a question about something but I dont know what to call it

Lets say I had two commands:

Code:

---

if (!strcmpi("command 1", command))
if (!strcmpi("command 2", command))

---

and each of these did something very similar, such as

Code:

---

executecommand(1);
//or
executecommand(2);

---

Is there a way I can instead check to see what number was entered, perhaps:

Code:

---

if ('3'==command[9])

---

and then, somehow, convert that 3 from a char to an integer and then do

Code:

---

executecommand(integer);

---

Yes, as you mentioned you pick the character with command[8] (note: 8, not 9) then convert it to a number.

If you have 9 commands:

Code:

---

if((Command[8] >= '1') && (Command[8] <= '9'))
{
  ExecuteCommand(Command[8] - '0');
}

---

If you have a number in ascii form, subtract '0' and you'll get the 'real' number.

That is slightly incorrect.

Code:

---

if((Command[8] >= '1') && (Command[8] <= '9'))

would be what'd do the trick.

Also, if all digits ('0'-'9') are to be utilized, then std::isdigit (<cctype>) can be used instead of this condition.

Whops, my fault :cool:
