Okay it's not entirely straight forward. I took a simple array from a datagrid
with one record and ran this on it:
on mouseUp pButtonNumber
put the dgData of group "dgsites" into aSiteData
put arrayencode(aSiteData) into tSiteData
repeat for each char tChar in tSiteData
add 1 to tCounter
if cleanAscii(tChar) is not empty then next repeat
put tCounter & tab & charToNum(tChar) & cr after tAscii
end repeat
set the itemDelimiter to tab
sort lines of tAscii numeric by item 2 of each
put tAscii
end mouseUp
This returns a tab delimited list of position and non-printing ascii characters
ranging from 0 to 58. What the ascii characters designate is the mystery. Any
documentation on that?
