Using ATOI (vex)

[Arthur Spooner]

I have a string called iop; s@iop = "sphereAdj"; followed by I want to convert the string into an integer

int atoi ("sphereAdj"); I get an error, I also tried the string attribute, in other words; int atoi (iop) but got an error as well ?

well atoi() converts string that represents integer number into an integer number, like :

i@foo = atoi("123");

will give you 123 as an integer

so it can't be any any random string, you will get 0 with non-numeric string however, not an error, so if you got an error, your syntax was probably not correct

but to get an integer number from any string you can maybe use random_shash()

i@foo = random_shash("sphereAdj");

I didn't store atoi into a attribute type as in this case a int ! Thanks !
