Hello, Subject maybe not technically correct, but there is something where I have no explanation for it:
procedure Test(const S: string); begin WriteLn(Length(S)); end; procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject); var P: PChar; begin AllocConsole; GetMem(P, 512); FillChar(P^, 511, ' '); P[511] := #0; Test(P + ^Z); // displays 256 Test(string(P) + ^Z); // displays 512 wich is correct FreeMem(P); end; Wy is the length of the first string only 256 ? I try this in Delphi 7. --- Rgds, Wilfried http://www.mestdagh.biz __________________________________________________ Delphi-Talk mailing list -> Delphi-Talk@elists.org http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi-talk
