Hi allMaybe already known?Whilst working on my FMC scratchpad I needed to change number characters to values.Found string operater "val" worked. So with a concatenated chr number string it Converts number strings to integer and floating point values that accept usual FS manipulation.Only tested so far in FS9 and missing from the SDK.

Hi,Would you please post and example format. Thanks. Very interesting.Bob

Hi BobFS9 XML is<Macro Name="ScratchPadNumber">(L:ScratchSymb:0,number) chr val (L:ScratchSymb:1,number) chr val (L:ScratchSymb:2,number) chr val (L:ScratchSymb:3,number) chr val (L:ScratchSymb:4,number) chr val (L:ScratchSymb:5,number) chr val (L:ScratchSymb:6,number) chr val scat scat scat scat scat scat </Macro>Paul

Interesting! The 'chr' is covered in the FSX SDK, the 'val' is not mentioned at all:

chr Converts a number to a symbol, 1 operator requiredExample: 65 chr will return 'A'

Is 'val' actually needed?

Hi BillIt would not concatenate without "val", But I restarted the computer and now it works without.Very strange!!And the insert code snippet still does not work for me.Paul
