How to attach an integer to a string?

[vedan]

Hi,

 

I got 45 textures I want to cycle on a line (TID 191). Since I named them "GIFA1000" to "GIFA1044", I thought of a loop like this:
 

str file1 = "GIFA";
int file2 = 1000;
str file = file1 + file2;       // <--- THIS DOES NOT WORK
while (TRUE) {
    if (file2 < 1045) {

        SetLineTexture(191, SIDE_FRONT, TEXTURE_TOP, file);

        file2 += 1;
        file = file1 + file2;   // <--- THIS DOES NOT WORK
    } else {file2 = 1000;}
}

 

...but in ACS, there seems to be no explicit way of converting a number into a string.

 

I found a forum with a collection of string functions, but these only included the opposite of what I need (string to integer instead of integer to string).

 

So, is there a way? The funny thing is that print(s:file1, d:file2) gives the exact output of what I need, but I cannot get it into a string variable.

 

Bye!
