String character => Integer conversion

String character => Integer conversion

Is this possible in a fast way? I thought of using some kind of ASCII table,
then traverse it to look for the character but that will take some time
(if many conversions are done).
Is there a faster method?


EDIT: Oh, and by this conversion I mean for example: 'A' => 65

I can't think of something else in WC3.
But you should have posted that into the function pack thread. I mean, it's not wrong to post it here, but there are more people looking for function development.

If you want to I can do that function. But I'll wait for your response.

Not for my sake, I can make it myself. If you meant for that other thread you can do it if you like.

OK, do it, and post it into the other thread. dataangel is working on a site for functions. All functions, that are posted into that thread, will also be added to that site (when it's done).
