I was wondering if anyone has done a type-writing code or something using character set 176/177/178 before? if so, wanna explain how you would go about doing so? |

this outputs the plus or minus symbol I believe... |

Well (176-78 are bars ) Ill try it out, and post my results, so you can understand what i mean better. Edit Well i cant find the proper chr, ill have to run through afew of them i suppose, my textbook is wrong. Found out that im not looking for chr ( not ASCII values returned by getch) The Turing Character Set 1= Smiley Emoticon 2= Circle 3= Heart Etc Etc 176/177/178 = Bar || Anyway im guessing the code would look like this. X meaing the bar chr put chr (X) delay (20) put " B" put chr (X) delay (20) put " L " put chr (X) delay (20) put " A " put chr (X) delay (20) put " H " put chr (X) you get the idea, maybe there is an easier way to do it, i dont know. It should give it the effect of the bar being infront of the letter before you type it? Im having trouble explaining it, as you surely see. |

So does anyone know the character set for bar? my book says its 176/177/178 yet it brings up the ascii character set. |

i'm not quite sure i understand what you're asking. but if you're asking for the character code for "|", it's 124. so, put chr(124) will output "|" |
