Aloha,
I want to convert a normal Number into an Ascii-Symbol:
e.g. 75 would be a 'K' then.
Is there a 'built-in' converter, or do i have to write it myself?
Bye,
cutio |

just set up a string that each letter is in it's appropriate spot
exe :
sub(Str1,75,1
would return K
it would be a long string, but it would work... |

well,
sub("ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ",A,1->Str2
if A=1 then "A" would be in string 2...
A=2 then "B"
you get the point |

Do the instring thing, but place each character at the correct place.
Ie A is at 65 since that is 41h
...
Then when you find it, you get the correct number in Decimal. |

yes, but even though i have hunted through the calc, i still havent found many of the characters in the font set (mainly the 2 byte ones). i can get a bout half in a program. ive hunted an dprobed with calcsys, to no avail on the other ones though |

| You can't get all of them in Basic. You can get all the accented vowel symbols (but on my calculator at least you can't get the `I symbol), plus some like @#$%&~. |

that is a calc function... not MirageOS... it just turns on a flag in the TI-OS.
as for the symbols mentioned.. (~@#$%&) i can get ALL of those in basic with my TI-Keyboard.  |

You can't get the sqrt symbol by itself, the cursor symbols, the subscript symbols, etc. |

cheers! |
