_strdate and ints, help

[Xoled]

so i have

 char dateStr [9];
          char timeStr [9];
          _strdate( dateStr);
                   _strtime( timeStr );

I know i can transform strings into ingeters using atoi, but how do i get only the X's in XX/XX/XXXX, the question is, how do i break down the string?

Use a combination of strchr() and strtol() in a loop. Strtol reads up until the first non valid character (i.e non numeric) and strchr() returns a pointer to the character you are looking for, in this case '/'. Atoi() is depricated, use strtol() instead.
