How can i convert a set of ascii characters to string

Question

I have a set of ascii characters :

68,101,97,108

I want to convert this to a string :

Deal

in java script

Im currently doing something like :

var value = "68,101,97,108"; var convertedValue = ""; for (var i = 0; i < value.length; i++) { convertedValue += String.fromCharCode(parseInt(value[i], 2)); }

This returns a blank string

Not exactly related, but String.fromCharCode expects an Unicode value as arguments, not ASCII code. — Teemu

@Teemu. Yes, it expects a Unicode/UTF-16 code-unit, one or two of which encode a codepoint. @lokoko Unicode is a superset of ASCII and maps the same integers (codepoints) to the same characters. UTF-16 encodes all of those in one code-unit. So, String.fromCharCode() has the effect that you think it does without actually doing what you think it does. — Tom Blodget

You could get array valueArray from value then you iterate on it

var value = "68,101,97,108"; var convertedValue = ""; valueArray = value.split(",") for (var i = 0; i < valueArray.length; i++) { convertedValue += String.fromCharCode(valueArray[i]); } alert(convertedValue);
