Variable Set to ASCII Char

The Variable Set to ASCII Char command converts a numeric value into its ASCII character equivalent. For example the number 65 represents the letter A. Or in the example below, the number 123 represents the character {. The range of values allowed is from 0 to 255.

Insert the numeric value to be converted to an ASCII character. Or insert a variable that contains the numeric value to be converted.

The ASCII character that matches the numeric value is saved to a text string variable. Enter the variable name or click on the Variables button to select a variable for use.

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