Hi Everybody,
I'm trying to figure out what the opposite of Chr$(10)... "line feed" is, does one exist?
Cheers Eddie

No, there is no "backward" line feed. Chr$(8) which is a backspace, repeated, is about as close as you can get. What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

The function Asc(string) is the opposite of Chr(number). Chr returns a string, and Asc returns a number.

Sorry Eddie. The ASCII character set was set up during the time of teletypes (where TTY: comes from) and as such, there was no concept of reverse line-feeds to worry about including. Linq is on the money with this one.
