ASCII definition

The American Standard Code for Information Interchange (acronym: ASCII) is a character-encoding scheme based on the ordering of the English alphabet. ASCII codes represent text in computers, communications equipment, and other devices that use text. Most mode

Chr Function

The Chr function returns the character whose value is specified. It is valid for the standard ASCII character set only. For this reason, Chr may return unexpected results unless you use it only for ASCII values (0-127). In general, you should use the Chr method of the TextEncoding class. With it, you specify both the encoding and the character code in that encoding. Please see the example in the TextEncoding class and the last line in this example. In effect, the Chr function supports the special case in which the encoding is ASCII and value is less than 128. Below REALbasic code example for Chr Function.

Dim Tab,CR As String
 
Tab=Chr(9) //returns a tab
CR=Chr(13) //returns carriage return
CR=Encodings.ASCII.Chr(13) //also returns carriage return
Listbox1.InitialValue = "United Nations Day" + chr(9) + "UFC 104" + EndOfLine + "Halloween Costumes" + chr(9) + "Hilary Swank" // chr(9) = Tab key
