I am in the process of writing a simple card game in order to learn c++.

I have a deck of cards from David G (Thanks David )
http://forumfiles.thegamecreators.com/?i=956493

edit : Here is the forum page http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=67876&b=1&p=20

I need to load 52 cards as objects deck01.x, deck02.x through deck52.x

Would anyone be able to write a function in c++ that can concatinate the string "Deck" the integer and the string ".x"

Thanks in advance

Codger

One way is to use sprintf to print formatted data to a buffer. Just make sure the buffer is large enough.

I do that tooo - In fact - I have a 1024 byte or so buffer I put in a "global Namespcce" for quick operations like that. Considered bad practice by some I'm sure - but - as long as you just use it and be done with it - you can have one buffer shared by all.

In fact - my "Print Statements look kinda like:

Yeah, sprintf works especially well there. If you were just appending it you could use StrCat.
