ascii code and accents

hi,

When I type this :

Code:

---

printf("%c, %s, %c, %i\n", 133, "Ã*", "Ã*", "Ã*");

---

the result is :

Code:

---

Ã*, Ó, è, 4199050

---

In extended ascci table, the code of 'Ã*' is 133.

How can I have the (extended) ascii code from a char string with accents ?

My main goal is to use the ascii code to find letters in a texture to write a text with accent on screen.

Doas another methode exist ?

Thanks

you need to use single quotes around your characters, not double quotes.

'c' is a character, while "s" is a string (pointer to an array of characters).

Thanks Sam.

But I tried this

Code:

---

printf("%c, %s, %c, %i\n", 133, "Ã*", 'Ã*' , 'Ã*');

---

and the return is :

Code:

---

Ã*, Ó, Ó, -32

---

???

i ran into a similiar problem and this is what I used.

Code:

---

char a='Ã*';
int j=(int)a;
int i=(int)a &0xFF;
printf(" %c = %d not %d \n",a,i,j);

---

and here is the output

Code:

---

Ã* = 224 not -32
