Visual C++ GetLine, Char to Int issue

[infinisource]

Hello,

I am new to C++ programming but not to programming in general. I have coded in VB, Java for a number of years. But C++ is a bit trickier than I expected. I have searched and looked over several threads on here pertaining to tokenizing and char to int, but I am my whits end with this code.

I have the following issues with the code below:

I am trying to input a line of text from a command prompt like so:

2 23

I tokenized the input into an array, but for some reason the second index in the array only includes 2, not 23. Finally, I cannot figure out for the life of me how to convert a char to integer. I know that if you perform mathematical computations on a char value, it will return the ascii value not the integer value that was entered in. In C++ I cannot figure out how to convert char to int!!

Here is the code that I am having trouble with:

void Store::inputProducts()
{

	char productInfo[80];
	int productQTY;
	bool isStop = false;
	
	prod1Count = 0;
	prod2Count = 0;
	prod3Count = 0;
	prod4Count = 0; 
	prod5Count = 0;

	do
	{

	char productNumber;
	char *tokenPtr;
		cout << "Press 1 for Product 1, 2 for Product 2, 3 for Product 3, 4 for Product 4, 5 for Product 5 or Q to Quit:";
	//cin >> productNumber >> productQTY;
	//cin.get(productNumber, productQTY);
	
	cin.getline( productInfo, 80, '\n');
	tokenPtr = strtok(productInfo, " ,.-");
	
	productNumber = tokenPtr[0];
	productQTY = tokenPtr[2];
	//int n = atoi(productQTY);
	
	cout << " Product QTY is: " << productQTY << endl;
	cout << " Product # is: " << productNumber << endl;
	int productQuantity;

	//productQuantity = static_cast< int >(productQTY);
	string s(1, productQTY);
	productQuantity = atoi(s.c_str());
	cout << " Product Quantity is " << productQuantity << endl;
	

		switch ( productNumber )
		{
			
			case '1':
				prod1Count = prod1Count + productQTY;
				cout << "Prod 1: " << prod1Count;
				cout << "Prod QTY: " << productQTY;
				break;
			case '2':
				prod2Count = prod2Count + productQTY;
				cout << prod2Count;
				break;
			case '3':
				prod3Count = prod3Count + productQTY;
				cout << prod3Count;
				break;
			case '4':
				prod4Count = prod4Count + productQTY;
				cout << prod4Count;
				break;
			case '5':
				prod5Count = prod5Count + productQTY;
				cout << prod5Count;
				break;
			case 'Q':
			case 'q':
				isStop = true;
				break;
			default:
				cout << "Incorrect Product # was entered.  Please enter a new product # (1 through 5 only)." << endl;
				
				break;
		} // end switch
			

		//cout << "Press 1 for Product 1, 2 for Product 2, 3 for Product 3, 4 for Product 4, 5 for Product 5 or Q to Quit:";
		//cin >> productNumber >> productQTY;
	} while ( isStop == false );// end while

	this->displayResults();

}

What suggestions could anyone give me? Any would be appreciated! :)

Thank you,

Paul

int main() {

	std::cout << "Press 1 for Product 1, 2 for Product 2, 3 for Product 3, 4 for Product 4, 5 for Product 5 or Q to Quit:\n";

	int productNumber;
	int productQTY;
	std::cin >> productNumber >> productQTY;
	
	std::cout << "productNumber = " << productNumber << std::endl;
	std::cout << "productQTY = " << productQTY << std::endl;
	
   return 0;
