Easy C++ question

[desteffy]

say i have a string and an integer, how do i combine them into a new string?

convert the integer into a string.

Many methods exist. sprintf, itoc, etc

Using sprintf would allow you to use formatting to place the string and integer in the order that you desire.

you can send both of them into a stringstream with << and then get the resulting string as output.

One of my favorites for building SQL queries.

OMG thanks i never knew about the stringstream class. I looked it up in my book and my problems are solved.

Thanks also, these were the kinds of things i was trying before but having trouble with.

sprintf is legacy C stuff (won't work with std::string), not to mention a very common source of buffer overflows.

itoc must be some platform-specific thing.

stringstream is the way!
