String that contains all ascii characters

I want to create a string in JavaScript that contains all ascii characters. How ca开发者_如何学运维n I do this?

---

var s = ' !"#$%&\'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\\]^_`abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~';

---

My javascript is a bit rusty, but something like this:

s = '';
for( var i = 32; i <= 126; i++ )
{
    s += String.fromCharCode( i );
}

Not sure if the range is correct though.

Edit:
Seems it should be 32 to 127 then. Adjusted.

Edit 2:
Since char 127 isn't a printable character either, we'll have to narrow it down to 32 <= c <= 126, in stead of 32 <= c <= 127.

---

Just loop the character codes and convert each to a character:

var s = '';
for (var i=32; i<=127;i++) s += String.fromCharCode(i);

---

Just wanted to put this here for reference. (takes about 13/100 to 26/100 of a ms on my computer to generate).

var allAsciiPrintables = JSON.stringify((Array.from(Array(126 + 32).keys()).slice(32).map((item) => {
    return String.fromCharCode(item);
})).join(''));

Decomposed:

var allAsciiPrintables = (function() {
    /* ArrayIterator */
    var result = Array(126 + 32).keys();    
    /* [0, 126 + 32] */
    result = Array.from(result);
    /* [32, 126 + 32] */
    result = result.slice(32);
    /* transform each item from Number to its ASCII as String. */
    result = result.map((item) => {
        return String.fromCharCode(item);
    });
    /* convert from array of each string[1] to a single string */
    result = result.join('');

    /* create an escaped string so you can replace this code with the string 
       to avoid having to calculate this on each time the program runs */
    result = JSON.stringify(result);

    /* return the string */
    return result;
})();

The most efficient solution(if you do want to generate the whole set each time the script runs, is probably)(takes around 3/100-35/100 of a millisecond on my computer to generate).

var allAsciiPrintables = (() => {
    var result = new Array(126-32);
    for (var i = 32; i <= 126; ++i) {
        result[i - 32] = (String.fromCharCode(i));        
    }
    return JSON.stringify(result.join(''));
})();

strangely, this is only 3-10 times slower than assigning the string literal directly(with backticks to tell javascript to avoid most backslash parsing).

var x;
var t;

t = performance.now();
x = '!\"#$%&\'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\\]^_`abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~';
t = performance.now() - t;
console.log(t);

.

This is a version written in python. Gives all ASCII characters in order as a single string.

all_ascii = ''.join(chr(k) for k in range(128))  # 7 bits
all_chars = ''.join(chr(k) for k in range(256))  # 8 bits
printable_ascii = ''.join(chr(k) for k in range(128) if len(repr(chr(k))) == 3)


>>> print(printable_ascii)
' !"#$%&\'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[]^_`abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~'

The last string here, printable_ascii contains only those characters that contain no escapes (i.e. have length == 1). The chars like: \x05, \x06 or \t, \n which does not have its own glyph in your system's font, are filtered out.

len(repr(chr(k))) == 3 includes 2 quotes that come from repr call.

Without doing several appends:

var s = Array.apply(null, Array(127-32))
  .map(function(x,i) {
    return String.fromCharCode(i+32);
  }).join("");
  document.write(s);

---

let str = '';// empty string declear
for( var i = 32; i <= 126; i++ )
{
    str = str + String.fromCharCode( i ); /* this method received one integer and

convert it into a ascii characters and store it str variable one by one by using string concatenation method. The loop start for 32 and end 126 */ }

---

Here is an ES6 one liner:

asciiChars = Array.from({ length: 95 }, (e, i) => String.fromCharCode(i + 32)).join('');

console.log(asciiChars)

Here is a version in coffeescript

require 'fluentnode'

all_Ascii = ->
  (String.fromCharCode(c) for c in  [0..255])

describe 'all Ascii', ->

  it 'all_Ascii', ->
    all_Ascii.assert_Is_Function()
    all_Ascii().assert_Size_Is 256
    all_Ascii()[0x41].assert_Is 'A'
    all_Ascii()[66  ].assert_Is 'B'
    all_Ascii()[50  ].assert_Is '2'
    all_Ascii()[150 ].assert_Is String.fromCharCode(150)
