I'm working on getting text input to display on the Push LCD. I was hoping it would be easy, but I've already hit a bit of a wall:

Code: Select all

        k &#58;= strtoint&#40;'s'&#41;;
        writeln&#40;'s is '+inttostr&#40; k &#41;&#41;;

That results in an error: Error : ''s'' is not a valid integer value

How can I get back the ASCII integer value of 's' ?

sorry, this got posted to general discussion but it should be in patching questions.

Code: Select all

var k&#58; integer;
begin
 k &#58;= ord&#40;'s'&#41;;
 itrace&#40;k&#41;;
end;

this should do the trick?

Yes, that should work! I will give it a try as soon as possible and let you know.

Code: Select all

      for l&#58;=0 to Length&#40;string1&#41;
      do begin
        c &#58;=  copy&#40;string1, l, 1&#41;; 
        k &#58;= ord&#40; c &#41;;

The above code throws an 'Invalid cast' compile time error.

1) k is defined as an integer as in the first example.
2) c was first a char, but the StrGet function seems not to be defined so I switched c to a string and used copy with a length of 1.

Code: Select all

      for l&#58;=0 to Length&#40;string1&#41;
      do begin
        c &#58;=  string1&#91;l&#93;;
        lcd&#91;0&#93;&#91;l&#93; &#58;= ord&#40; c &#41;;

Switching 'c' back to type char and and accessing the string as an array worked.
