Subj : Reading from file
To   : All

I've written a program and am reading data from a file using the
fread_line command.

~the data in the file line by line goes like

1
3
4
Merlin
CarSo Bs
2
3
4
Pamela
Beverley, UK
3
4
5
Name
Location

etc, each user record is 5 lines. I can read the lines in okay with fread_line,
but I need to convert the numbers from character  strings to integers.
Is there a command to convert a string to an integer or
is there an easier way to do it?
