I have written a strptime which I use on Windows to make up for it's absence in the Microsoft C runtime library.
Here it is:

bool strp_atoi(const char * & s, int & result, int low, int high, int offset)
{
bool worked = false;
char * end;
unsigned long num = strtoul(s, & end, 10);
if (num >= (unsigned long)low && num <= (unsigned long)high)
{
result = (int)(num + offset);

I referred to the online man page man strptime(3) when writing this function.
