Getting Ascii code

[cognito]

Anybody know if there's a function to get the ascii value for a character? Like in VB, you can do Asc("a") or whatever.

Since Java is all Unicode, that's what it will return, although you can use String.charAt(index):

String sMyString = "A string";
char cNumber = sMyString.charAt(0);

cNumber now contains the Unicode character code for 'A'. A simple translation array would probably be a much better bet for doing this, though.
