[LUG] C++ Question

["Sam Grabham" <sam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

 

I have been trying to pass a string and a number via the command line, and then setting varibles for use later on in the code.

 

When i pass say 23 as the second param i get a larger number set to "nMinutesIn" variable. If i cout << argv[2]; then i will get the 23 value,

so if the argv[2] is a char type how do i convert to a int?

 

I also would be greatfull for any advise for compairing dates, I want to create a funtion that acts like dateadd() function.

 

I am finding it hard to find c++ generic sample code on the web, As lots of sample code is using windows apis etc.

 

Anyone know of some good urls?

 

my problem sample code below:

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
   struct stat fileInfo;
   unsigned int nMinutesIn=0;
   string searchPath="";

 

    searchPath = string(argv[1]);
    nMinutesIn = int(argv[2]);

 

 

Regards

 

 

Sam
