how would i convert a string to a float or an integer? thx in advance The wymsical wyvern

Off the top my head I think that strtol() converts strings to long ints.

You can also use atol or atoi.

atoi() - string to integer
atof() - string to float
atol() - string to long

When programming in Windows, atoi and atol are both the same!

That's just my 200 bucks' worth!

Are you asking about the STL string class? or character arrays?

I''d use the atoi(), atol(), atof() as posted above but there is another solution if you want to be Mr. C++ guy (I''m doing this from memory so this may not be perfect):

#include
#include


std::string str( "400" );
std::istringstream ss( str );
int i;

ss >> i;

Somebody had a similar question before and some dude posted about using sprintf to do it... I''m not a C guy so I don''t remember what he did... but that seemed the easiest..
