Increment character

Lefteyed

Hey Guys

How do you get the next character?

say that I have a, then I want b as the next.

I can convert a to integer:
a := 'a'; // number = 65
i := a[1] + 1; // number = 66

but how do I then convert i so that it becomes 'b'

Thanks

assign i to char variable then format char to text var

Exactly. Actually you can simplify your code, because you can assign different types to a Char variable.
If you define MyVar as Char, you can do this:

MyVar := 'a'; // number = 65
MyVar += 1;

After this, MyVar wil be b.

I was to focused on doing it in code, didn't think of checking the variable types.. Oh my

Thanks guys.

If you have a string (text or code) (no need for char-variable):


TheString := 'AAA';
TheString[1] := TheString[1] + 1; //[1] is the first char in the string

MESSAGE('%1',TheString); // => BAA
