The following entry in the Free Pascal contributed units was modified: Name : StrWrap1 (String Wrapper) Author : Lars aka L505 Email : fpcunits1(at)z505(dot)com Homepage : http://z505.com FTP site : http://positivesale.com/freePascal/strings/StrWrap1.zip Version : 1.0b Date : 2005-06-26 Category : File Handling Supported OS : Linux, Windows, other Description : Some string functions to make getting data out of a text files easy, without using stringlists. <p> Sometimes you find a StringList <b>overkill</b>, when all you need is some simple string operations. <p> This unit is essentially a wrapper for readln, assign, reset (that annoying low level you don't need, in simple string and file operations). <pre> StrLoadFile <i>get entire file into a string var</i> GetLn1 <i>get first line contents from text file into a string var</i> GetLnN <i>get Nth line from text file into a string var</i> </pre>
Update: Version b now offers <pre> ArrayLoadFile <i>get entire file into an array of strings</i> ArrayLoadLines <i>get only the first N lines into an array of strings</i> StrLoadLines <i>get only the first N lines into a string var</i> </pre> You do not need to include the hefty 'classes' unit when using these functions alone. The file is not loaded into the memory - only the precise lines that you want. Whereas a stringlist loads the entire file into memory no matter what. _______________________________________________ fpc-announce maillist - fpc-announce@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-announce
