Chr Function


Chr(charcode)

The charcode argument is a number that identifies a character.

Numbers from 0 to 31 are the same as standard, nonprintable ASCII codes. For example, Chr(10) returns a linefeed character.

The following example uses the Chr function to return the character associated with the specified character code:

┬á	Copy Code
Dim MyChar MyChar = Chr(65) ' Returns A. MyChar = Chr(97) ' Returns a. MyChar = Chr(62) ' Returns >. MyChar = Chr(37) ' Returns %.

Note
The ChrB function is used with byte data contained in a string. Instead of returning a character, which may be one or two bytes, ChrB always returns a single byte. ChrW is provided for 32-bit platforms that use Unicode characters. Its argument is a Unicode (wide) character code, thereby avoiding the conversion from ANSI to Unicode.
