Is it possible to cast an ascii value to char?

Yea, basically just like that: cast(char)

*sorry*

Sure!

char A = cast(char) 65; // A
char a = cast(char) 97; // a

and back again:

ubyte b = cast(ubyte) a; // 65

In general there's also an entire module (https://dlang.org/phobos/std_ascii.html) that might help you for ASCII operations ;-)
