Convert hex string (char []) to int?

by

Have you tried strtol()?

strtol – convert string to a long integer

Example:

const char *hexstring = "abcdef0";
int number = (int)strtol(hexstring, NULL, 16);

In case the string representation of the number begins with a 0x prefix, one must should use 0 as base:

const char *hexstring = "0xabcdef0";
int number = (int)strtol(hexstring, NULL, 0);

(It’s as well possible to specify an explicit base such as 16, but I wouldn’t recommend introducing redundancy.)
