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.

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

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].

For convenience, the list below displays the numeric value and the ASCII character represented by that number. Values 0 - 31 and 127 are non-printable characters, such as line feeds, tabs, etc. Extended ASCII codes 128 - 255 may be found with a quick online search.
