int to CString Conversion and vice versa

[Brandon]

Is there any function that will allow me to convert my integers to strings
and/or strings into integers? I could really use one or two right now.

int nTemp = 10;
CString cszTemp;

cszTemp.Format("%d", nTemp); //int to CString

nTemp = atoi(cszTemp); //CString to int

To convert a CString to an integer try using the following function
int = atoi(CString). I'm not sure about whether or not there is a function
that directly goes from int to CSTRing, but you can convert from int to a
char to a cstring in order to get around it.

itoa(int ivar,char * cvar,10)where 10 stands for base 10.
then CString svar = cvar;

int nNbr = 5;
CString strTemp;

// To CString
strTemp.Format("%d", nNbr);

// To Integer
nNbr = atoi(strTemp);

Yes, by using StringStream classes in C++ <sstream>, and it's ease of use
beats em all, hands down...it makes type conversions so automatic you don't
have to worry about memory mgmt or anything...try the following link on DevX:

I agree that using sstream is great for trivial tasks but there are times
when ease of use just doesn't cut it. I profiled the sstream method vs.
and atoi call and the difference is amazing. This is only a single value
so just imagine the performance hit in a large scale operation. Here are
the stats:

with strstream
Module Statistics for stringtest.exe
------------------------------------
Time in module: 5.013 millisecond
Percent of time in module: 100.0%
Functions in module: 937
Hits in module: 1145
Module function coverage: 20.8%

This 20.8 is the actual code that was profiled. the remaining 79.2 was spent
in sstream.

with atoi
Module Statistics for stringtest.exe
------------------------------------
Time in module: 0.006 millisecond
Percent of time in module: 100.0%
Functions in module: 5
Hits in module: 5
Module function coverage: 100.0%

You can definately see the time difference as well of the number of calls
that get made. You can also examine how much time was spent in calls that
were not profiled that were made to sstream. So this is great for tasks
that are not performance critical but think again when you have performance
issues.

I will try to give a small example which demonstrates how to convet from
int to CString and vice-versa.


1. Converting from int to CString

int a;
a=30;
CString csStr;
csStr.Format("%d",a);

MessageBox(csStr);
now csStr will contain "30".

2. Converting from CString to int; // i use atoi() function

CString csStr;
csStr = "45";
int b;
b = atoi(csStr);

now b will contain the value 30.

i hope this will help u.

Ramana.

Hi Ramana,

You've already got the right idea, but wrong approach. The simple way would
be to inherit from the CString class, and create your own class that supports
this funtionality that you have listed above.

Inheriting from CString for such a trivial task is not a good approach.
If this inherited class is intended to be used by others or for a more broad
usage then have at it. But to just do this trivial function, don't waste
your time.
