ASCPOS() Determines the ASCII value of a character at a particular position within a string ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Syntax ASCPOS(<cString>,[<nPosition>]) --> nAsciiValue Arguments <cString> Designates the character string that is searched. <nPosition> Designates the character of <cString> for which the ASCII value is determined. The default character is the last character. Returns The function returns the ASCII value for the character at <nPosition> within <cString>. Description ASCPOS() allows you to determine the ASCII value of a selected key within a character string. Notes . The returned value can be between 0 and 255. . If <cString> is a null string, or <nPosition> is larger than the length of the string, ASCPOS() returns 0. . If <nPosition> is 0, the ASCII value for the last character is returned. Examples . You can specify: ? ASCPOS(String, 5) . Or you can specify: ? ASC (SUBSTR(String, 5, 1))
