The opposite of the Chr command is Ord.

Chr(54) = '6'.
Ord('6') = 54.

Lots of people don't know this. Feel smart now.

now whats ord stand for smarty pants ;)

Order XD

1 = first, 54 = 54th character ('6')

Uhh… XD Nerds?

It's a function that COULD be useful. =P

I just answered his question.

PS, when am I no longer a "Junior Member"?

when you get more than 100 posts :rolleyes:

also yeah i could find a use for it :p

somethin like Ord(blah) then use that for a bitmap :cool:

Ord stands for ordinal you smart wanna-be :p

As for its uses, you can really use it for some interesting things ;) I'll see if I can find a few examples when I get home from school (I'm leaving in 2 minutes :p)

instead of making a new thread. how can i make it hold and release the "crtl" key :P

One of the following ways:

KeyDown(17);
DoStuff;
KeyUp(17);
KeyDown(162);//left ctrl
DoStuff;
KeyUp(162);
KeyDown(163);//right ctrl
DoStuff;
KeyUp(163);

Chr/Ord does NOT apply to KeyDown/KeyUp. For other keys, you can either use the virtual key constants (Type VK_ into SCAR and hit space+ctrl for the full list), or search the forums for KDKUI (my KeyDown / KeyUp Include) for a FULL list of keys.

Now for Ord, you could use it for encrypted messages (I don't think that's actually practical because there's not much of a use for it), by doing chr(ord('a')+2); and so on for every letter, and use the output from chr in SendKeys ( Like SendKeys(chr(ord('a')+2)); ).

Another use is simply finding stuff the numbers for chr ( Such as Writeln(IntToStr(ord('a))); which you could even write a function for to get the chrs for whole strings ).

I think I'm missing a few uses here, but I haven't been doing much string manipulation lately. Hopefully this is a little helpful.

Since we're bring up random character related features, here are a couple:

You can also use the # operator for characters instead of key constants.
For instance:

writeln(#50+#51);

Writes the string "23" (ASCII 50 and 51).

And you can access characters of a string just like an array.
Like this:

str1:= 'abcdef';
writeln(str1[3]);

That will write the character "c".
Here's another example.

program New;
var
   str1:String;
   i:Integer;
begin
str1:= 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz';
for i:= 1 to length(str1) do
    writeln('Character '''+str1[i]+''' at position '+inttostr(i)+'.');
end.

tada. :D

Fine, psh.

Anyways, Driger, I can't find anything related to Chr in your tutorial. Maybe I just missed it. If it isn't in there, you should try to add it. Ord isn't really extremely useful anyways.
