Returns the character associated with the specified ANSI character code.
Syntax
Chr(charcode)
Remarks
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:
Dim MyChar
' Returns A:
MyChar = Chr(65)
' Returns B:
MyChar = Chr(66)
' Returns Z:
MyChar = Chr(90)
' Returns a:
MyChar = Chr(97)
' Returns b:
MyChar = Chr(98)
' Returns z:
MyChar = Chr(122)
' Returns 0:
MyChar = Chr(48)
' Returns 1:
MyChar = Chr(49)
' Returns 9:
MyChar = Chr(57)
' Returns horizontal tab:
MyChar = Chr(9)
' Returns >:
MyChar = Chr(62)
' Returns %:
MyChar = Chr(37)
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.
