newbie question, convert gchar to int?

[stan huang <infamous_godhand yahoo com>]

 Hello, I am trying to convert a string which the user
entered in the text entry box into a type int, I tried
to use atoi but when I print it out, it didn't give me
the integer instead it gave me the address of that
string. Any suggestions? thanks in advance.
