a vector of integer ASCII codes

Description

This function converts Scilab string to a vector of ASCII code (the first 127 codes are ASCII) or vector of ASCII code to Scilab strings.

If txt is a matrix of string, ascii(txt) is equivalent to ascii(strcat(txt)).

If the ASCII code is out of range (eg. 0 or greater than 127) a warning is displayed except on ascii([0 ...]) or ascii([... 0]).

Examples

ascii(["hello";"world"])
ascii("scilab")
ascii([115 99 105 108 97 98])
