    Default ASCII

    I'm bumbed out, all I can do is ASCII for English characters.
    I parse a lot of strings using it.
    No other languages.

    There was some posts about changing language pack inside Autocad, would the assci then work but as a different character ? I dont really want to change my language to test.

    Other way may be to make your own character ids a=1 b=2 A=27 and check removing if match occurs.

    I thought of using a LIST of characters, and test using MEMBER

    I have discovered extended ascii codes.
    does anyone have a good table reference?
    Hopefully I can include characters from other languages.

    An engineer friend installed Chinese to produce something but had to uninstall it to get back to working. It wasn't an easy switch.

    A simpler way is to explore TTF. Try using word "symbol" in search for true type fonts.

    Dont think of TTF as just a-z they can be anything press "a" and a house appears. We had hundreds of traffic signs.

    here's an example table, the numbers don't line up with autocad ASCII extended command codes

    ASCII does spit out a code though

    The extended characters are not the same in every font what your link shows is for more normal fonts.

    Go C:\windows\fonts pick a font then "Find a character" it will show all the characters. Win10

    do you think if i went through the extended ascii set character by character with the ASCII command i could create my own table of numbers that will work as well as the original ascii set does?

    Ok I wrote a autolisp program to step through each of the extended ascii characters spread sheet and give me the character code.
    Attached is the result.
