   int x = atoi(str);
   atoi() is an ANSI standard function to convert an ascii
   string to an integer value.
   If you wanted to see how you might do this yourself:
int Int_from_Ascii(const char *szS)
{
   int iResult = 0, iSgn = 1;
   if(szS && *szS)
      for( ; *szS; szS++)
         if(isdigit(*szS))
         {
            iResult = iResult * 10 + *szS - '0';
         }
         else
            if('-' == *szS)
               iSgn = -1;
   return iResult * iSgn;
}
   It isn't pretty, and it isn't quick, but it should work.
   atoi() is much faster and much prettier. :)
