Difficulty appending a local buffer to a string value.

Projects Programming

Please excuse my terminology if not perfect.

I'm trying to combine a string value with a local buffer containing time and date.
I can't seem to get the syntax correct or find an example of this.

char buf1[20];
String mess1 = "Stored text";
sprintf(buf1, "%02d:%02d  %02d/%02d/%4d", hour(), minute(), month(), day(), year());
//mySerial.println(buf1);   // operates perfect
mySerial.println(mess1 buf1);  // Does not compile - error: expected `)' before 'buf1'

Any suggestions appreciated.

Comma missing

I have tried adding a comma between elements as below, that also causes compile errors (many more).

mySerial.println(mess1, buf1);

This method doesn't include the buf1 in the result:

mySerial.println(mess1),(buf1);
4 
mySerial.print(mess1)
mySerial.println(buf1)

Ok

I tested this:

mySerial.println(mess1);
mySerial.println(buf1);

But it produces a CR and LF, so the result is:
"Stored text

13:30 04/13/2013"

I need this: "Stored text 13:30 04/13/2013"

print() not println() which adds a linefeed

See Arrch's example.

Oh, Yes I see.

I corrected to the print() and it worked great.

Thanks.
