STRTOL c funtcion (string to number)

[alexfish]

Hi All

whilst working on html2text I needed a function to continually extract sequential string numbers to real integers or long

hence found strtol , thing this may be of help to others


PROTO strol

LOCAL str = "202 2003" TYPE STRING
LOCAL hexnumb ="0xff" TYPE STRING
LOCAL binary = "00000001 11111111" TYPE STRING
LOCAL res TYPE long
LOCAL pEnd TYPE STRING
'hex string
res = strtol(binary,NULL,0)
'binary string Base(2) To DECIMAL can try others
res = strtol(hexnumb,NULL,0)

PRINT res


' strtol postion of number at first and second
res = strtol(binary,&pEnd,2)
PRINT res
res = strtol(pEnd,&pEnd,2)

PRINT res

' strtol postion of number at first and second

 res = strtol (str,&pEnd,10)

PRINT res
 res = strtol (pEnd,&pEnd,10)

PRINT res
