Thanks Ross. I could always use some form of encryption on the string before I decrypt it when I need it instead of using simple offsets.

Then Dec each char by the same amount when being used.

But the longer the string the more characters I have to hide. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tom Hahn Sent: 28 April 2005 13:43 To: 'Borland's Delphi Discussion List' Subject: RE: Array of byte to string conversion Couldn't the data be protected by splitting into 1 character constants and storing at different place in the program (and reassembled as needed?) This would prohibit a contiguous string from being examined. _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list -> [email protected] http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list -> [email protected] http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi
