Greetings!

say I have an integer value representing an ASCII character, how do I get that
character?  I was looking through Phobos, but there was no easy way of finding
it and I knew you guys could help me.

thanks,

If the value is truely ASCII then it is any number from zero to 127
inclusive. Values outside that range are not ASCII.

  int val;
  char c;

  c = cast(char)val;

You should know, in C/C++ you could write:

int val;
char c;

c = (char)val;

I imagine however other languages may not be so "easy".
