I'm not entirely sure what you mean. Are you wanting to convert the decimal number 253 to an octal number? With Google, I quickly found:
http://mindprod.com/jgloss/octal.html http://www.janeg.ca/scjp/oper/binhex.html Search for octal on this page:
http://www.informit.com/isapi/product_id~%7BEA69C2ED-DC6B-4BF6-98C7-188657565E9E%7D/content/index.asp You might be looking for something like this:
char octal253 = '\253';
My
Dr. Java interpreter shows me that that character looks like: �
Whoops--you want 254--that's �
But I suppose I shouldn't necessarily go by that, because there have been times when I've needed the hex 253 character to use as a separator, and it looks like |, but come to think of it, maybe that's just what it got converted to or something, because in the interpreter,
String separatorChar = "\u00fd";
ends up looking like �
Now I'm starting to confuse myself--I wonder how this is all going to display on the page. Anyway, depending on what you want,
you should be able to find it pretty easily.
