icon is a char, num is an integer.
I don't suppose there is an easier way to do this?

It's too late and ma brains is mushy.

If I understood the problem correctly:

icon = text(num)[0];

-- or --

icon = cast(char)('0' + num);

Are you trying to convert a single-digit number?

import std.stdio;
void main() {
    int x = 5; // in [0 .. 10]
    char c = cast(char)(x + '0');
    writeln(c);
}

Bye,

 You've also got std.ascii.digits which is "0123456789" and
 std.string.digits which is an alias of it, so you can say:
 
 import std.ascii; (or std.string)
 
 int x = 5;
 char c = std.ascii.digits[x];
 



I used similar solution to bearophile's before. I must admit i did not know 
about std.ascii.digits[], thanks for the info Regan.

Nice.  Exactly what I was looking for.
I knew I was missing something tiny.

Now I just need to figure out why that works and I can say I've learned
something!
Thanks guys,
Jude
