Read in char, convert to int or long

Zone: C Programming Language

Tags: c, convert, int, char, long

I am using read write in C to read in the first line of a file. Unfortunately, I have to read in each byte and store it into a buffer until end of line is reached.

Lets say I read in one byte at a time totaling 3 bytes...
while(*buffer != '\n');
{
read(fileName, buffer, 1);
printf(" Byte: %s", buffer);
}
output:
4
5
0
In order to convert this to an int = 450, do I have to create an array, then store each value into the array or concatenate strings then use atoi?
