A quick method to enumerate the printable ascii characters with their hex & decimal values.

The following code relies on taking the “raw” value of a base 10 int (this gives a hex value), and then using the builtin function rawToChar, which gives a character. You can of course change the range (up to 255). Not sure and haven’t tested, but for UTF-8, may need ?Encoding (such as enc2utf8(x))

To use as a function that can accept an ascii character and return the decimal value, something like this:

asc

To use as a function to return the ascii character given it’s decimal code value, try something like this:

chr

To print the ascii table (for 32:126), try something like this:

coderange = c(32:126)
asciitable_printable = data.frame(
coderange,
as.raw(coderange),
row.names=rawToChar(as.raw(coderange),multiple=TRUE)
)

colnames(asciitable_printable) <- c("dec","hex")
asciitable_printable
