how to add a "à" to a crystal reports textbox? 3

[JasGrand]

hello, for some reason crystal reports changes my french "à" to a r with a little accent on the top of it... Anyone know how i can get my "à" to show up?

Thanks,

I too got the the "..." using chr(133) Crystal interprets chr(133) as if typing alt+0133

Use chr(224) to get à

Awesome, the chr(224) works... I was wondering if you knew how to do a "ê" and a "è"?

Thanks again,

A simpler means might be to copy and paste them.

Here's an ascii chart:

-k

è = chr(232)
ê = chr(234)


Use this formula in a report that has a couple of hundred records to see the chr equivalents

chr(recordnumber) & " - " & cstr(recordnumber,0)

or in Excel, copy this into rows 1 through 255

=char(row())

You can probably just copy and paste it as well.

To get a look at everything available, try the following formula:

whileprintingrecords;
stringvar array TheChars[254];
numbervar Counter;
For Counter := 1 to 254 do(
TheChars[Counter]:=chr(Counter)
);
join(TheChars,totext(counter))

This will show the character followed by it's ascii equivalent.

-k

K,

I had to make the alterations in red in order for the fomula to start. The whole subscript issue. Also the formula results in the ascii equivalts being seperated by the number 255.

My final formula:

whileprintingrecords;
stringvar array TheChars;
redim TheChars [254];
numbervar Counter;
For Counter := 1 to 254 do(
TheChars[Counter]:=chr(Counter)& "-" & cstr(counter,0)
);
join(TheChars,",")

Mike: Why would it show 255 for each? Very odd...

Anyway, I didn't test, but my formula wasn't going to be separated by commas, just the numeric, elegance can easily be added, the intent was theory

-k

 

[mbarron]

It's seperated by the 255 becuase your set your delimiter as the variable "counter" (255).

join(TheChars,totext(counter)) instead of join(TheChars,",")

Not a brilliant choice there eh? You fixed it nicely though.

Hello, thanks for answering my post. Problem is, i have crystal reports version 7.0... and i can't run the For next statement cause it's not incorporated in it. I was wondering if you knew the code for the û ?

Thanks again... i really appreciate your help,

Sorry, I don't have them, I'm afraid I'd have to experiment, the extended ascii I know is nothing like what you're getting.

I just wrote some code and ran them in Crystal, this is what I got (the number after each char is it's value):

Hi !

You get the "û" with chr(251).
