    A problem with loops and Stringstreams

    Hi, I have the following code:

    Code:
        ostringstream temp;
        
        for(int i=2; i<x; i++)
        {
                if((x%i)==0) {
                             hasFactors=1;
                             temp << i ;
                             output += temp.str(); 
                }
        }
    .

    It is designed to factorise the number x and display all the factors in the variable 'output'.

    But there is a trouble. Say 12 was the number for instance.

    You would expect output (which is a string btw) to equal "2346". Instead it equals

    "2 23 234 2346" without the spaces (I added them for clarity). Is there a way that I can get the effect that I want.

    Thanks in advance,
    mintsmike.

    Don't add the contents of the stringstream (which keeps growing) to the output string at each iteration?
    I might be wrong.

    Thank you, anon. You sure know how to recognize different types of trees from quite a long way away.
