# CHAROR()

Combine corresponding ASCII value of two strings with bitwise OR

Syntax

  CHAROR (<[@]cString1>, <cString2>) --> cOrString

Arguments

  <[@]cString1> first string <cString2> second string

Returns

  <cOrString> string with bitwise OR combined ASCII values

Description

  The CHAROR() function constructs a new string from the two strings passed as parameters. To do this, it combines the ASCII values of the corresponding characters of both strings with a bitwise OR-operation and places a character in the resulting string whose ASCII value equals to the result of that operation. If the first string is passed by reference, the resulting string is stored in <cString1>, too. By setting the CSETREF()-switch to .T., the return value can be omitted. If <cString2> is shorter than <cString1> and the last character of <cString2> has been processed, the function restarts with the first character of <cString2>.

Examples

          // set the LSB
          ? charor ("012345678", chr(1)) --> "113355779"
          ? charor ("012345678", chr(1)+chr(3)) --> "133357779"
    Tests
          charor ("012345678", chr(1)) == "113355779"
          charor ("012345678", chr(1)+chr(3)) == "133357779"
