Couldn't get it to remove the final ", I always ended up with 245" - not much 
use to an integer variable!!

I now use strtok():

char string[]="ITEMNAME=\"256\"";
char *buffer;
int output=0;
char *buff2;

buffer=strtok(string,"\"\"");
buffer=strtok(NULL,"\"\"");
buff2=strtok(string,"=");
output=atoi(buffer);
cout << "Attribute name is " << buff2 << endl << "attribute value is " << 
output << endl;

Found that in the KDevelop manual. Unexpectedly useful!
