Thread: C-style strings and arrays?

I trying to read data from a file to a c-string, then go through the string and convert the ascii chars to 5 to 6 digits numbers, but im having trouble.
The file looks looks like this: computer technology are part of just about everything...and so on
I've already read it to the c-string but how do I the ascii to 5-6 digits numbers?
Here's the code: What am I doing wrong?

Code:

void CheckArray(char inputfilename[], char charStringValue[])
{
// initialize variables

  ifstream input;
  char x;
  int index;
  int size;
  int y = 0;

  input.open(inputfilename);

  input >> charStringValue[x];
  while (input.good()) {
    cout << DecodeChar(charStringValue[x]) << " ";
    input >> charStringValue[x];

  }
  int DecodeChar(char c) {
    return (int (c - 32));

  }

What do you mean '5-6 digit numbers'

> return (int (c - 32));
Any ASCII character going through this transformation is going to be between 0 and 95.
