number to ascii character

[ro...@ribble.plus.com]

Is there a block or a way to convert a number to an ascii character

[Gareth Haylings]

Sorry but there is no block to do this in AI. 

There is  work around for this but it is a bit long winded sorry. Add each character from the ASCII table in a list and use the a search to check for the character you are looking for in the list. The index of the item in the list will be the ASCII code

Scott has an App Inventor Classic example for that here https://groups.google.com/d/msg/app-inventor-developers-library/ou99CKMFkyY/-XdEyU3PXRAJ

That example just uses a text string to store the characters and the Text index block to get it's position in the string.
