[vtkusers] vtkSTLReader Convert hexadecimal to decimal

[Bayliss, Chris (Chicago)]

Hello users,

 

I am trying to input an .stl file and print the point count as a base 10
number.  The code below works for printing the point count in
hexadecimal, but I am having trouble converting that number to a
standard base 10 decimal. 

 

The errors I am getting are:

 

Error C2440: Cannot convert from 'vtkSTLReader*' to 'const char'

Error C2663: 'strtoul cannot convert parameter 1 from 'const char' to
'const char'.

 

vtkSTLReader *Reader = vtkSTLReader::New();

   Reader->SetFileName(argv[1]);

   Reader->Update();

   Reader->GetOutput()->GetNumberOfPoints();

 

   std::cout << Reader << std::endl;

 

   std::cout << "Reader is of type" <<typeid(Reader).name() <<
std::endl;

   

   const char pntcount = Reader;

   pntcount->Update();

   std::cout<<strtoul( pntcount ,NULL,16);

 

   std::cin.get();

   

   Reader->Delete();

 

Thanks in advance for the help.

 

Chris
