Re: Using two sprinti calls in one string

Thanks Kyle,

The '+' error was a typo, I had had it correct before, but through deleting and retyping I lost it.

I thought I had tried that solution (but then thought it was too silly to type), but I must have gotten it wrong because I've tried it again and it's working now,

Thanks,
Ciara

Hi Ciara,
If that is the exact code you have in your script, you have two problems. First, you should also always use i in the format string of sprinti, regardless of the variable you are using. You should also add a + after your first sprinti call to ensure proper concatenation of the strings (although it seems to have worked partially without that +, which is interesting). The end of your string should look more like this:
sprinti("%0.4i",i) + " / " + sprinti("%0.4i",j)

See examples 2 and 3 on the sprinti page for more guidance.

I want to add a title to my graph that says "Average Winter Temperature i/j" where i and j are years that the script is running through.

The script I have is:

but the title I am getting is: Average Winter Temperature i /

The second year does not appear.

Can anyone tell me how I can use two sprinti calls in one string?
