AsciiBase

Returns or sets the number base of the digits that an ASCII escape sequence captures.

Get

Returns an AsciiEscapeBase value.

Syntax: object.AsciiBase

object
required An object expression that evaluates to an EscapeSequence.

The default value is Octal. The value matters only when IsAsciiCharacter is True.

Let

Declared Friend. Sets the number base.

Syntax: object.AsciiBase = value

value
An AsciiEscapeBase value: Octal (0) or Hexadecimal (1).

Remarks

Create sets the property from its base argument. Execute reads the captured digits with the prefix &O for Octal and &H for Hexadecimal.

Example 

Dim esc As EscapeSequence
Set esc = EscapeSequence.Create("\\x(\w{2})", vbNullString, True, Hexadecimal)
Debug.Print esc.AsciiBase  ' 1

Set esc = EscapeSequence.Create("\\(\d{3})", vbNullString, True)
Debug.Print esc.AsciiBase  ' 0
