    double, long, int ==> string conversion

    Hope someone can tell me how to convert from double, long and int to a string of a specified length. I also need to to pad the string with zeros.

    An example converting an int value:
    Code:
    #include <sstream>
    #include <string>
    #include <iostream>
    #include <iomanip>
    using namespace std;
    
    int main()
    {
        ostringstream ostr;
        string str;
        int iVal = 157;
    
        // Convert int value into string value with '0' padding to 7 places
    
        ostr << setw(7) << setfill('0') << iVal;
        str = ostr.str();
    
        // Output string
    
        cout << str << endl;
    
        return 0;
    }
    Output:
    Code:
    0000157
