Hi,

I don't know of any way that is both good and easy.
atoi() is easy to use, but not very good. Both atoi("2") and atoi("2Hello") will be returned as 2.

Better, but not as easy is

char* endp = 0;
long i = strtol(s, &endp, 10);
if (*endp == '\0')
// It's a number.

Not even this is perfect. If you want to accept trailing blanks, you have to complicate it further. And I don't know how well it works in a totally international program. E.g. I don't know if it accepts Arabic digits (٠١٢٣٤٥٦٧٨٩).

Hi,

I don't know if Glib has functions to perform such a check, but standard C does:

If you know that the string's digital value cannot be 0, then you can also check a non-null return to atoi or atol (in cstdlib).

Thank you for your prompt response.

I am sorry, I don't think I explained myself well enough. If the user
enters the number 24 in an Gtk::Entry, how can I check if the entry is
actually a number and not a character string?

thank in advance

Does Glibmm provide a way to convert an character value to an integer value?

TIA
