ascii char to decimal conversion

[Guest]

This may be a dumb question, but i cant seem to find the solution. I have commands coming in from rs232 and i need to convert the ascii values to decimal values.

"Command01" converted and assigned to
int8 command = 1;

or more simply:
"255" converted and assigned to
int8 command = 255;

I dont see any built in function and dont see how sprintf or printf can help???

Thanks

It's called - atoi() for ASCII to int - this is part of the standard C library and is in every C compiler I have ever seen.
