CharToValue

This function converts a string to Unicode character codes and then stores those values in an integer array.

Syntax

CharToValue ( " tagString " , " tagArray " )

tagString

The name of the string tag, whose value will be converted.

Note: If this parameter is enclosed in quotes, the string literal will be used. Otherwise, the value of the tag/expression will be used.

tagArray

The name of the integer array that will receive the converted values. If no array index is specified, then the default is 0.

Note: If this parameter is enclosed in quotes, the string literal will be used. Otherwise, the value of the tag/expression will be used.

Return value

Returns the number of array elements used, which should be equal to the number of characters in the string.

Examples

If StrTag = "ABC", then Array[0] = 65, Array[1] = 66, and Array[2] = 67:

CharToValue( "StrTag", "Array" )

If StrTag = "ABC", then Array[10] = 65, Array[11] = 66, and Array[12] = 67:

CharToValue( "StrTag", "Array[10]" )
