Appending and returning a string

I've got a class and one of its functions is to type out some information with the help of previous functions.

string printResult()
{
    string result;

    cout<<"\n"<<getName()<<" bla bla bla "<<getPoints()<<" blabla.";

    return result;
}

Where getName and getPoints are obviously those other functions.

My question is: How should I redo/change this part 

cout<<"\n"<<getName()<<" bla bla bla "<<getPoints()<<" blabla.";

to become a string of its own which I can return,with this exact content?

Use stringstream.

You can just use the append() member of std::string:

result.append(getName());
result.append(getPoints());

Assuming those functions return a string or a char*.

Use a stringstream

#include <sstream>

string printResult()
{
    ostringstream result;

    result<<"\n"<<getName()<<" bla bla bla "<<getPoints()<<" blabla.";

    return result.str();
}
