AppleScript versus Pascal

[ErikN]

I’m new to AppleScript. Can anyone tell me how to translate char(34) and ord(‘u’) from Pascal to AppleScript?

It’s been nearly 15 years since my Pascal days. If “char()” returns the ASCII character for a number and “ord()” does the opposite (I’m guessing here), then try this AS code:

set the_num to ASCII number “u”
set the_char to ASCII character 34
return {the_num, the_char}
