Converting from char to int

is there a function or something that converts a character number value like '42' to a decimal 42...

thanks for the help...
Lippy

yeh, toInt() ;)

In what language is this?

You can also type cast, just to let you know.


Example:

myString = (int) myString;

That depends on what language as well. In Java, if you do that, it wouldn't work as myString is most probably of type String, so casting it to an int and shoving it back in a variable with a data type of String wouldn't work.

Yep, thanks for pointing that out :)
I neglected to mention that the method I posted would work in C++

In C you can use the atoi() function, or create your own.

Thanks, that atoi function works great...
