chr$

Syntax

result = CHR$(number)

Arguments

result: text

number: integer

Meaning

CHR$ returns the Unicode character for the Unicode value number, a number between 0 and 65536.

Example 1

textvar = "This is line 1" + CHR$(13) + CHR$(10) + ~
         "This is line 2"

Result

With most computer systems, CHR$(13) + CHR$(10) means a carriage return plus line feed. So the two texts will be printed underneath each other, separated by a line break, when textvar is printed. Use this syntax if you want to include the new line in a text you are putting together. If you are sending text to the printer directly, it's easier to use the output line command.

Example 2

display CHR$(937)

Result

Ω
