type convertion problem

In C, I'd use sprintf.




P.S. Using snprintf() is probably safer because it passes the size of the buffer to the function as well. This prevents buffer overruns.

2nd P.S Since you said you're coding in C++ ...

thanks a lot for the help!!

Hi again, am still getting some troubles

void func()
{
for ( int i = 1; i <= 128; ++i )
{
std::ostringstream myStream;
myStream <<"images/"<< i << ".pgm";


}
}

when am displaying it through cout<

ifstream indata;
indata.open(myStream.str());

i could have stored it in a string first like

char temp[10];
strcpy(temp,myStream.str());


but its unable to copy the string(probably because its not a string) into temp;but i need to use it with indata.open()
Any other alternatives?

std::ifstream indata(myStream.str().c_str());

The str() member function of a stringstream returns a std::string, but the std::ifstream constructor requires a const char *. Use the c_str() member function of std::string to obtain a const char * to the contained string data.

You're probably looking for the std::string member function c_str().

[Edit: never mind.]
