Ascii code in nav 2.6

JBeck

Hi,
Is there a function within Nav 2.6 that converts char code (0 - 255) into ascii code?

Thanks in advance

If you define a CHAR variable and assign an integer value to it you only need the FORMAT function.

MyChar := 13;
MyText := FORMAT(MyChar);  

will write a Carriage Return (CR) into a text variable.

Well that's not really what i'm looking for.

I'm trying to convert a decimal number into a ascii character.
I need to give an ascii command to a device so that's why I need it.
one command is ascii "^_" , which is 31 in decimal.

That's what Kowa wrote in his example

Char := 31;
MyText := FORMAT(MyChar);

would give your answer.

Are you talking to the device through Serial port?

I'm talking to the device through a comport.
It's a Pole display...

yep the code above will work

I tried it but still didn't get any results.
The ascii "^_" (Ctrl _ ) is meant to clear my pole display. When I used the code I got 31 on my display. So actually I needed a function or somethin that would convert decimal numbers into ascii characters...
I hope i can find a sollution for this problem [-o<

Anyways, Lots of thanks to everyone helping me.
I'm still open for suggestions.

You can try this:

  TextVar := ' ';
  TextVar[1] := 31;

You could send it zeros as last solution. or space (10) or just empty string or space (32).
