what is ASCII from here this mt5 codepage list?

[Carl Schreiber]

Hi,

I have to send and will receive ASCII - code from/to the other side of a named pipe.

Here https://www.mql5.com/en/docs/constants/io_constants/codepageusage

I found lots of encodings - but which one is the old fashioned ASCII ?

Thanks in advance,

Gooly

Code page is irrelevant. You have to convert your strings (Unicode) to ASCII. and back.

But to convert a string from Unicode to ASCII and vice versa I use StringToCharArray and that needs a code page!
