AnsiStrings are on the heap, and have their length stored somewhere hidden. Ansistrings are more like the C PChar when it comes to memory layout. This means that MyString[0]:=char(13) will not work for an ansistring. > I mean, upon using the Strings, we have plenty of functions, manipulating the > string, > while with ANSIStrings we have certain difficulties obtaining the same result > This is ranging from Pos(), Delete(), String addition, and so on... All standard FPC functions work with AnsiStrings and ShortStrings. Can you give an example of code or a function that does not work ?
