VBS TUTORIAL: function-CHR function _vbs

Chr function

Returns the character that corresponds to the specified ANSI character code.

Chr(charcode)

The charcode parameter is a number that can identify characters.

Description

Numbers from 0 to 31 represent standard, non-printing ASCII code. For example,Chr (a) returns a newline character.

The following example uses the Chr function to return the character corresponding to the specified character code:

Chr(65) 'Return  A . Chr(97) 'return  a . Chr(62) 'return  > . Chr(37) 'return  % .

Note the ChrB function is used in conjunction with the byte data contained in the string. ChrB is not a character that returns one or two bytes, but a character that always returns a single byte. The ChrW is provided for 32-bit platforms that use Unicode characters. Its argument is a Unicode (wide-character) character code, so you can avoid converting ANSI to Unicode characters.
