Thread: Converting question

I need to convert a character input into numbers. For instance, in this example:

127.0.4.56

Since this is not a float, I need to convert 127, 0, 4, and 56 into numbers. My question is how can I read those numbers separately.... use an array? use a particular input stream? or something else??

Thanks.

Here's one way -

Code:

#include <iostream> 
#include <sstream>
using namespace std; 

int main() 
{ 

	stringstream ss;
	int a,b,c,d;
	char discard;
	char* str = "127.0.4.56";
	
	ss << str;
	ss >> a >> discard >> b >> discard >> c >> discard >> d;
	
	cout << a  << ' ' << b << ' ' << c << ' ' << d;

	return 0; 
}

just out of curiousity, what the heck is <sstream>? I have never seen it in my life.

Thank giys for your info. I'll see if it works.
