I don't want to go trying to write a slipshod inefficient version myself if one exists as standard already

...and time and memory are factors.

example of what I want to do:
int var_name = 2457; [i]changetoascii[/i](var_name, char_array);

returns a char string to [2,4,5,7].

Anyone know of such a function?

Ask yourself what happens when you divide a number by 10.

What happens when you use the % operator?

Or CString.Format if you're using MFC in C++
