Chr

Chr (the global function) is here for compatibility with Visual Basic. You should instead use TextEncoding.Chr, for example Encodings.UTF8.Chr(9) for a tab.

Method

Returns the character whose Unicode code point is passed.

Usage

result = Chr(value)

Part	Type	Description
result	String	The character whose Unicode code point was passed.
value	Integer	The numeric value ("code point") of the character you want, which must be a valid Unicode character.

Notes

The Chr function returns a string in ASCII encoding for values less than 128 and a UTF-8 encoded string for all other values. If you need to control the exact byte value, you should instead call ChrB.

Sample Code

This code use the Chr function to return the characters whose ASCII values are specified.

Var tab, CR As String
tab = Chr(9) // returns a tab
CR = Chr(13) // returns carriage return
CR = Encodings.ASCII.Chr(13) // also returns carriage return
