I did mean that char type should accept/return only (as) numbers, no
ascii characters. On second thought, I realized that it might be too
restrictive and could cause another confusion to users, especially
when they reference the values. Likely to expect ascii characters. It
turned out I already did it once (:at this stage, I vaguely remembered
I indeed located and read about char type in the help...)
Part of my script:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
...
pgcl=dll.call("GetProcAddress|ui s ui",;;+
dll.call("GetModuleHandle|s ui","kernel32.dll"),"GetCommandLineA")
acl=dll.create_array(4,"c")
binary.set_dump_rules("h",esc("0t",0),esc("0x7E",0))
...
for(local i=4;i>0;i--)
binary.from_ascii_string("bb",acl[i])
pcline=eval(fill("0x00",replacechars(binary.dump("bb"),?"\",0)))+256*pcline
endfor
...

Definitely it'll be very helpful. I hope I never forget it again. :)
Thanks for considering it.
