String to integer

I'm coding a windows application, and I need to read a string and convert it to an integer.

Currently, I'm currently using _ttoi, which works as expected for a raw decimal integer. Now, what if I want to be able to use hex codes and such? Is there a function that can take a string like '0x32' and return the number 50?

Coding it by hand would be easy, I just figure there's got to be some kind of pre-written one out there.

Hehe, I was about to code a similar function just now for my own project, when suddenly I remembered a function from a long time ago. It's called sscanf(). It works the same as scanf() except that it uses a string for its first argument and a format string for the second argument (sort of like sprintf()). If you want, here's some code I tried out:

Code:
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
  char *foo = "F00";
  int x;

  sscanf(foo, "%X", &x);
  printf("Hex %s is dec %d", foo, x);
  return 0;
}


Hope this helps!

Beautiful. Using a %i formatting string does exactly what I wanted it to do: the user can enter either decimal or hexidecimal and the function will sort it out accordingly.

Thanks!
