C create string of text and variables

Question

I m trying to do something very simple and yet  after an hour of so of searching a I can t find a suitable answer so I must be missing something fairly obvious   I m trying to dynamically create filenames for use with ifstream  Whilst I understand various methods are available of doing this  I have settled on creating a std  string  and the using stringname c str to convert to const   The problem is however that I need to create the string with a mix of variables and predefined text values  I m getting compiler errors  so this must be a syntax issue   Pseudo   std  string var    sometext    somevar    sometext    somevar    Thanks

std  string var    sometext    somevar    sometext    somevar    This doesn t work because the additions are performed left-to-right and  sometext   the first one  is just a const char    It has no operator  to call  The simplest fix is this   std  string var   std  string  sometext     somevar    sometext    somevar    Now  the first parameter in the left-to-right list of   operations is a std  string  which has an operator  const char     That operator produces a string  which makes the rest of the chain work   You can also make all the operations be on var  which is a std  string and so has all the necessary operators   var    sometext   var    somevar  var     sometext   var    somevar
