Stupid Question : wchar_t to Int

[Mark Prenter]

Hi, I think I've got a really dumb question here: I started off with a
String* containing the string "03452". I took this value and converted it
to a __gc[] wchar_t array using ->ToCharArray(). So far so good. Now I've
got an array of single digits. This is what I want.

The first wchar_t array element now contains "0", the first character of my
original string. What I now want to do is convert this to an INT. So
instead of a char "0", it's an INT 0. I can't seem to figure out how to do
this. The closest I get is 48, which is the ASCII value of the char "0".
Please help. I've pulled out so much hair I've hardly got any left. How
can I do this?

Thanks,

Make sure that the character value is greater than or equal to '0' and less
than or equal to '9' then subtract '0'.

Cool!!

P.S. - I also noticed that I should have been using an __wchar_t....not a
wchar_t.

You can also compile with the /Zc:wchar_t compiler switch. wchar_t is a real
type according to the C++ standard. Visual C++ by default makes wchar_t a
typedef for an unsigned short. This switch directs the compiler to use the
standard conforming behavior.

Cheerio!
