two consecutive chars to one int.

quick question:
is there easy way read 2 consecutive chars or bytes from  serial buffer , combine them 1 integer?
for example, char 1 , char 2 read until '/' read combined make 12.

i'd avoid using string if possible.

thanks!

if understand problem, might lead answer:

code: [select]


void setup() {
  int answer;
  char mychar[3];

  serial.begin(9600);
 
  mychar[0] = '1';      // use serial.read() these , keyboard or wherever...
  mychar[1] = '2';
  mychar[2] = '/';

  if (mychar[2] == '/')
    mychar[2] = '\0';   // make c string

  answer = atoi(mychar);
  serial.println(answer);
}

void loop() {
}
