Topic: Extract integer from string

[Matt__W]

I'm in a bit of a bind here... I need to be able to extract a number from a string.  Here's the catch: If the number is 12.7, I just need to extract the numbers to the left of the decimal, I.E. 12.  I know this is one of those stupid-simple problems, but I can't seem to figure it out.  I know I'm over-analyzing this - been looking at this code for too long.

well, I would start by reading each character from left to right and checking it against the ascii of 0-9.  Once you get your first "number" set a bool to true, then while next character is 0-9, cont, stop when false thus eliminating the " . "  And while true, keep concatinating the next numb to the prev set

I do not know much about the dark side coding... but have a look here:
