converting ansistring to int

tommycahir

i have this piece of code to take a value from an inputbox then convert it to an int then assign to a structure but it keeps telling me that i have clled an undefined function even thoughj i have included the vcl\dstring.h header file

value is declared as an int

AnsiString InputString = InputBox("Input Box", "Please enter the value for the gate", "0");
value = ToIntDef(InputString);
newconnector->Value = value;
could any one help??

tanx for trying

Hmm k.. Try
int value = InputString.ToIntDef(-1);
This does the same thing iirc except if it tries to convert a string to an int it will return -1

int convert_ansi_int(AnsiString str) 
{

return atoi(str.c_str());

}

// this is equililebt of this (  I think)
int convert_ansi_int(AnsiString str) 
{

char * tempStr = str.c_str();
int num = atoi(tempStr);
return num;

}
