Hi Steve,

a word of advice: do not use the name of an existing function as identifier
for
a variable ( I am referring to your usage of str as the name of the
variable - you are reassigning it!!!). But back to your question:
What you're looking for is:

s = "A B"
for c in s:
    print ord(c)

HTH,

Vincent Wehren






know the characters will be printable ASCII.
