Chr
Synopsis
Chr(charcode)
Arguments
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.
Description
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.
Examples
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.
