Your question is way too ambiguous. Show us a typical string and what result you expect from it.

Am sending a characters in a string .. and I wanted to convert a character like 'A' to its ascii code to be int ( to be converted to 65 ) !

So typecast to U8 is the answer. I was confused since you said typecast did not work.

But when i tried it .. it displayed an int from 8 numbers !

I have no idea what that means....

If you have eight characters, you can use "string to byte array" to make it into an array of eight numbers.

If you see eight numbers in the U8 indicator, adjust the display format.

I made an constant 'A' to the input of the type cast but the output was 8 numbers too.
How is that ?

What did you wire to the "type input"?

What are "eight numbers"? A number with eight digits? A numeric array with 8 elements? A string with 8 numeric characters?
