not sure what to do at this point.

here's my console output when calling the function
