Getting the ASCII code for a character

[Kaspar]

Hello,

   I have a a character string that I want to obtain ASCII code for it so that I can send it to a numerical indicator. For example, the single character string is a
"?", that has a ASCII code of decimal 63. I am using the following conversions to do this, they are the "string to byte array" and then the "index array" to get
operation done that I want to perform. Are there any other "better ways" to get this done?

P.S. How do you put images in the forum postings?

If you just want an indicator showing the ASCII codes, keep it as a plain string indicator, but set it to display hex (right-click...hex display). 🙂

Hello,

  I am using a numeroical indicator, the one that looks like a thermomter. I am getting strings back from a PIC that represent the temperature, so I need to convert
each char in the string to a number to display the temp to a person as a number via the numerical indicator that looks like a thermometer

Is it alway exactly one character (i.e. an 8bit value between 0 and 255)? In this case just typecast it to U8.

...see example (LabVIEW 7.0) 🙂
