i have char array of form: [17 chars, tab char, 17 chars, tab char, 17 chars, tab char, char representing number between 1 , 4 digits long, null-byte] i want store chars sit between tab char , null-byte in new variable. example 1: char array: [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,\t,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,\t,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,\t,3,4,\0] and want save int 34 in variable called x. example 2: char array: [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,\t,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,\t,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,\t,5,9,9,\0] and want save int 599 in variable called x. i can if know number of digits of number, not sure how solve problem of having number of unknown length. any appreciated much. let's string (aka char array) pointed str , since seem need number in int can use atoi(str + 3 * (17 + 1)) want. if want in string can use strcpy(str2, str + 3 * (17 + 1)) assuming buffer pointed str2 . btw, need include stdlib.h at...
