Concat string and tag with Dyanmic Dialog / Text Reference

chrissss Posts: 12 Rating: (0)	I would like to concat a string and a tag value by using a Dynamic dialog. I tried using the strcat function but if I use it I can't use Indirect Addressing anymore. What I try to achieve is creating a "TEXT10" where TEXT is the string and 10 is the tag value and use this for referencing a Text Reference Tag. Any idea how to be able to get the text-reference by combinding a tag and a string?

chrissss Posts: 12 Rating: (0)	Thanks... Solved the problem by using sprintf and GetTagChar for getting the text from the Text Reference tag.
