How to extract integer value from CString

[Ravi Sankar S]

Hello All, I have to get integer value which is stored in a CString object. My code CString str = "-123"; int i; sscanf (str, "%d", &i); This is what i followed. Is there any better approach than this? Thanks for your time Ravi

Try this Ravi: CString str = "-123"; int i = atoi((LPCSTR)str); If it didn't work, simply remove '(LPCSTR)'

Hi Ravi, We have ready made function for data conversion. You can use the following function to convert CString to int. CString str = "-123"; int i = atoi(str); This may be helpful you. Regards, Venkat

we can use that CString class method such as string Format CString str = " "; int i; i = str.Format("%d",str);

no, CString::Format() only formats a string with some parameters to put into the CString object... there's no function into the CString class to make the opposite operation. moreover, here is what MSDN tells us :

void __cdecl Format(
UINT nFormatID,
[, argument]...
);
void __cdecl Format(
PCXSTR pszFormat,
[, argument]...
);

CString::Format() don't return anything !!

LPCSTR is not necessary. CString has a built-in operator that returns a LPCTSTR.
