How do i convert a number back into a letter and convert array back into string

[asim1999]

I have ASCII numbers that i converted from letters from a string and stored in an array. I want to do the opposite and convert the numbers back into letters and merge the letters into the array to a string

How do i do this?

I am using Pascal (Lazarus) BTW.

You could create a lookup array where each number corresponds to a letter. So basically implement the ASCII table. (I don't know pascal so I will put this in C++ pseudo code.)

string asciiTable[127]; // Create an array the size of 127 strings.characters[65] = "A"; // Assign each location a string value according to the ascii table.characters[66] = "B";characters[67] = "C";

Then

// Loop for the length of your array. Increment after each loop.for(unsigned int i = 0; i < YourArrayLength; i++){   cout << ASCIITable[YourArray[i]] << endl; // output the value stored in asciiTable at the index of the ascii number stored in your array at the index location of i.}

This isn't a beautiful implementation but should work.

I don't know Pascal, and I'm not 100% sure what you're asking, but I'll try to help you out anyway.

 

Are you storing the letters as their ASCII value or as the value of itself?

// to ASCII value?'1' = 49// or itself?'1' = 1 

If you're working back and forth between the characters and their ASCII values then the ord and chr functions might be all you need for that part of it.

 

If you want to do the latter then you can accomplish it with the same functions and some basic math.

 

Then it should be pretty easy to build a string from each character.
