Is there an AGS version of the ASC() function?

I'm just trying to return the Letter of an ASCII code.
Something like :

Code: ags

String MyString = ASC(65);

Can't find nothing on the Helpfiles.

help!!

Erm you could do this:

Code: ags

String MyString = String.Format("%c", 65);

or:

Code: ags

String MyString = "";
MyString = MyString.AppendChar(65);

Wyz! you're a King.
(BTW I just do that cuz of your Joystick Pluging, so tx )

Just for completeness sake if you ever needed the reverse operation (ord) then it's also pretty simple in AGS:

Code: ags

int ord = 'A'; // convert character-literal to ASCII value
char c = 'A';
ord = c; // convert char to ASCII value
String s = "A";
ord = s.Chars[0]; // convert specific character in a String to ASCII value

Tx Monkey, it can be also useful if I want the keyboard to stay active instead of the joystick.
