concatenating a c++ string

No, it gives an error of:

error C2440: ''type cast'' : cannot convert from ''unsigned short'' to ''class std::basic_string,class st
d::allocator >''
No constructor could take the source type, or constructor overload resolution was ambiguous

(using VC++ 6.0)

Couldn''t you overload operator + for Strings and ints, doubles, etc, returning a reference to a String?

string name = "blabla";
unsigned int month = 12;
unsigned int day = 18;
unsigned int year = 2004;
stringstream ss; // Declared in <sstream>


ss << blabla << "\\" << day << "/" << month << "/" << "/" << year << ".trc";
string s = ss.str(); // Extract string

 

Stringstreams can also be used to read from, just like any other input streams (cin, file streams ...).

gahh...
It''s not String (a Java-ism?) it''s std::string.

You can use:

int v;
stringstream ss;
ss << "Hello this is an int: " << v << ....

and then convert the string stream to a string.

You can use wsprintf to format a char*.

You can use itoa().

Yep, the stringstream thingy worked like a charm
I''ve never heard of them, thanks guys! Just when I was ready to use sprintf. It''s not that I don''t like C but I''m trying to learn C++ and stick with it, don''t mix code. Thank you all for your time!
