Thanks buddy, you solved my problem. That was exactly what I was looking for!

Code:
x = atoi(arg[1]);

Now, I can do all the operation on that argument
Thanks a ton!

       EekBoek is designed for the Dutch/European market and currently available in Dutch only. An English translation is in the works (help
       appreciated).

DESCRIPTION
