Subject: [fpc-pascal] Pascal arrays vs TStringList.DelimitedText
Getting back to Pascal.. Aren't pascal arrays 1 based?
As I get myself re-acquainted with pascal I am working on a small open
source utility. Bumped into something that confused me.. It seems
TStringList.DelimitedText produces an array that starts at zero, but from
what I can tell regular arrays start at 1.
Is there a list anywhere of which classes in the FCL use arrays that start
at zero?
Tried reading the Tstringlist documentation and the beginning of the
classes unit for any indicator of arrays in that unit starting at zero,
but did not see any. Did I miss it?
Hi Francisco, regular arrays can start at whatever index you want:
Var
MyArray1 : Array[1..3] Of Integer;
MyArray2 : Array[-3..21] Of String;
Dynamic Arrays :
Var
MyDynamicArray : Array Of Integer;
These always start with a zero index.
TStringList and similar classes use a zero index too.
I don't know if there is any list like you want though...
cheers,
Paul
