Hex String to Decimal long

[soup]

Hi, This must be really simple, but I am struggling with this. If I have a string such as: TCHAR hex[] = "0AF79E00"; How can I convert this into a long variable so I know it means: 184,000,000 Is this possible? :confused: Thanks in advance, Simon

There are some articles in CP about it. Check this and this Mazy "So,so you think you can tell, Heaven from Hell, Blue skies from pain,... How I wish,how I wish you were here."
