number replaced by strings

[thomla]

Hi @ all,

how is it possible to replace numbers to strings like this:
Number String
1 ----> A
2 ----> B
3 ----> C
4 ----> D ....and so on!

If tried with the function "format value" but i've no idea, how i have to input the "Format-String"

Thanxs,

Ciao Thomas

If you are just trying to have them in numeric order i.e. A=1, B=2, etc., then here is a simple example. Otherwise
you can build an array constant to provide a conversion table, where you can put them in whatever order you want, then either use the index as your number, or search the 1D array for your char. and the index will be returned. In my attached example, remember that lowercase are different numbers. If you want "a" and "A" to return the same number then remember to put the lowercase to uppercase conversion (found in the string section" in before the string to U8 conversion.

Hi,

thanks for quick help, but there is one problem. the numbers i get from an other function. There is only one input with one number between 0-26. In your solution i have to write it in any way in a Byte-array and than i can change it in a string. is there any other solution?

Thanxs again!

The attached shows how to convert 1->A, 2->B as your original question asked. With an input of 0, it will output the string "@" (ASCII 0x40). You didn't specify what you wanted 0 translated as but it would be an easy modification to whatever you want.

Yes. ASCII Table. A = 0d65 =0x41.

Edit: Oops.
