String Array to Binary Number Conversion

[Delali Dzirasa]

Does anyone know of the fastest way to convert a CString of numbers ie
"00000001" to the binary representation in an int?

for example

CString myVal = "00000001";

int myIntVal = 0;

myIntVal = CStringToBinary(myVal);

where the "CStringToBinary" function is what I am looking to find.


the int representation should be 1 or in hex 0x01


Any help is greatly appreciated.

Here we discuss standard C++. We don't know what 'CString' is.

There's no 'CString' type in standard C++. I can show you
how to convert a 'std::string' containing text representing
a binary value to an integer type.

You'll need to figure out how to convert from 'CString'
to 'std::string'. This is indeed possible, look up
the 'CString' and 'std::string' member functions.


Also, since there's no way to determine the which binary
representation an implementation uses, it doesn't really make sense
to try to represent the binary pattern of a signed type
like that. So my example below uses an unsigned int instead
of signed.

for example

CString myVal = "00000001";

int myIntVal = 0;

myIntVal = CStringToBinary(myVal);

where the "CStringToBinary" function is what I am looking to find.

#include <bitset>
#include <climits>
#include <iostream>
#include <stdexcept>
#include <string>

unsigned int binstr2uint(const std::string& s)
{
const std::string::size_type
max_bits(sizeof(unsigned int) * CHAR_BIT);

if(s.size() > max_bits)
throw "[binstr2uint]: Too many digits in input\n";

return (std::bitset<max_bits>(s).to_ulong());
}

int main()
{
std::string s("101010101");

try
{
unsigned int i(binstr2uint(s));

std::cout << "s == " << s << '\n'
<< "i == " << i << '\n';

}
catch(const char *e)
{
std::cout << e << '\n';
}
catch(std::invalid_argument&)
{
std::cout << "[binstr2uint]: Invalid digit in input\n";
}

return 0;
}


Output:

s == 101010101
i == 341

int myIntVal = 0;
const char* ptr = myVal;
while (*ptr)
myIntVal += myIntVal + (*ptr++ - '0');

Of course that only works for binary numbers

this worked great!

Thanks!
