getting chr(241) and chr(242)

[martinwcole]

the less than or equal to character and the greater than or equal to

I found for 1/4, 1/2, and several others
like 1/4 =chr(188) instead of chr(172)

but cannot find for 241 and 242 from the ASCII extended character set

Re: getting chr(241) and chr(242)

Is this data coming from a cut and paste into the field?

PS Is there a way I could send you the toolbar - the code for using it is really cool - which Selwyn gave me

Re: Al - did you close the thread?

Toolbars don't seem to be exportable. Just create a new database, no tables, etc. Copy the toolbar to the new database. Attach that.

will do - will send to you and al

Easy enough to check the chr(#) list but I don't see ones you want.

for qx = 0 to 508
#? padl(alltrim(str(qx)),3,"0")+" "+ chr(qx)+if(mod(qx,8) = 0,crlf()," ")
#next

Several of the values are causing issues when trying to paste here but they are ok in the interactive window.

241 and 242

Re: getting chr(241) and chr(242) who closed the original thread?

The interactive shows chr(177) is the plus/minus sign which is the usual character before the greater than or equal to. Not that it helps.

chr(178) yields a superscript 2 and chr(179) a superscript 3. Those being the numbers which "should" yield the characters you want.

Re: getting chr(241) and chr(242) who closed the original thread?

should show/need it to show the symbol from the ascii extended for 241 and 242 = the >= and the <= symbols

[martinwcole]

Re: getting chr(241) and chr(242) who closed the original thread?

so you could not find a decimal value to create the symbols for 241 and 242? same problem I had
I searched from 100 through 600 unsuccessfuly

Re: getting chr(241) and chr(242) who closed the original thread?

actually, it was 242 and 243 - oh well

Toolbars don't seem to be exportable. Just create a new database, no tables, etc. Copy the toolbar to the new database. Attach that.

V 11 can export more including a toolbar.

Re: Al - did you close the thread?

Martin,

This is interesting, but as best I can tell this is a Unicode character.
This "≤" is produced with no problem here in the browser pressing Alt+243.
When pressing Alt+0243 we get the same character shown in the code editor with ?chr(243).

MS Words symbols shows this ≤ as a unicode (hex) symbol. All of the ASCII values for every font in MS Word give the same character as with
?chr(243) in the code editor, which oddly enough will not post to this thread.

Edit: the code editor does not produce the correct ASCII character after chr(175)

[martinwcole]

Re: Al - did you close the thread?

≤ ≥
used alt242 and alt243 to produce the above symbols
but in an Alpha character field it produces nothing

Selwyn said it could be done with a toolbar created with html, but would take some time to do it - but that is way over my head - will just have to live with writing >=

Re: Al - did you close the thread?

If I was a gambling man, I'd bet you could figure it out!
