I'm not too familiar with Pchar, and apparently I'm missing something.
I have a Pchar string which I must copy into an array of bytes.
Could someone explain me while a move doesn't work while an assignment
byte by byte does?
Here's a snippet of the code:
buffer: array [0..1023] of byte;
Hello: PChar = 'Hello from server';
....
len := strlen(Hello);
----
Move(Hello,buffer,len); <--- Garbage in buffer - doesn't work
----
for I := 0 to Pred(len) do
begin
buffer[I] := Byte(Hello[I]); <---- Works just fine.
end;
I fail to understand why. What I'm missing?
