How do you get the ASCII numbers to print on the screen?
if done this way:
i = 000 to 127
it doesnt work obviously. These are the numbers of ASCII I am trying to get the program to recognise for its letters or symbols to be printed on screen. Please help this noob.
thx :???:

a character, i.e., if you do
B = ASC("A")
B will be 65. Use CHR$ to return the character associated with an ascii value, i.e., if you do
C$ = CHR$(65)
C$ will be "A".

nope.
a$ = "a"
a% = 65 '(I think... er I know)
a% = ASC(a$)
a$ = CHR$(a%)

Well, first, it's just "CHR$" (no "S"), and second, I'm not sure what you're trying to do with the "27 - 127". ASCII/extended ASCII values are non-negative numbers between 0 and 255.

He wants something like this, I think:
Code:
CLS
FOR I=27 TO 127
PRINT CHR$(I)
NEXT

After I posted that, it occurred to me that that might have been what he was doing and I just took a dash as a minus sign. So I came back to explain that QB's functions are generally single-valued and not quite as generically useful as that, but you beat me at the guessing game.

Thank You All
sorry for not being clearer about the 27-127 which are the ASCII letters I want reconized, but as I learn more the better I will get at trying to explain myself.
Thx Again :bounce:

i]"I know what you're thinking. Did he fire six shots or only five? Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I've kinda lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum ... you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya punk?"[/i] - Dirty Harry
