CString to Numeric Value

[si_69]

Hi All does any one know what would be the best way to convert a CString containing only characters to a numeric value. for example CString str = "AFG" output to be say int 653790; and each time you convert the str, you get the same result Thanks Si :)

Did you try atoi or _atoi64 ? MS

What about converting each character of the string to it's ASCII code (__toascii) assemble the results to a number ? I hope you understand what I mean, my english is not the best. MS

A simple function would do for that!

CString GetASCIICodedString(CString& srcString)
{
    CString srcResult, srcBuffer;

    for(int nIndex = 0; nIndex < srcString.GetLength(); nIndex++)
    {
        srcBuffer.Empty();
        srcBuffer.Format("%d", srcString.GetAt(nIndex));
        srcResult += srcBuffer;
    }

    return srcResult;
}

This should work... I've not compiled it, just some rough code, so please test it properly. * Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity! *

Is possible, please let me know if this helped, or if it gave you any further problems! * Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity! *

srcBuffer.Empty(); seems extraneous. /ravi My new year's resolution: 2048 x 1536 Home | Articles | Freeware | Music ravib@ravib.com
