i have never ever used #$FF in 30 years of programing with a pascal dialect... only #FF when writing or checking for data in hex format... but this is the first time that i'm needing/wanting to depict it in a static array as a (end result) string of characters to search for and replace with the StringsReplace routine available in FPC... in the past, i would have written my own but since this one exists, it makes things much easier ;) :) i will take a look... if it works, i've learned something new since my days of coding with borland pascal ;) _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
