Microsoft® Visual Basic® Scripting Edition Chr Function | Language Reference Version 1

See Also

##### Description

> Returns the character associated with the specified ANSI character code.

##### Syntax

> Chr(charcode)

> The charcode argument is a number that identifies a character.

##### Remarks

> 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
> >     MyChar = Chr(65)    ' Returns A.
> >     MyChar = Chr(97)    ' Returns a.
> >     MyChar = Chr(62)    ' Returns >.
> >     MyChar = Chr(37)    ' Returns %.

> 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.
