atoi and std::string
Author
How can i use atoi on std::string or is there another way to receive the number represented by a std::string object?
to use atoi:
std::string snumber = "42";
int i = atoi(snumber.c_str());
I almost always use atoi, but there are better ways I''m told.
I think stlsoft has converters...
you could use a stringstream and inserters/extracters:
stringstring sstrm(snumber);
sstrm >> i;
There are more. I''m sure somebody will enlighten us as to the "best" way
std::string snumber = "42";
int i = atoi(snumber.c_str());

Yes, use C++ string streams (

std::stringstream, std::istringstream, std::ostringstream), defined in sstream. [ Google || Start Here || ACCU || STL || Boost || MSDN || GotW || CUJ || MSVC++ Library Fixes || BarrysWorld || E-Mail Me ]

Thanks a bunch,
this version will do fine: int i = atoi(snumber.c_str());

atoi isnt standard c++
Use stringstreams, its just as easy
Not tested that.. correct me if its wrong

template<typename RT, typename T, typename Traits,typename alloc>RT better_atoi(const basic_string<T,Traits, alloc>& your_string){RT i;std::stringstream tempstream = your_string;tempstream >> i;return i;}Not tested that.. correct me if its wrong

Of course it is. It''s in C89, so it''s in C++. You''re thinking of itoa.
How appropriate. You fight like a cow.

It's not so much that it's wrong, it's just it could be more generic. See
boost::lexical_cast. Also note that initialisation of the basic_stringstream (hint) object, using its constructor, would be more favourable. [ Google || Start Here || ACCU || STL || Boost || MSDN || GotW || CUJ || MSVC++ Library Fixes || BarrysWorld || E-Mail Me ]

"Also note that initialisation of the basic_stringstream (hint) object, using its constructor, would be more favourable. "
Thats what the code does.. temp_string(my_string) is the same as temp_string = my_string ... Both call the constructor with the my_string parameter
Yes, correct. It's "syntactic sugar". Fleh, switching between languages. 
You're sort of nearly there. You need to choose to instantiate the string stream template with the right character type based on both the target and source types. Also it can be improved further (exceptions, limits/precision, etc.). As I've already said, boost::lexical_cast.

"atoi isnt standard c++"
Small point, but all the old C stuff that''s bundled in C++ *is* standard C++, meaning that a standards conforming compiler *must* support it. printf, strcpy, memcpy, etc. etc. etc. are all C++, but they are also C.
