Convert Integer to String Jinja

I have an integer

{% set curYear = 2013 %}

In {% if %} statement I have to compare it with some string. I can't set curYear to string at the beginning because I have to decrement it in loop.

How can I convert it?

I found the answer.

Cast integer to string:

myOldIntValue|string

Cast string to integer:

myOldStrValue|int

The OP needed to cast as string outside the {% set ... %}. But if that not your case you can do:

{% set curYear = 2013 | string() %}

Note that you need the parenthesis on that jinja filter.

If you're concatenating 2 variables, you can also use the ~ custom operator.

could use this on set_fact in ansible

'{0:d}'.format(myOldIntValue)
