I'm working on a replacement font system for my project, because, well, V2's font system is sorta lame. What I'm trying to figure out right now is how to read the ASCII values out of a string. Is the variable type string just a pointer, or is it something else? In other words can I do:

myvalue = byte[mystring];

and myvalue will be equal to the ASCII code of the first character?

If not, is there any way to read the string data byte by byte?


Thanks,
Devon

Put shortly:

string s;
int i;
s="A";
i=asc(s);

i now holds the ASCII value for the first character in s, which is 65 in this case. ('A')

s=chr(i);

s is now equal to the ASCII value of i. ('A' again)
