How to write the NULL ASCII character?

[Pablo]

I need to write the NULL ASCII character (hex 00) into the expression editor. Anybody knows how can I do this?

Thank you!

The ASCII NULL character is what ends all lines. Even if you succeed doing it (String Parser 2 can do it) then at runtime everything after the NULL character will be gone since all MMF2 string operations stops when it finds one.
*edit*
After a little thought it might just disappear completely since if you do:
"Mystring" + NULL character + "other text"
It will just append "other text" after the first NULL it finds which is just after "Mystring" and not the NULL char you inserted.
And that gives you the string:
"Mystringother text"

A better question might be: "What do you want it for?"

I need to send some ASCII commands to a remote machine using a communications extension. Some of this commands include the NULL char, and the expression editor just ignores my attempts to introduce this character. I've tried some extensions to get this character (string parser, formatted string object, binary object) but I've failed.

That is because, as we have said, you can't include the NULL char in a string (because it's used as the end-of-string marker). If your extension can send binary data directly, you should use that.

EDIT: I noticed that you've posted in the EasyCom thread asking for a "send NULL" action. That could work.
