append val of int to a string

well the subject tells the story..

should be simple to do.. but my brain is drawing a blank :(

i have ...

int i;
string ret="A";

...
...
...

i need to append the value of i to the ret string...

the int is just a counter in a loop, the value of the string needs to end up being somthing like.. A1 or A2 ..

Code:

---

string ret("A");

    for(int i=50; i<=57; i++) // 50 is 1, 57 is 9
    {
    ret[1] = i;
    }

---

Don't forget to include <string>!

thanks for the reply.. but i got it.. i wasnt thinking!!!

for some reason i didnt think sprintf would print 2 vars to a string... so i fixed it like..

ret is now a char * ..

sprintf(ret, "%c%i", theAlphabet, i);

its alive!!!!!! hahahahahaha....

You might try:

int i = 1;
string ret="A";
char temp[100];


do{

sprintf( temp, "%i", i++ );

ret += temp;

}while(/*condition*/);


Actually, though, this would result in:

"A1", "A12", then"A123", etc...


Well you could do:

int i = 1;
string prep = "A";
char temp[100];


do{

string ret = prep;

sprintf( temp, "%i", i++);

ret += temp;


}while(/*condition*/);
