Purpose |
Translate a Unicode string into an ANSI
|
|
Syntax |
a$ = ACODE$(UnicodeStrExpression) |
|
Remarks |
ACODE$ returns the ANSI, multi-byte equivalent string of the Unicode string contained in UnicodeStrExpression. To convert an ANSI string into Unicode, use the UCODE$ function. Unicode strings require two bytes to represent a Unicode character, whereas ANSI strings (the native PowerBASIC string format) use one byte to represent a character. Therefore, ACODE$ returns a string that has half of the byte count of the Unicode string, yet represents the same number of characters. |
