String Conversion

[Kernel_Killer]

Is there any way in C++ to convert ASCII strings to a Bin or Hex value?

What do you exactly mean?

Well, if I have a string of characters, can I get the ASCII value of each character some way?

Let me explain what I'm wanting to do. I have a string array holding cards from a deck. 2-A and the ASCII characters 0x0003-6. since it's in a string, I'm having a bit of trouble comparing the values against each other. I thought if I could get them in Bin or Hex, it would make my comparisions easier.

would making them duel array's, one with the string and one with a number value work?

If you are using std::string then you can compare strings directly:

string a("hullo");
string b("hello");
if( a == b )
{
//--
}

I'm aware of the string comparision, it's just for this in particular I need to compare with bits, or nex values. My ASCII characters are also going to play a part in the comparision.

OK, I found out how to do this in *ack* .NET, but not ANSI. I'll post later if I can find a way.
