can one convert a string of length one into a char?
ie the below wont work:
program t(input,output); var ch:char; s:string(10); begin s:='teststring'; writeln(substr(s,2,1)); ch:=substr(s,2,1); writeln(ord(ch)); end.
so, if one needs to get the ascii value of a particular value in a string, does one have to fall back to the std pascal of using packed array of char?
