store a character to Ans

[adje]

How can i store a 1 byte string (like 'A' or '5') to Ans.
the character is stored in A

ive tried with LD (tAns),A and with several rom calls, but its hard because i cant find much info about the calls.

thank you

You need to create a string variable with the desired contents. Use CreateTempString to create a string one (or two) bytes in length, store the desired token in it, then use StoAns to copy the result to Ans.

For instance:

Unfortunately, a lot of WikiTI is broken at the moment, including the search feature. We're looking into some solutions.

For now, I recommend googling with site:wikiti.denglend.net with what you want to know.

i get an error thrown when i try to compile it.
Label not found: _CreateTempStrin
i use ti83plus.inc as include file and use rom call like b_call(_CreateTempString). But he couldnt see the last g or something? Maybe name 's too big. I tried with b_call 4324 also, but the wabbitemu crashed.

What precisely does CreateTempString? Store into OP4:
StrngObj,tVarStrng,$omething like this?

And i work with the ASCII code of the characters. So to use token i have to make some sort of token bank. Cant i just store into OP1 a string (with Mov9ToOP1) and them store it into Ans?

+EDIT
okay, found out working with ASCII code is not that handy when the commands work with tokens. Is there no command-routine which stores a character (from which you know the ascii code) into ans or a string or just translates it into something useful?

Thank you

Try b_call(4324h) or b_call($4324). The label isn't in my ti83plus.inc either, so...

What the bcall does is create a temporary variable of the type string with hl bytes in it. It takes care of variable allocationy stuff so you probably don't want to replicate it.

For working with tokens: one lucky break is that numbers 0-9 and uppercase letters match in value. I'm pretty sure nothing else does.

I don't think the OS has any code for converting character values into tokens.

If you only need a specific subset of characters (say, letters, numbers, and a few others) you might consider handling the special cases by hand.

If you really want to convert arbitrary characters into tokens, here's a table you can use (assuming you're using OS 1.15 or above; if you want your code to run on earlier OSes you'll have to remove the newer tokens.)

hmm,
it doesnt throw an error at b_call(_$4324)

but i there an easy way to display tokens? token by token.
because _putmap or _putc dont work with tokens.

[magicdanw]

There's a bcall that goes something like tok_to_strng, or something. It'll convert a token into a string of displayable characters.

k now i got most of the symbols tokens together with the character value.
but i cant find these arrow tokens.
with character value im talking bout the 1 byte hex code metioned at the 'Large Font Map ' in asm28days.

i guess for all the symbols displayed there, you can display all of them (except for $D6...bug?), there should be a token.
does someone know these by heart hehe, guess not, but maybe someone does know where to find them.

you would really help me out

It's probably the case that there's a better way to do whatever it is you're doing, though.

[adje]

why, i have through ti83plus.inc tokens like 4 times.it ends at token Garbage collect. that why i couldnt find the arrow tokens.
i thank you darkliner
imma gonna search for newer ti83plus.inc or edit the one i got myself.
when edited should i post it here?

who is that? lol
