Noob question string problem

Rails
1

Hu there guys,

I hava some problem with the strings, the double-quoted ones.

here is my code :

a = “parsley”

but a[0] returns 112 which is ASCII for ‘o’ not ‘p’
the same for a[1] a[2] they all return the incorrect ascii code for my
characters…

is somethig wrong with my ruby or my code??

Thx in advance for all your time and help,
radu

I think something’s wrong with the ASCII lookup table you’re using :slight_smile:

I’d agree with Hassen here. p is 112 decimal.
