ack, my email didn't catch up ;-0
You can get the ASCII value of a 'letter' but using....
Int x = 'a';
So you could write a function that walks through the string and adds up the
values. I don't know offhand of a function that does this already though
there may be one.
Int16 GetStringValue(Char* string)
{
Int16 i,len, total = 0;
len = StrLen(string);
for(i = 0; i < len; i++)
{
total += string[i];
}
return total;
}
