Convert std::string to integer

Question

I\'m trying to convert a std::string stored in a std::vector to an integer and pass it to a function as a parameter.

This is a simplified vers

Answer 1

#include <boost/lexical_cast.hpp>

functiontest(boost::lexical_cast<int>(record[i]));

Answer 2

Use stringstream from standard library. It's cleaner and it's rather C++ than C.

int i3;
std::stringstream(record[i]) >> i3; 

Answer 3

record[i].c_str

is not the same as

record[i].c_str()

You can actually get this from the error message: the function expects a const char*, but you're providing an argument of type const char* (std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >::)()const which is a pointer to a member function of the class std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > that returns a const char* and takes no arguments.

Answer 4

With C++11:

int value = std::stoi(record[i]);
