| velda Unregistered User (12/13/99 1:03:05 pm) Reply | Edit | Del All | Neobook reserved characters are hindering my output I am in the middle of developing a tutorial for beginning programmers. When I use simple characters like the caret sign (^) or the brackets ([ ]) I get unpredicatable output. I know that the ^ and [ ] are used by Neobook, but is there a way I can mask them from Neobook to display normally? |

This makes it easy to write and understand NeoBook action scripts, but impossible to display one of those characters as part of a button title or write them to a data file. With NeoBook 3.2 you can overcome this limitation using a special variable that lets you specify characters using their ASCII codes. For example, the quote character is ASCII #34, which you would specify in NeoBook as [#34]. The # symbol tells NeoBook that this variable represents an ASCII character. Using this feature within an action command would look like this: AlertBox "Hello" "Look [#34]quotes.[#34]" Other special characters and their ASCII values include: " #34 [ #91 ] #93 | #124 { #123 } #125 |
