string(1) to char?
Wed, 29 Nov 1995 15:08:37 -0500
can one convert a string of length one into a char?
ie the below wont work:
program t(input,output);
var
ch:char;
s:string(10);
begin
s:='teststring';
writeln(substr(s,2,1));
ch:=substr(s,2,1);
writeln(ord(ch));
end.
so, if one needs to get the ascii value of a particular
value in a string, does one have to fall back to
the std pascal of using packed array of char?
