Ok, I'll write a save functions on my own.
I have still one question: I've often written something like this in my source code:

But this is wrong, because it allocates memory without a deallocation?
I should use _str() instead of str_create() ?

Yes, this is not the correct way to do it.
The unprofessional way to do it (aka my way) is to use some global temporary string:

STRING* str_tmp = "";
..
void dododo(var testnum)
{
str_cpy(str_tmp,"Test");
str_cat(str_tmp,str_for_num(NULL,testnum));
do something with str_tmp, for example "error()" it
}

Alternatively, you could create a string locally and remove it after use:


void dododo(var testnum)
{
STRING* str_tmp;

str_tmp = str_create(""); // of course you can write the "Test" content here, too
str_cpy(str_tmp,"Test");
str_cat(str_tmp,str_for_num(NULL,testnum));
do something with str_tmp, for example "error()" it

ptr_remove(str_tmp);
}


In your case specifically you can use str_printf:
str_printf(NULL,"Test%d",(int)testVar); // see manual -> digits/ format strings
