AscToChar: Converts ASCII Codes to Characters and Vice Versa
Description
AscToChar returns a character for each ASCII code (integer) supplied.
CharToAsc returns integer codes in 0:255 for each (one byte) character in strings.
AscToChar and CharToAsc return a
vector of the same length as their argument.
Details
Only codes in 1:127 make up the ASCII encoding which should be
identical for all Rversions, whereas the upper half
is often determined from the ISO-8859-1 (aka ISO-Latin 1)
encoding, but may well differ, depending on the locale setting, see
also Sys.setlocale.
Note that 0 is no longer allowed since, Rdoes not allow
\0 aka nul characters in a string anymore.
