Help

I cant figure out how to use the atoi function....
So Maybe its not wht I need.

How can I do this

Code:

---

int number;
char string1[20];

ifstream fin("file.dat");
fin >> string1;

if(number > string1) dofunction();

---

See, string1 contains pure numbers, but it must be a char to get the info from file, right?

:confused:

if(number > atoi(string1)) dofunction();

Thank you

Why not read in an integer?

Code:

---

int number;
int number_2;

ifstream fin("file.dat");
fin >> number_2;

if(number > number_2) dofunction();

---

oh.... Wow, I feel stupid.... Thank You!
