How To Convert A Int Result From A Function To A Mstring?

How to convert a INT result from a function to a MString?

For example :

MGlobal::displayInfo(MString(sel.length()));

sel is a MSelectionList sel by the way.

thanks

Have you tried MString::operator +

MString str;

str += (int)2;

That is strange but it works.

Why is that so? Why isn't it like other languages where you would say something like :

string a;
int b;

a = (string)b; // CONVERT b to string

doing the other way around makes no sence?but if you have some more info on this i would gladly hear it

thanks a lot for helping here and the other questions

It's just the implementation of MString. You can't do this with C at all (hence sprintf). You can't do this in C++ with std:: string either.
