Question

This is what I am trying to do:

int x = 0;
char toBuffer;
while (twenty_byte_buffer[x] != '\0') // While the string isn't at the end...
{
cout << int(twenty_byte_buffer[x]); // show me, works fine

//need to concat the int values from above into toBuffer as a string
//eg. "-62-8711097109" would have derived from this "©nam"

//this doesn't work:
//strcat ( toBuffer, reinterpret_cast<*????*>(twenty_byte_buffer[x]) );

x++;
} 

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Use a stringstream. It works just like cout:

stringstream sstr;
while (twenty_byte_buffer[x] != '\0')
{
    sstr << int(twenty_byte_buffer[x]);
    x++;
}

string result = sstr.str();
