Andrei: The docs say "Return ASCII value of character", which doesn't
make sense for binary. You can use bin2hex(), bin2hex() == ord()
for binary.
(Which is not true, as it doesn't return the ordinal value, just a two
digit hex string)
Derick: anyway, ord() always worked on string like this, seems
strange to break it (and yes, it already did)
Andrei: you had binary strings before?
Derick: normal strings of course, but it came from a file, so it turned
binary and ord() started failing
Andrei: Then you should fix your code and convert that binary to
something sensible if you are reading text
Derick: it's not text, it's binary
Andrei: if it's binary, why do you need to know the ascii value
Derick: Because I'm converting a binary file to a C file (for the
timezone database)
Then he continues saying that it's Ok to break BC in unicode mode.
regards,
Derick
