Hi guys,
just started to get into Dlang, comming from C and C++ I like 
to use methods like there if possible.

Now I want to catenate something like this, but don't get it to 
work
in standard C i code:
   char str[80];
   sprintf(str, "This is a number = %f", 3.14356);

Now in Dlang and import core.stdc.string and
code:
    char [80] str;
    sprintf(str, "This is a number = %d", 314356);
    writefln("%s", str);


sprintf(str.ptr, "This is a number = %d".toStringz,314356);

but get error
Error: function core.stdc.stdio.sprintf (char* s, const(char*) 
format, ...) is not callable using argument types (char[80], 
string, int)


because in D arrays do not decay to pointers. To get a null 
terminated string use toStringz

Nor does this work
   char [50] temp = "This is a number";
   string greeting5= temp~" "~314356;
   writefln("%s",greeting5);


add a to!string

314356.to!string

result in error:
Error: incompatible types for ((cast(const(char)[])temp ~ " ") 
~ (314356)): 'char[]' and 'int'


Any ideas or hints?
