I have a uint8 array of numbers that contain the decimal value for an ascii character that I want to convert to a string. When I attempt to do so, the string contains the value and not a character. I want the string to end up being "ABCDE" but it ends up being "6566676869". See sloppy code example below. Any help would be appreciated.

uint8[5] foo;
string msg;

msg = "";
foo(0) = 65;
foo(1) = 66;
foo(2) = 67;
foo(3) = 68;
foo(4) = 69;
for( int i=0; I<5; i++)
{
msg += foo;
}

I don't know of an ez way to do this in the current release. You might poke around in the angelscript docs to see if there is a way. I'm working on making this much easier in 2.7 by allowing you to work with byte arrays more easily.

Hello dberezowski,

You were close, when you want add a character to a string by using the integer valule of the ASCII character you need to treat the string as an array of characters: You also need to make sure you have enough array elements avaible so if you start with an empty string you need to resize if before you start writing to the elements: Regards,

Thanks ksaenz,

I learned something new too
