ASCII problem..... please help A.S.A.P

[solal]

what is the function name to convert a letter/number/etc..
to a Ascii code?

and the opposite: ascii code to a letter/number/etc...?


if you know, in PASCAL the functions are Ord and Chr, like this:
y:=ORD(num);
y:=CHR(num);


so what's the equilevant in JavaScript?

[joh6nn]

var y = String.fromCharCode(32); // a space
var y = y.charCodeAt(0); // returns the unicode value of the character at place 0 ( the first place ) in the string y

[solal]

that's not what i need!

i need the ORD & CHR like in Pascal!


but in java!

[joh6nn]

please reply in the original thread, not in a new one.

and yes, that is what you need, unless you didn't explain yourself as clearly as you meant to. i don't know Pascal, so i've no idea what ORD and CHR, though i could guess. but i do know JavaScript, and quite well, i like to think, and i know that

var y = String.fromCharCode(num)

will return the character for whatever ascii number num is, and i know that

var y = y.charCodeAt(num)

will take a string, and tell you what the ascii code for the character at num is.

joh6nn is completely right.

the functions he has told you are the exact javascript equivalents of ORD and CHR. I suggest you are not using them properly!

Also, we DID answer this in your last thread... and I know joh6nn has already said it once, but what is the point of posting another thread with the same question? :S

in light of the fact that 1) this thread is a duplicate of your other thread, and 2) you got the answer yesterday, i'm closing the thread.
