B4R Question Very simple quesiton about bytes

daveinhull · Jul 4, 2020

Hi,

I have a byte value representing an ASCII character and when I output it using Log I get the ASCII value as expected, but how to I output the actual ASCII character?

Thanks in advance
Dave

B4X:

Dim BC as ByteConverter
Dim Char as byte = 65 'A
Log(BC.StringFromBytes(array as byte(Char)))

Hi Janderkan,

Many thanks. Since posting I've been looking further and trying different things and was getting close to this, so thanks.
However, I'm sure I read in a post from Erel, that it wasnt necessary often to use StringFromBytes as it was possible to output (maybe that doest mean Log) bytes as characters directly - of course I could easily have miss read that while searching.

Thanks again
Dave

Use an array of bytes instead of a byte:

B4X:

Dim c As Byte = 65
Log(Array As Byte(c))

Or:

B4X:

Dim c() As Byte = Array As Byte(65)
Log(c)
