Hi - I built a tiny .doc file with MS Word 2000 containing the text:
hello - world Word did change the dash to a "long" dash on the screen. Next, I opened the .doc file in binary mode (I my case, using the C++ built-in editor) and found that line: 48 65 6C 6C 6F 20 96 20 77 6F 72 6C 64 0D 0D 0D -or- h e l l o -- w o r l d So the long dash is hex 96 or chr (150) Aloha => Beau. -----Original Message----- From: Gabby Dizon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, July 30, 2002 8:23 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: chr help Hi, I have a subroutine that finds commonly found Unicode characters that Microsoft Word uses (such as "smart quotes") and converts them to plain ASCII text. However, there is one character whose chr() value I can't seem to find - the MS Word long dash, which automatically replaces the normal (short dash) when you press Enter. Does anyone know or can point me to a location where I can find the chr() value of this character? All replies are greatly appreciated.
