This is one of those questions that any experienced C programmer can answer before starting to think about it: atoi()or atol(). It is also an obvious RTFM question, and is discussed in some depth in K&R. Please, in cases like this DON'T post the answer -- email it if you must reply. Some of the posted answers were not really correct, but this doesn't invalidate my point, merely adds another: Please don't post answers if you aren't pretty much of an expert yourself. Robert
