[Lazarus] IDE option: Convert selection to string ?
Hello, The IDE contains a 'make resource string' refactoring option. This requires the selection to be a pascal string. However, I quite often find myself in the need to create a string constant from arbitrary text: I test an SQL statement in an SQL tool, and then I copy it to the pascal source file where I need it. I must then manually convert it to a string constant by adding the necessary quotes, doubling single quotes already there and appending +sLineBreak+ etc. It would be nice if the IDE could do this: select a block of text, and choose 'Refactoring -> convert to pascal string' Currently I have a separate tool that does this (both ways: quote and unquote, in case I need to re-rest an SQL statement from my code) but it would be a lot faster if the IDE could do it for me. Most likely it already contains code that does similar things like this. I cannot imagine I am the only one with this need :) Any chance of getting such a feature ?

Where did you find this on the forum?
Because you shouldn't use {$IFDEF } but {$IF } (because you are using an
expression)
So:
{$IF LCL_FULLVERSION > 108}
{$ELSE}
{$ENDIF}
If you use {$IFDEF it will check if "LCL_FULLVERSION > 108" is
defined, which it isn't.
Also see http://www.math.uni-leipzig.de/pool/tuts/FreePascal/prog/node4.html
B.T.W. You need to include "uses lclversion" because LCL_FULLVERSION is
declared there (otherwise you get a ansistring error message).
Some other constants:
