using :

int atoi(const char *s);
int _wtoi(const wchar_t *s);

Can this function "understand" hex input and convert it properly ?
E.g. similar to what AnsiString ToInt() can ?
E.g.
String test = "0xFF" ;
int value = test.ToInt() ; // will return a proper value (255)

But with atoi this doesn't work,
is it possible to tell atoi the text input is hex somehow ?
