Hi,
Do both these method yield the same result, or is one better (performance,
safer?) that the other?
procedure FreeMem(p:pointer;Size:ptruint);
procedure FreeMem(p:pointer);
Regards,

The TP7 manual suggests it was possible to partially free the memory. If you
had a pointer to the un-freed chunk, I wonder if that could also have been
freed, or if was left in limbo.
As the manual suggests, I bet everyone just used SizeOf() as the parameter, and
I'm not so sure how useful

I'm trying to write a programs to get data from the windows clipboard that
was put into it with Notepad++ using vertical editing.
It uses a non-standard format and I'm trying to figure it out.
GetClipboardFormatName is supposed to get me the name of non-standard
formats,
but whenever I try to run
The memory for FN is allocated at the top with StrAlloc()

I missed you have
FN:=StrAlloc (255);
in that case see Alexanders response.

They are the same. TP required size for deallocation,
Your
FN:='';
is clobbering the pointer 'FN' with nonsense.
Just leave that line out, it isn't necessary. Or do like FN^:=#0; if you want
C-string like functions to report zero length..

Just for Info, SynEdit (trunk) can handle notepad++ column selection
