printing to a buffer

In C, I would do something like this... sprintf(buffer, "blah blah %d", i); Is there a more C++ way of doing it?

#include <iostream>

#include <string>

#include <sstream>


using namespace std;


int main()
{
	ostringstream cppsprintf;
	string somestring;

	int someint = 9;

	cppsprintf << "The world is my "<< someint << ".";

	somestring = cppsprintf.str();
	cout << somestring << endl;
	return 0;
}


If you like sprintf though, no reason why you shouldn't use it. If it works, it works.

Thanks pal, I guess I was just curious. sprintf() does seem easier to use.
