Hi All,

I want to typecast int to std::string how can i do it.

Here is the sample code.

int NewList[500];

//Fill the NewList with integers values.
......
......

//Replace the file contents with new list values at a specified location.

int i=0;
std::string line;
ifstream inFile(sample);//opens a file to read
while (getline (inFile, line) )
 {

  int comma1Pos = line.find(',');
  int comma2Pos = line.find(',', comma1Pos+1);

  int numChars = comma2Pos - comma1Pos - 1;

  line.erase(comma1Pos+1, numChars); //
  line.insert(comma1Pos+1, (std::string)NewList[i]);
i++;
 }
inFile.close();

In the above code the function insert takes 2nd argument as a string so i
was trying to type cast NewList[i] to string.
The complier throws a type cast error saying type cast int to string is not
possible.

Is there any way i can type cast the same.

regards,
Venkat
