convert letter into ASCII 1

sebastiannielsen · Sep 29, 2005

I need some function, for converting letter codes into ASCII values.

example:
lettercode('A') should return 65

Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl

lettercode('A');

sub lettercode {
  print ord(shift);
}

Kind Regards
Duncan

And the compliment of ord() is chr()

a star for you, duncdude.
My VNC script is getting closer and closer to "completed" now...
