Hello,
i have to load images in my c++ program. The name of the images is numeric , i mean like 1.png 2.png and so on..
is there any way to load all of them together using a loop
rough code :

C++

for(int i = 0; i<10 ; i++)
loadfile (i".png") ;

instead of loading them one by one
loadfile("1.png");
loadfile("2.png"); 
.

i know what i wrote is stupid, but this is what i want to do :P

As you can see from solutions... in general terms... turn the name into a string and use the string as the file name loaded into your function, and there's a variety of ways of doing so.

Solution 1

In your loop, try something like:

C++

std::ostringstream name;
name << i << ".png";
loadfile (name.str());

i tried but its not working for me :/
what exactly i want to do is load 10 image handles into an array
ImageAdd("Assets/1.png");
ImageAdd("Assets/2.png");
so on to 10
now how can i load them using an array instead of typing all the statements one by one ..

What is not working?

What errors are you getting?

Are you stepping through the code with the debugger?

Do you see how my file name is subtly different than yours?

Can you determine what you need to change to adapt my example to your needs?
