Chr Function
Updated: March 2009
Returns the character associated with the specified ANSI character code.
Chr(charcode)
The charcode argument is a number that identifies a character.
Numbers from 0 to 31 are the same as standard, nonprintable ASCII codes. For example, Chr(10) returns a linefeed character.
The following example uses the Chr function to return the character associated with the specified character code:
Dim MyChar ' Returns A: MyChar = Chr(65) ' Returns B: MyChar = Chr(66) ' Returns Z: MyChar = Chr(90) ' Returns a: MyChar = Chr(97) ' Returns b: MyChar = Chr(98) ' Returns z: MyChar = Chr(122) ' Returns 0: MyChar = Chr(48) ' Returns 1: MyChar = Chr(49) ' Returns 9: MyChar = Chr(57) ' Returns horizontal tab: MyChar = Chr(9) ' Returns >: MyChar = Chr(62) ' Returns %: MyChar = Chr(37)

The ChrB function is used with byte data contained in a string. Instead of returning a character, which may be one or two bytes, ChrB always returns a single byte. ChrW is provided for 32-bit platforms that use Unicode characters. Its argument is a Unicode (wide) character code, thereby avoiding the conversion from ANSI to Unicode. |
