    Command line arguments

    Hey,

    I am new to writing programs that take command line arguments, and I wonder if you could help out. I have a program that takes two integers as input. But the command line puts them into argv as strings. Is there a simple way to convert, say, 11111 from a string to the actual number 11111?

    TIA

    What, you mean using the standard C "convert string to number" functions like strtol?
