i haven't tried that... my understanding is that #xx depicts the decimal
format of the character...
eg : $FF == #255
It is rather #$FF which is the same as #255, like Chr(255)
this worked, pat... thanks for the pointer!
but i'm still confused as to what # means to indicate... i've always understood
it to indicate the decimal value of a raw byte whereas $ indicates the hex
value of a raw byte... i haven't found anything showing the use of #$xxx though
:/
'#' indicates a character. This is followed by either a decimal or
hexadecimal ('$') value (maybe - in FPC - binary ('%') and octal ('&')
values are possible as well).
