Well, what did you expect ? If you asked me to convert that string into a numeric value, I would say that I can't.

What would be the best way to convert a CString value of say "C-YOu01"

to a numerical value ?

std::string str = "C-YOu01";
int nVal = 0;
 
for (int x = 0; x < str.length(); x++)
{
    int c = str[x] - 48;
    nVal += c;
}
 
std::cout << nVal << std::endl;

int nVal;
nVal = strlen("C-YOu01");
printf("%d\n");

It should be. Always initialize your variables!

Do not program naughty functions in the first place.
If naughty functions are made by someone else and keep doing horrible things to the objects you gave them pointers to, hand them a copy of the object, and keep the original with yourself.

my point is when it has been given a value somewhere in the program and there is a possibility that value dose not exist anymore so the value is wrong then still I need to check it.
