Setting variable to an Extended ASCII Character

[AndrewT]

Why doesn't this code work?

Code: Select all

Let>fnd={Ascii(150)}

This also doesn't work.

Code: Select all

If>{%Target% = Ascii(150)}

I get the error "Unknown Identifier ASCII." How else can I set a variable to extended ASCII code?

Any help would be appreciated.

It doesn't work because there is no such function "Ascii".

You could do:

Code: Select all

VBEval>Chr(150),theChar
...
If>{%Target% = %theChar%}

Ok, I guess I was misunderstanding this.

That function *SENDS* characters to the active window. It does the same as Send/SendText but instead of giving it the characters to send you give it the ascii codes of the characters you want to send.

It doesn't determine the character from the ascii code (unless you want to send it to e.g. Notepad and then copy that to the clipboard.

VBScripts CHR function takes an ascii code and returns the character.
