Hi again, A few weeks ago I was looking on the Internet if there's a simpler way to convert a binary string (i.e. '00100101') to integer than using a loop and parsing it by hand. On Reddit I found an answer that suggests to use sysutils.StrToInt preceding the string with character '%'.
I tested and it works, so I go to the documentation to see if it also converts octal numbers but the documentation only mentions hexagesimal strings preceded by 'x', no mention to binary or octal. I didn't test system.Val though but maybe it also allows binary and octal strings. I know binary and octal strings aren't used often today but I think that the documentation should be updated.
