Hi,

I will check a String which should contain a HEX value.
I know that strtol is the right function for this job.

But what happens when I will check a hex string with 8 bytes?
That I can check that the string is correct i know.

long value;
char src[]="0x1234567812345678"
char *err;
value = strtol(src,&err, 16);
if (*err != 0x00)
    return -1; /*FEHLER*/

The value is not 0x12345678 but I know it is right spelled.

Is that C89 standard or only on my compiler/OS (VC6, Windows) ?

Is there a way to get the right value of the beginning of the string,
up to the sizeof(long) ?

Thx
Peter
