How do I convert a CString to an integer in C++ ?

A C++ code example how to convert a CString to an integer value as simple as possible.

atoi(strTmp)
and reverse:

strTemp.Format("%i", intValue)

'atoi()' is indeed an option, but does not really give you the necessary error-checking:

#include <stdlib.h>

int i;
char* pc;
CString str ( "1234");

i = (int) strtol ( ( LPCTSTR) str, &pc, 10);

if ( *pc)
{
 // error if conversion stopped on something other
 // that the null-terminator
}

Here's a more complete sample on conversion in general:

/* STRTOD.C: This program uses strtod to convert a
 * string to a double-precision value; strtol to
 * convert a string to long integer values; and strtoul
 * to convert a string to unsigned long-integer values.
 */

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

void main( void )
{
   char   *string, *stopstring;
   double x;
   long   l;
   int    base;
   unsigned long ul;
   string = "3.1415926This stopped it";
   x = strtod( string, &stopstring );
   printf( "string = %s\n", string );
   printf("   strtod = %f\n", x );
   printf("   Stopped scan at: %s\n\n", stopstring );
   string = "-10110134932This stopped it";
   l = strtol( string, &stopstring, 10 );
   printf( "string = %s", string );
   printf("   strtol = %ld", l );
   printf("   Stopped scan at: %s", stopstring );
   string = "10110134932";
   printf( "string = %s\n", string );
   /* Convert string using base 2, 4, and 8: */
   for( base = 2; base <= 8; base *= 2 )
   {
      /* Convert the string: */
      ul = strtoul( string, &stopstring, base );
      printf( "   strtol = %ld (base %d)\n", ul, base );
      printf( "   Stopped scan at: %s\n", stopstring );
   }
}
