Hello,

Is there a way to convert endian of a string (from little to big and
vice versa) ?
What kind of string you want to convert? For example a PChar is trivial.

ShortString, AnsiString, UTF8String, WideString and UnicodeString :)

If I understand things correctly: ShortString, AnsiString and UTF8String don't convert since they're simply byte sequences. As a particular case, it's unwise to try to map multiple bytes from a UTFxString into a cardinal.

Converting WideString and UnicodeString is a fair question. Are you handling text files with multibyte encoding?
