ASCII codes from string (Borland C++ Builder)

I am searching for an equivalent of the VisualBasic function Asc() to get the ASCII code of a letter.
I'm using Borland C++ Builder 5 and AnsiString data types. This is my code:

Code:

---

AnsiString strText = txtInput->Text[2] //To get only the 2nd character of the Edit box

---

Use the "char" data type. It contains a single character, which is that characters ASCII value.

Z.

I have heard of this, but how can I get the ASCII code from the char variable? Can you give me an example?

I just got it by myself:

Code:

---


char chrBuffer;
int intBuffer;

for (int i = 1; i <= StrLen(strText.c_str()); i++)
    {
    chrBuffer = txtKlartext->Text[1];
    intBuffer = chrBuffer;
    txtASCII->Text = txtASCII->Text + IntToStr(intBuffer);
    }

---

Thx for the hint! :)

or you can do

PHP Code:

---

char cTst = 'a';

//get ascii value
printf("%d", int(cTst)); //print out 65

printf("%c", char(65)); //print out 'a'
