Printing characters in C by referring to the ASCII code

[Joseph A Benaiah_1]

Is it possible to print out charaters in a C program by refering to the the ASCII code in much the same way as the tr program does in UNIX.

Cheers,

Joseph.

int main () {
int i ;

for (i=1;i<=127;i++) {
printf ("%03d: %c\n", i, i) ;
}
}

What do you think tr itself is written in?

[ian Dennison]

yes by using escape sequences within printf

eg printf("\007"); /* prints bell char */
eg printf("\066"); /* prints A or B (I forget which) */

The 3 digit code after the \ is the ascii code to be printed.

Share and Enjoy! Ian

Graham/Ian,

Thanks for your response. I actually worked it out 10 minutes after posting this question.

Anyway your answers are worth 10 points.

Cheers,

Joseph
