Convert ASCII Characters to Decimal Representation
DESCRIPTION:
Convert a given ASCII character string to corresponding decimal integer
representation.
USAGE:
AsciiToInt(strings)
REQUIRED ARGUMENTS:
strings:
a vector of character strings.
VALUE:
a vector giving the ASCII decimal integer values for the characters
in string.
The length of the returned vector is sum(nchar(strings)).
DETAILS:
This function can be used to determine how ASCII characters map
to decimals so that they can be represented in functions which require
integers, for example the marks argument to legend.
