String.fromCharCode(97,98,99) VB Equivelent? 2

[mattscotney]

In javascript there is a static method for converting ASCII code to characters. An example is: String.fromCharCode(97,98,99) which will produce the string "abc".

How do I do exactly the same thing in visual basic?

Thanks for your help,

strW = Chr$(97) & Chr$(98) & Chr$(99)

That works ok to a point but not with special characters.

When you use Chr$(286) it does not work.

When using the same with javascript:
String.fromCharCode(286) you get the character: Ð

How do I make the VB code do the same?

Standard ASCII characters fall in the range 0 to 255.
CHR only supports single byte characters.

If you are using a DBCS (which you must be to have characters above 255) you can use ChrW instead. Let me know if this helps

Thanks John the ChrW fixed the character problem.

Also if anyone could you tell me the VB equivelent to the javascript: x = y.charCodeAt(i)

Thanks in advance,

x = ASC(MID(Y,i,1))
but agian this is ascii only if you need double byte char data back use AscW()
