C++ create string of text and variables

Have you considered using stringstreams?

#include <string>
#include <sstream>

std::ostringstream oss;
oss << "sometext" << somevar << "sometext" << somevar;
std::string var = oss.str();

In C++11 you can use std::to_string:

std::string var = "sometext" + std::to_string(somevar) + "sometext" + std::to_string(somevar);
