Variable Set to ASCII Value

 

The Variable Set to ASCII Value command is essentially the inverse of the Variable Set to ASCII Character. It converts an ASCII character to its ASCII numeric equivalent. For example, the letter "a" converts to a numeric value of 97. The letter "A" converts to a numeric value of 65. The numeric value is saved to an Integer variable that can be used later in the macro.

ASCII Value to Convert

Enter the ASCII character to be converted to its ASCII numeric equivalent. Or insert the variable that contains the ASCII character to be converted.

 

 

Destination Variable

The ASCII character selected is saved as a numeric value and placed in an integer variable. In the example above the ASCII character "A" is saved to the variable selected, which in this case is N[1].
