    Best way to convert ascii UART characters??

    Hello...
    I have a UART and am sending 4 characters + return character....Example:

    '32', '34', '41', '33', '0d' (24A3 + return)...the 2 is a command and will be used in a switch statement. I would somehow?? strip 2 and convert 4A3 to an integer....I am not sure how or even if I should use atoi for this....
    Any help would be appreciated...

    Thanks

    Well if you have all the characters in a buffer, like

    char buff[] = "24A3\r";

    Then strtol, strtoll - cppreference.com
    long x = strtol(&buff[1], NULL, 16);
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
