Concatenate chars and std::strings.

I have an std::string variable called filename, then a const char* name as a parameter of a function, a char* directory and then I also want to add the string "\testing\", how can I concatenate directory + "\testing\" + name?
I was doing filename = *directory + "/textures/" + *name; but it the value of filename remains "".

Thanks in advance.

BTW, I'm using MSVS 2003 with it's implementation of STL.

filename = directory + string("textures") + string(name);

Note that the first cast to string is optional as the compiler will detect that it needs to cast to string itself. The second and subsequent (unless you interleave real strings) will need the explicit cast.

God... I'm such a retard sometimes... Thanks mitakeet.
