Chrfunction

Returns a string of characters from one or more ASCII integer values

Syntax

Declare Function Chr ( ByVal ch As Integer [, ... ] ) As String

Parameters

Name		Description
`ch`		The ASCII integer value of a character (up to 32 characters).

Return value

Returns a string containing the character(s).

Description

Chr returns a string containing the character(s) represented by the ASCII values passed to it.

When Chr is used with numerical constants or literals, the result is evaluated at compile-time, so it can be used in variable initializers.

Asc performs the opposite function, returning the ASCII code of a character represented by a string.

Remarks

Usage



result = Chr[$]( ch0 [, ch1 ... chN ] )

Dialect Differences

The string type suffix "$" is required in the -lang qb dialect.
The string type suffix "$" is optional in the -lang fblite dialect.
The string type suffix "$" is ignored in the -lang fb dialect, warn only with the -w suffix compile option (or -w pedantic compile option).

Differences from QB

FreeBASIC accepts multiple integer values as arguments, QB accepted only one.
FreeBASIC evaluates the CHR function at compile time when used with constants or literals.

Example

Print "the character represented by";

Print " the ASCII code of 97 is: "; Chr(97)



Print Chr(97, 98, 99) ' prints abc



' s initially has the value "abc"

Dim s As String = Chr(97, 98, 99)



Print s
