You won't find reference to integer-to-string conversions because they do not exist. Cold Fusion was designed and written as a typeless language. There is no difference between a number and a string.

If you want to manipulate the zeros you may do so at any time without any conversion. What exactly are you trying to do?

Hello,

Is it possible to convert a number to a string? For example, if I have the number 1 formatted as 00000001 and I wanted to convert that to a string "00000001" to then manipulate the '0's as characters. Is this possible? I can go from strings to integers, but I don't seem to be able to go the other way. I feel as though I'm missing something really basic - but I haven't found it in any reference.

Any help greatly appreciated.
