Am I on the right track?

I don’t know if I completely understand what is meant by “Re-number all visible ascii characters,” but the output I’ve got with the following JavaScript code seems similar to the output I’ve seen in other posts:

var str1 = (document.getElementsByTagName(‘textarea’)[0].value);
var str2=str1.split(“,”);
var strArr=[]

//Get numbers in string, push them into array
for (var x=0;x<str2.length;x++){
var y=parseInt(str2[x])
strArr.push(y)

}

//Remove “NaN” values from array
for (var a=0;a<strArr.length;a++){
if (isNaN(strArr[a]))
strArr.splice(a,1)
}

var strArr2=[]

//Get charcode values of numbers
for(var b=0;b<strArr.length;b++){
strArr2.push(String.fromCharCode(strArr[b]))
}
console.log(strArr2)
[/Spoiler]

Output from this:

[Spoiler]
[“1”, “5”, “7”, “6”, “”, “+”, “=”, “5”, “:”, “5”, “0”, “”, “/”, “/”, “)”, “,”, “‘”, “=”, “+”, “”, “6”, “9”, “+”, “9”, “0”, “/”, “,”, “;”, “=”, “0”, “0”, “/”, “”, “+”, “=”, “%”, “”, “6”, “9”, “%”, “=”, “8”, “”, “9”, “,”, “=”, “1”, “/”, “0”, “7”, “6”, “=”, “+”]

The output to this numbers will result in a meaningful phrase. I suggest you reverse the method for crypt explained in level.

OK, I took a break from this one for a while but I’m still not 100% clear. Is the code below a valid implementation of the first step? I find it kinda hard to determine what we’re supposed to do.

var str1 = (document.getElementsByTagName(‘textarea’)[0].value);

var solution = str1.split(/[\s,]+/);

for (var x=0;x<solution.length-1;x++)
solution[x]=solution[x]-32
document.getElementsByTagName(‘textarea’)[1].value=solution

i try to pass this level with python, i do the first level with.
for exemple have :

61,48,37, ,39,61,48,42,43, ,59,61,48, ,43,54,57, ,60,57,59,61,41,43,57, ,60,57,57,48, ,54,57,44, ,54,53,43, ,37,57,42, ,39,47,41,50,58

i back :
any wants can she because been her his yet would

It’s the good pattern for the respond ? or i will send : a,n,y, ,w,a,n,etc….. ?

you are almost on the right track, just see the encryption technique again for proper understanding, you are missing a step.
And there’s also some logical mistake in your second code

hello guys, sorry help me a little, I’m still new and I can not decode this chain, because I do not even know the principle, so if you can give me some advice

The numbers' meaning is explained, follow the link on the level page.

I’m having trouble following the encryption algorithm:

example string: ‘dog’
char length: 3
new ascii values: 4, 15, 7

“Take this value, and subtract it from the total number of visible ASCII characters.”

3-4, 3-15, 3-7
-1, -12, -4.

“Get the character at this position.”
??? There are no negative ascii codes.

Your total number of visible ASCII characters is wrong.

Anyone available for a private message? Just tackled this one for the first time in a looong time, I’m successfully decrypting it to intelligible English words, but it still comes up “incorrect.”
