Imagine I have the following string:

var st="áéíóú";

if I perform a println(st); I get:

áéíóú

Correct!! Now, if I do the following:

println(st[2]);

I get:

237

Ok, I have to convert it to a character, so I do the following:

println(tostring(st[2],"c");

but I get:

Ì

instead of "é". "Ì" was not even in the original string!!

How can I get individual characters from inside a string, correctly evaluated? Thank you very much in advance for any solution.

Do:

    
    
    var st="áéíóú";  
    var i = 2-1;  
    println(strmid(st,i,1));

Note that strings are of course 0-indexed as well as arrays in C.O.F.F.E.E.

Thank you, Mikael.
The solution I found is not far from it. This is what I did:

  
add_char(line,char)  
{  
if(char<127) line=stradd(line,tostring(char,"c"));  
else  
line=stradd(line,strmid("?áéíóúàèìòùÁÉÍÓÚÀÈÌÒÙãÃâÂêÊîÎôÔûÛçÇñÑäÄëËïÏöÖüÜ",strchr(" áéíóúàèìòùÁÉÍÓÚÀÈÌÒÙãÃâÂêÊîÎôÔûÛçÇñÑäÄëËïÏöÖüÜ",char),1));  
}

While calling this routine with add_char(&line;,char);
