   All,   
      
   I have a sinerio  for given string to print as "HELP01001" or "HELP011" -   
      
   1. Initial string from left is "HELP" for first-four characters and fixed.   
   2. Another has string or int value as "01" or 1 for fifth - sixth   
   characters from left and fixed.   
   3. Final third being a string or int value as "000" or 1 for seventh -   
   ninth characters from left. This final string should be able to print   
   values from 1 - 999.   
      
   Together, I have to print as -> HELP01001  with the last three digits   
   from right being incremented when needed e.g HELP01001, HELP01002,   
   HELP01003 and so on..   
      
   A small test code I tried below for above -   
      
   --   
   #include    
   #include    
   #include    
      
   using namespace std;   
      
   int main() {   
   string id = "X1";   
   int value=23;   
   ostringstream strm;   
   strm <<"HELP"<
