Convert String to Char

[Guest_imported]

How exactly do you do this?

I was under the impression that this:

tf = new TextField(1);
x = tf.getText();
sL = x.charAt(0) ;

converted it, but this gives an out of bounds error when compiled.

Can anyone help?

That's because you have to make sure that the string length is non-zero before you index into it:

if (x.length() > 0)
sL = x.charAt(0)

When you first create a text field, it has no text in it so when you call gettext on it it returns an empty string (zero length).
