You cannot do length in a PChar, it has no length information. I think this code is probably automatically converting the PChar to a Pascal String and then after that calling Length in the Pascal String, so your code is not very efficient. Pass the length of the PChar in an aditional parameter instead. Or write a routine which will count until the first #0 of the PChar to see how many characters it has. -- Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
