I'm trying to update a string easily whenever I change a numeric component of the string. I've tried to do this so far with no result:

while( testInt < 10 )
string testString = "Test ";
int testInt = 0;
testString ~= toString(testInt)
testInt++;

or this:

testString ~= cast(string)(testInt)

Both of these give an error.

This however does not, but it also doesn't seem to update testString

I've also tried this:

testString ~= cast(char)(testInt);

It doens't throw an error, but it doesnt' seem to work either.

For the record, i'm not using writln to print to console, this is through SDL and OpenGL so it should be a string.

Try this:

	import std.conv;
	...
	int i = 1234;
	string s = to!string(i);

Thanks, that did the trick.
