how do you get the ASCII value of a character?

[tristero]

also, is there a function that translates a character into bits? (110101)

also look @ Bintoc() and ctobin() fuctions.

tristero,

Here's a quick-n-dirty example that might get you started:

lcChar = "A"
lcResult = ""
FOR lnCounter = 1 TO 8
	lcResult = IIF(BITTEST(ASC(lcChar), lnCounter - 1), "1", "0") ;
		+ lcResult
ENDFOR
? lcResult

How'd you get in this (almost) ALL Michigan thread? Maybe you'll have to move.

Yes Ali,
I just said goodnight to Andy as he walked out the door, and Jim O. lives about 1/2 mile from here! We've got quite a few FP developers in the area. I'm proud of the fact that MI has 3 VFP MS MVPs out of the current total of 46!

In fact, I've seen at least 7 of them posting in the VFP forums here on Tek-Tips. (Some aren't as obvious or as vocal as others. ) It's one of the reasons that TT has such quality answers. Of course - in my opinion - most of the best answers come from the non-MVPs (or possible future MVPs!).

Rick, I am opening a business (a Franchise) in Lansing in bout 6 months in front of meijer. The one across from the nice mall (Life Center Mall??) you know the mall that has the shops outdoors instead of indoors.

So, i will be in lansing more often. When i open, all of the guys on Tek-tips will come to my shop and get a free Cell phone (top of the line).. that's a promise

And the fact that TT IS located in Michigan...I must be in the wrong place since UT is a few miles from where I am...;-)
