To the OP: are you using the AnsiString as a buffer (that contains "several" strings)? Otherwise, using "MyString <> '' " would do because #0 is only valid as terminator in UTF-8 too.
BTW, IIRC Delphi would generate faster code for the above construction instead of "Length(MyString) <> 0" because of locking. > > I thought string should be accessed from 1 not 0 for compatibility. > > And it is what I am doing. > > > > for i := 1 to length(s) do ... > > > > so I am not sure that using s[0] is safe > > s[0] won't compile.
