Chr Function

Given a numerical ASCII code, a String that consists of the equivalent ASCII character is constructed and returned.

...Chr ( expression )

Prerequisites

None

Parameters

expression

A required numerical expression. The expression must have an Integer value that ranges from 0 to 255.

Remarks

Given a numerical expression whose Integer value defines one of 256 possible ANSI ASCII character codes, a String is constructed and returned that contains a single character set to the ASCII code.

This routine is convenient if you wish to construct a String value that contains non-printable characters.

Examples

Dim ii As Integer
Dim ss As String
ss = Chr(10)               ' Line feed character
ss = Chr(GPL_CR)           ' Carriage return character
ii = Asc(ss)               ' ii will be set to 10
