Converting String to Integer in C

Quick programming question:

How would I convert a string "1,756" into an integer using C?

I tried the atoi function but I get back "1" -- I believe the comma in the string is the cause of my trouble

Strip out the commas first. You could use sscanf if the string is always that format but I'd just use atoi after removing the commas.

Thanks for the suggestion, I took your advice and found a function to do just that:

char* squeeze(char s[], int c)
{
int i, j;

for(i = j = 0; s != '\0'; i++)
if (s != ','){
s[j++] = s;
}

s[j] = '\0';

return s;
}

I know a few things about C/C++, but God do I hate programming.

Yet it's so appealing to me at the same time.

I don't mind programming, it's just that I do it so infrequently that I lose a lot of what I learned in previous programming efforts. I like it from time to time actually, it is a nice change of pace. I could see how people would make a career out of it, there is always a certain degree of satisfaction when you finally figure out how to make your code do what it was intended to do.
