How do I convert an integral value to a string in C++?

This is what I've tried:

for(size_t i = 0;vecServiceList.size()>i;i++)
{
    if ( ! vecServiceList[i].empty() )
    {
        string sService = "\t" + i +". "+  vecServiceList[i] ;
    }
}

And here is the error:

invalid operands of types 'const char*' and 'const char [3]' to binary 'operator+'

You could use a string stream:

#include <sstream>

...


for (size_t i = 0; ... ; ...)
{
    std::stringstream ss;

    ss << "\t" << i << vecServiceList[i];

    std::string sService = ss.str();

    // do what you want with sService
}
