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

    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.

    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
