String of characters(array) to decimal value

[tacbanon]

Hello everyone, I was wondering if there is a way to convert a character to decimal value.

ArrayWrite myArray, ["Hello"]
 for i=1 to 5
        dec_value =  myArray[i] ' is there a way to convert this to a decimal?
 next i

So that I will have the following...
1. dec_value = 72 ' H
2. dec_value = 101 ' e
3. dec_value = 108 ' l
4. dec_value = 108 ' l
5. dec_value = 111 ' o

Thanks ,
