Still not in the .NET era where EVERYTHING is an object Even a string
You could have the likes of Var K : string; Begin K:='chris'; Showmessage(k.uppercase); // gives CHRIS Showmessage(k.reverse); // gives SIRHC .. .. Anyway just a dream for now!

I didn't realize it was a function. I thought it was a property of the array. Thanks! Tom Nesler -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chris @ IT Try length(StrArray) Chris Albert, Innovative Technologies. http://www.it.co.ke/beta -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nesler, Thomas J I am using Delphi 5. I need to work with Dynamic arrays. Reading in the help file it says that: 'Once a Dynamic array has been allocated, you can pass it to the standard functions Length, High and Low. Length returns the number of elements in the array, ...' I can't seem to get this to work. When I try to compile I get this error: '[Error] Unit1.pas(34): Record, object or class type required' Here is some sample code I used to try to figure out how to work with dynamic arrays: procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject); Var StrArray : Array of String; I :integer; begin SetLength(StrArray,20); For I := 0 to 19 do Strarray[I]:= IntToStr(I) + 'Data'; label1.Caption := IntToStr(Strarray.length); <-----Error here end; ************ End of code ***************** What am I doing wrong? I realize this code is contrived but I should be able to derive what the size of an array is via this method, right? Thanks in advance! Tom Nesler Live long!... Code Well!... and Prosper!...
