Integer conversion help

[Altman]

I am trying to write a program to write to the com port. I have some sample
code and it says to use the function
hComm = CreateFile("COM2",
GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE,
0,
0,
OPEN_EXISTING,
0,
0);
where if it is com 1 then the first argument is "COM1". I want to make this
programatically though where I set the com port as a short and convert it to
"COM" + STR(sComPort). I am still quite new to C++ and I need to know how
to do this.

the most straightforward is probably something like:

char name[5];
sprintf_s(name, 5, "COM%d", number);

CreateFile(name ...


done!
