Hi everybody,

   I would like to know how to convert a character into its numerical form
(or ascii number). I used atoi function, but it takes only numerical 
characters(If I am not wrong).

for example :    'a' ----> should return its numerical equivalent.

I would appreciate if anybody help me.

Swamy
