I want to write the ASCII code chr(192) into a file but I dont know am I right.Is the function like this chr(192) or something different because it doesn't write the character 192 in the file. Or can someone tell me how to write something into a file using ASCII codes?
View 8 RepliesI would like to pass a whitespace character by using the System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(" "), and System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(" ") , where " " is the whitespace Character required. What do I need to type (" ") to get a whitespace character passed.?
View 6 RepliesSo I have an ASP.Net (vb.net) application. It has a textbox and the user is pasting text from Microsoft Word into it. So things like the long dash (charcode 150) are coming through as input. Other examples would be the smart quotes or accented characters. In my app I'm encoding them in xml and passing that to the database as an xml parameter to a sql stored procedure. It gets inserted in the database just as the user entered it.
The problem is the app that reads this data doesn't like these characters. So I need to translate them into the lower ascii (7bit I think) character set. How do I do that? How do I determine what encoding they are in so I can do something like the following. And would just requesting the ASCII equivalent translate them intelligently or do I have to write some code for that?
Also maybe it might be easier to solve this problem in the web page to begin with. When you copy the selection of characters from Word it puts several formats in the clipboard. The straight text one is the one I want. Is there a way to have the html textbox get that text when the user pastes into it? Do I have to set the encoding of the web page somehow?

I have a value I am pulling into a string that looks like this:
M'arta
I need to have it to translate the numeric value into an actual value so that the string looks like this:
M'arta
how to accomplish this in VB.NET? Here is the relevant line of code that returns this result:
Dim occupant as String = GridView1.Rows(e.RowIndex).Cells(2).Text
I know how to convert a character to ascii Asc("E") = 65 How do I reverse the process? ie change 65 to E?
View 4 RepliesI am writing a console application, which reads emails from different email boxes and processes through them. Emails are received from various automated systems. The email messages are logged and/or sent forward.
The problem is that some emails are encoded in UTF-8 and transfer-encoded in quoted-printable which messes up special characters (mainly ä,ö and å). I have not found any solution to convert them in readable format.
For example "ä" in quoted-printable is "=C3=A4". Using a normal conversion methods the result is "ä" (gibberish).
I shamelessly ripped this example conversion table from here: [URL]

So how do I get the real codepoint from UTF-8 value? I'd rather not use any external libraries. Besides I've tried a couple already and they failed.

View 6 RepliesI'm Alan and I'm writing a little program (beginner), but I'm stuck and I can't get any further. So I hope one of you guys can help me solve following problem.Let me explain what I'm making, so it can give you all a better perspective.
For a this project I'm receiving data via the RS232 communication port. So basically I receive bytes. These bytes are converted to a string. So for example I receive this:"BAA" this is good because I can get the correct decimal value for "B"(66) and "A"(65) using the command asc("A") in .NET.but sometimes I receive a character that exceeds the 0-127 limit for example ""(128) (please see [URL]..But now when I try to get the decimal value of "" I get 63 instead of 128. I searched the Internet and forums for an answer but I didn't find one that fits my problem.
So if it's possible, can one of you code experts explain me how to fix this problem ? It would help me a lot. I hope I described my problem clearly, but if there are some questions,
I want to explicitly inform my user that they are not allowed to use any characters from the extended ascii character set (128-255). When I try to create a string of these values using the following [Code] It outputs them fine, with the exception of a bunch of blanks in certain areas(I am assuming these characters are unprintable), but I noticed that when I hover over the value of sVal in the VS, the tooltip/quickview of the value is written nicely on one line. Any ideas how to remove characters that would appear to be blank spaces (unprintable) when outputting this list?

View 6 RepliesI am working on a client/server based application and I have run into quite a few snags stumbling my way through I have resolved quite a few issues, and need help with something new. I am using a TCPIP client/server and I find that at the end of each loop when I am reading the data from the network stream it appends a character to the end. I have tried removing the last character but I am not sure if it is getting the whole character successfully because I still get lots of different errors both in binary and xml deserialization whcih I think is related to this. Does anyone know the ascii code for the termination character for TCPServer/Client communications?
View 15 RepliesI am working on a text-based game and as your character moves, you get informations such as the room name and below, a description (Lorem ipsum in the example) which is an array of string. I would like to know how to append characters to it. I am actually trying to display a minimap made of ASCII character. See the second bloc code for an example.
From:

Into:

The game itself is made in VB.NET but a solution in pseudo-code is also welcomed. Also, each line's length is aproximatively the maximum length it must be.
The desired output must be an array of strings because this data is later send to a client connected using sockets.
The latest assignment from my teacher was to create a console program where the user enters a character and the respective ASCII value in Denary, Hexadecimal and Binary, Even Parity, Odd Parity and Hamming code is returned.I've managed to implement all of them except the latter with relative ease, I am familiar with the concept of Hamming code and can compute it easily by hand, but don't really know how to implement it as a function in my program.

View 1 RepliesI am currently writing a program with Visual Basic 2005 to talk back and forth to an external machine over UDP/IP. I recently had some trouble with it which I got help for today. I need to send the information to the machine using ASCII. I had it figured out so I could send HEX numbers 20 through 7F to the machine. The problem I had and got help for was writing the HEX numbers 0-19 to the machine. The help I recieved said that instead of writing the actual HEX number into the machine, "70" for example, I should write Chr(112). This allowed me to send numbers like HEX 01 by simply writing Chr(1).
My new problem is that I need to write the HEX numbers 90, 91, 96, and 97 to the machine. Every time I try and send these numbers my computer sends out a weird number. For example, I try to send HEX 90 as Chr(144) and it ends up coming up as HEX 3F on the opposite end. After looking up the ASCII table online I found that Chr(144) is an Extended ASCII code.
I need to write an application for receiving data (ascii characters) from microcontroller through the serial port in three separate parts.

View 3 RepliesYears ago when coding with VB6 and earlier, I used a file open command to create, read, and write a file that made it easy to store useful information.I believe it was binary and you wrote/read the data to a specific line in the file. When you opened the file with something like notepad, it just showed random ascii chars. When I needed a line of data, I could specify what line to load it from.

but yet this fails.. (the output isn't itself in a new line) what's the explanation for that?From what I know, doesn't System.Diagnostics.Debug.Writeline does something which looks like this:
System.Diagnostics.Debug.Write(input)
System.Diagnostics.Debug.Write("

so regardless of my input it should always have a newline char even if there is a terminating 00 char in my input?
