How to seperate values in a string?

[TheMan1]

NEWB QUESTION.
I don't mean split. I mean just have multiple values making up a string.

ie. string tmp = "blah" + variable1 + variable2 + "blahblah";

This obviously doesn't work. How can I make all of this into one string?

So while that is pretty close to java code, you don't say what language you will be working in. Is this C or C++?

Did you look at strcat()?

I'm working in C++.
And I don't think strcat() is what I'm looking for. I just want to combine different things into one string.

What do you mean by different things?

Different variable types?

I fail to understand. You do want to create a larger string by joining up smaller strings, which is precisely what concatenation is. Perhaps the confusion lies over:

I just want to combine different things into one string.

To summarize, you have different variables, of different types, that you want to be combined into a string type. In the end, it's still concatenation, as all variables that aren't strings have to be turned into strings, then all those strings have to be concatenated.

My first thought when I saw your question was stringstream. Can you look up C++ stringstreams, and tell us if they are along the lines of what you are looking for?

Literals are of type char *. You'll have to typecast your literals as strings (or overload the + operator).

Do not use strcat or any of the C string library functions. They are all deprecated in C++.

Your example does work if it's coded correctly:

char variable1[] = "A";
 char variable2[] = "B";
string tmp =  "blah" + string(variable1) + string(variable2) + "blahblah";
 

You can't just have variable1 + variable2 since these are pointers and you can't add two pointers. Instead, you create temprary string objects for the operator+.

Thanks, that's just what I was looking for.
