What exactly do you mean by "convert an integer to a dchar"? Do you mean converting an integer between 0 and 9 into a dchar representing its digit value, or do you mean creating a dchar containing the unicode code point represented by the int? For the former: dchar ch = '0' + intValue; (Though you will have to consider what should happen if intValue > 9.) For the latter: dchar ch = cast(dchar) intValue; T -- Those who've learned LaTeX swear by it. Those who are learning LaTeX swear at it. -- Pete Bleackley
