If I have a string created as follows...

x=CHR(255)+CHR(85)+CHR(0)+CHR(16)+CHR(0)+CHR(0)

What is the fastest way to retrieve a specified byte as an integer?

bytenum=2
? asc(substr(x,bytenum,1)) 

...is all I could think of.


FYI - This is a value returned from an api call. In vb I could use a struct but as far as I know vfp has nothing like that.
