StringChar()

Returns the character corresponding to a specified ASCII code.

Category

String

Syntax

StringResult = StringChar( ASCII );

Parameter

ASCII

ASCII code or an integer attribute.

Remarks

Use the StringChar function to add ASCII characters not normally represented on the keyboard to a string attribute.

This function is also useful for SQL commands. The where expression sometimes requires double quotation marks around string values, so use StringChar(34).

Example

In this example, a [Carriage Return (13)] and [Line Feed (10)] are added to the end of StringAttribute and passed to ControlString. Inserting characters out of the normal 32-126 range of displayable ASCII characters can be very useful for creating control codes for external devices such as printers or modems.

ControlString = StringAttribute+StringChar(13)+StringChar(10);
