Convert a string into an int

Question

I\'m having trouble converting a string into an integer. I googled it but all I can find is how to convert an int into a string. Does anyone know how to do it the other way

Answer 1

I had to do something like this but wanted to use a getter/setter for mine. In particular I wanted to return a long from a textfield. The other answers all worked well also, I just ended up adapting mine a little as my school project evolved.

long ms = [self.textfield.text longLongValue];
return ms;
