text() and println()

as usual, feel free to tell me this isn't a bug.
when i try the following code, the letter 'f' is printed on screen, while the number '102' is printed in the prompt... shouldn't println() and text() display the same thing?
Code://lines[] is an array of String values.
char a=char(int(lines[15].charAt(2)));
text(a,30,50);
println(a);

i don't see any bug here...
it's just the assumption that println() and text() should display the same thing that seems uncorrect to me:
i think println() is simply much smarter, it can take variant types (String, float, etc.) as input, while text() can only accept String or char...

whups, that actually is a bug.. we didn't have a version of print() and println() for char, so instead it was turning the char into an int when it printed to the console. i've just made the fix so it'll be available in rev 56 (available in the next week, hopefully).
as always, thanks for the note.. good find..

lol, dont worry bout it arielm 
as a matter of curiosity, suppose i had a char, and i wanted to output with text() its numeric value, how would i do it? the old reference section used to have something on this i think, but i can't find it anymore...

i would make a new assumption stating that, given a char c, the following:
Code:| text(new Integer(c).toString(), x, y) |
|
could solve the problem (a bit overkill, isn't it?)

yeah, or:
text(String.valueOf((int) c), x, y);
but it's one of those annoying overkill things in java
