STRINGS!!! Help!!!

[Sascha W.]

How is it possible to get the hex or decimal value of one charater from a string?
For example: I want the decimal value of the "a" from the "hallo" string. Does anybody know how to do that? Code would be helpful.
Thanks and redards

Hi Lothar,
sorry if I didn't really said what I want. I have a string e.g. with 6 characters, but I don't know the contents. Now I want the decimal value of e.g. the third character of this specific string.
Example: dim a As string
a = ??(?)???
Decimal value of the third character?
How to do that?
Tanks and regars

to get a specific char from a string use the Mid function.
To convert it to a decimal value use Asc.

e.g. to convert the third char in string x

a = asc(mid(x,3,1))
