Rookie Question, Please bear with me

[Doghouse]

I know there is probably something very simple to do this, but I'm just not seeing it (or mopre likely not looking in the right place.) Is there a way to assign a letter value to a variable andd have ith increase one letter at a time? Example, the variable starts with a value of "A", and is increased one letter at a time, "B", "C", "D"...

While I'm looking for help, can anyone point me in the right direction for another question? I'm trying to find a way to get a value for the previous day's date in mmddyy format. It's something that's easy to think about and simple for a human. I'm still banging my head on the proverbial wall to automate the porcess.

Thanks in advance for your time, assistance and knowledge.

$text = ""
For $i = 65 to 90
    $text = $text & Chr($i)
Next
MsgBox(0, "Uppercase alphabet", $text)

#include <Date.au3>
StringReplace(_DateAdd( 'd', -1, _NowCalcDate()),'/','')

Like this?

For $iX = 65 To 90
    ConsoleWrite(Chr($iX) & @CRLF)
Next
