llOrd

Summary

Function: integer llOrd( string val, integer index );

?	Function ID
0.0	Forced Delay
10.0	Energy

Calculate the ordinal value for a character in a string.
Returns an integer

• string	val	–	Source string for character ordinal.
• integer	index	–	Index of character ordinal to retrieve.

index supports negative indexes. The returned value is the UTF-32 value of the character at the specified index. If index is outside the bounds of the string, this function returns 0.

Specification

Index	Positive	Negative
First	0	-length
Last	length - 1	-1

Indexes

• Positive indexes count from the beginning, the first item being indexed as 0, the last as (length - 1).

• Negative indexes count from the far end, the first item being indexed as -length, the last as -1.

Caveats

• If index is out of bounds the script continues to execute without an error message.
