Assiging a char value to an integer variable will convert the data to integer internally. i mena you need not do any external conversion.

I would recommend looking into the atoi() function.

Because your date is in a single string, you will have to parse it out. However, that post was just to answer your "string to int" question. I would recommend doing something different entirely and using a date class. You can use a format to give your class the same format your string is in, and then create a date object passing that string to the constructor. Then you'll be able to call the day, month, year, whatever, individually.

PS - you would have been able to find the function more quickly if you had done a Google search of "c (or c++) string to int".

atoi() is OK in C but is deprecated in C++.

Are you using C++?
