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;
}

you can use atoi() and take advantage of the fact that atoi() stops at non-numeric input so the . delimeter will not be a problem

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

I would do what stoned_coder says... parse an array of your individual character sets with the '.' as a delimiter and then atoi() each result....

Its a string stream. works like sprintf() and sscanf()

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