Caché Basic Reference
Chr
|
|
Returns the character corresponding to the specified ANSI character code.
Synopsis
The
charcode argument is a decimal integer that identifies a character. For 8-bit characters, the value in
charcode must evaluate to a positive integer in the range 0 to 255. For 16-bit characters, specify integers in the range 256 through 65534.
The
Chr function takes an ANSI code and returns the corresponding character. The
Asc function takes a character and returns the corresponding ANSI code.
Numbers from 0 to 31 are the same as standard, nonprintable ASCII codes. For example,
Chr(10) returns a linefeed character.
The Caché Basic
Chr function returns a single character. The corresponding ObjectScript
$CHAR function can return multiple characters by specifying a comma-separated list of ASCII codes.
The following example uses the
Chr function to return the character associated with the specified character code:
Println Chr(65) ' Returns A.
Println Chr(97) ' Returns a.
Println Chr(37) ' Returns %.
Println Chr(62) ' Returns >.
Println Chr(960) ' Returns the symbol for pi.
