He was writing the address of the string to the stream, so SizeOf is correct for that. I think you meant to suggest VStream.Write(Hash[1], Length(Hash)); to write the actual string data to the file, rather than its address. Also, if you're writing strings to streams, you usually need to delimit them to separate them from other data; ie. write #0 or #10 (or #13#10) after the string, depending on the circumstances. But it sounds like the problem has been solved anyway. Cheers, Carl _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list [email protected] http://ns3.123.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/delphi
