Replacing numbers with letters

[Decal]

Hey :-)

I want be able to input a number sequence into an edit box like:

7-15-21-0-1-1-8-19-14-13-14-5 etc and so on
And when i push a button it will then convert the numbers to a letters. where:
0=A
1=B
2=C
3=D etc
and the result to be shown in a string or another edit object.

I think i can use the string parser here but how can I do this?

Best Regards
Decal :-)

Insert the String Parser 2 object, and then:

chr$( "String Parser", 65 + 5)

Where 5 is the number (that example would give "F")

EDIT: Well, that's for one number. I guess you can figure out how to do the whole string yourself? (hint: A fastloop combined with either String Parser's list tokenizing, or the String Tokenizer object and a delimiter of "-").

I managed to get something using the string tokenizer, list object and the inbuilt fast loop.

HERE is the file


It works 80% of the time, and 20% of the time the last 4,5,6,7 letters is the same. but if I generate again it works.

Man, it doesn't need to be that complicated.

Try this: http://mfa.aquadasoft.com/view/1290607632-Example

Unnecessary to use both Parser and Tokenizer though.
Plus, the Chr$() expression is not really needed since you can also have a string that contains the alphabet ("ABCDEFG...") and then use Mid$("ABC",X,1) to get the Xth char.

Thanks alot for the example Jamie :-)
That was alot simpler than the one i made :-P

I didn't know of the char function in string parser 2 :-)

Tokenizer doesn't reparse the string every time you retrieve an element.

Plus, the Chr$() expression is not really needed since you can also have a string that contains the alphabet ("ABCDEFG...") and then use Mid$("ABC",X,1) to get the Xth char.

Slower!
