Support for the general idea, but it should be Unicode (which uses the same characters as ASCII for 0-127 anyway). It would be useful for things like cloud encoding.

Why do you not support ASCII? No support.
If it was Unicode (which uses the same characters as ASCII for 0-127) I would support - it would be useful for things like cloud encoding.

Also please try not to make so many threads in the same forum type in 1 day…

Yes it is - it's just less useful than unicode.Because it isn't useful for things like cloud encoding.Why do you not support ASCII? No support.

Why is everybody no supporting? This block would be indescribably useful - so many times I've wanted to use something like this but it simply doesn't exist, and the workaround is incredibly painful due to Scratch's case-insensitivity.
Unicode would, of course, be even better.

Because it's less useful - any character not in ASCII would presumably report nothing, and the block would only really be useful for English.Why do you not support ASCII? No support.

I've edited my post to make it clearer that I support the general idea.

Would also like a reverse block as well:

Isn't that exactly the same thing as the OP? The reverse of this would be Support.
Would also like a reverse block as well:(decimal of [A] :: operators) // 65
(ASCII (65) :: operators) // Awhich would also be useful to ad, but like the first block it should use Unicode.

I like that! I would support that block, it would be very useful to making an ascii key detector.Isn't that exactly the same thing as the OP? The reverse of this would be Support.

I think it is easier to use lists like in @griffpatch’s detector. It would be difficult to make this support different languages. It would at least need to use an extended character set, but even that doesn’t cover non Latin alphabets. With the item # of in list block, it’s pretty easy to make this block yourself.I like that!

No support. Besides cloud encryption, I don’t really see a purpose for it. And even then, it’s pretty easy to make a cloud engine. It could also pose a minor threat to the community because cloud engines would be easier to make, thus more would be out there.

That's some mad necroposting.
Necroposting is allowed on the “Suggestions” forum.
@Gabriel2900 The ST is currently trying to stay away from overly-complicated cloud scripts so I don't this is a good idea - you can't do much other than use this for cloud stuff. This could be easily used for creating a cloud list with 127 items, and that would make chatting projects easier to create and only whitelisted ones are allowed on Scratch.

g'day support
the australian curriculum requires students have a working knowledge of converting decimal to binary and back.
ascii is part of this, so i support having a simple way to achieve this.
like the legendary mswlogo did

I still stick with my older opinion, but I made a project that allows you to convert only alphabets into ASCII code. Read the “Instructions” before using it if you are going to (I only made this so people who want alphabet to ASCII conversions could happily have it).
