Short: Convert chars into ASCII codes, and vice versa Author: rsmedley@cix.compulink.co.uk (Richard Smedley) Uploader: rsmedley cix compulink co uk (Richard Smedley) Type: util/cli Architecture: m68k-amigaos Two little CLI commands which can be used for displaying the ASCII code of a particular character, or vice versa. The commands are equivalent to the ASC() and CHR$() functions that you'd normally find in Basic, except that you don't need to waste memory loading a Basic interpreter to use them! (And, of course, you can enter multiple arguments - something else you can't do in Basic) Anyway, here are the two commands: Ascii - Convert characters into ASCII codes ------------------------------------------- Usage: Ascii Example: Ascii t e s t ASCII code of "t" is 116 ($74) ASCII code of "e" is 101 ($65) ASCII code of "s" is 115 ($73) ASCII code of "t" is 116 ($74) Chr$ - Convert ASCII codes into characters ------------------------------------------ Usage: Chr$ Example: Chr$ $74 $65 $73 $74 ASCII 116 ($74) is "t" ASCII 101 ($65) is "e" ASCII 115 ($73) is "s" ASCII 116 ($74) is "t" (You can enter the ASCII codes in either decimal or hex) They're probably mainly of use to programmers. I know that *I* often find them useful anyway! Both progs are freeware, but remain Copyright (C) Richard Smedley 1997. If you distribute them, then make sure you only distribute the entire archive.
