Question

First off, the function in question.

bool Animation::loadFrames()
{
        sf::Texture frame[frameCount];
        std::string pathToFrame;
        for(int i = 1; i < frameCount; i++)
        {
            pathToFrame = pathToAnimation + i + ".jpg";
            if(!frame[i].loadFromFile(pathToFrame)) return false;
        }
        return true;
}

The line that’s giving me trouble is

pathToFrame = pathToAnimation + i + ".jpg";

pathToAnimation is another std::string, frameCount is an int. I want to somehow make one string that looks like: “./Assets/Sprites/Player/Stand/1.jpg”

I know why my code doesn’t work, I just don’t know what the correct code would be.

In addition to Joachim’s answer, you may also use C++11’s new to_string functions to convert an int into a std::string

pathToFrame = pathToAnimation + std::to_string(i) + ".jpg";
