    All the ASCII characters

    Where can I look up a table of all the ascii characters and their number value?

    Write your own prog to do it!

    Or :
    http://www.asciitable.com/
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]

    just make a loop in a program, for example:

    for(int i = 0; i < 256; i++)
    cout << char(i) << "\t";

    which should output all the ASCII codes to your screen.

    enjoy.

    yes, but with that loop you'd get some strange results for the first bunch of them because the first batch are command/control chars (\n, \0, etc.)

    Hey well that loop really is a good idea, I wish I had gotten the air out of my head and thought of it.

    Thanks.
