I wasn't aware that we can get the ordinal numbers of characters that way.
Thanks!
In cases where I am looking for the other way round, getting the character
from its ordinal number, I intuitively always first try (though to no avail)
printf "%c%c\n" 95 58
As a workaround I still resort to
$( echo 95P | dc )
$( echo 58P | dc )
Is there a simple *builtin* way for the other way round, get the character
from its ordinal number? I seem to recall there was, but don't remember.
typeset -i8 c=95
printf "\\${c#*#}\n"
