adding strings?

is there a way of adding a phrase to a string together to make one?
i already know you can add two strings togethor.

sort of like this

Code:

---

cout<<"Path: "; cin>>filename;
             
              string dir = "dir " + filename;

---

If inserting strings or characters to the front or back is not sufficient, you can always use one of the insert member functions, like this version which uses iterators:

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

int main ()
{
    std::string part[] = {"mystuff", "/path/to/"};

    part[0].insert(part[0].begin() + 2, part[1].begin(), part[1].end());

    std::cout<<part[0]<<'\n';
}

---

Choose a function which you can understand and will do the job you need to do.

Are you having a problem? If filename is a string then the posted code should compile fine.
