Pchar ?
You seem to miss my point: the n'th printable character in an utf-8 coded
string (may same be stored as a pchar or a string) starts at the m'th byte
(m>=n).
I know that.
To find m for a given n you need to scan all bytes < m.
I know that too.
Thus a loop such as
for I = 1 to 100000 do begin
n = Integer (random(100000));
c = myString[n];
end;
Is rather fast with ANSI coded Strings.
Yes, but this is random access in a string.
Enumerators will not help you with random access, only with sequential access.
