Why would you want such a function? If the two strings have the same encoding and the destination is a string variable of the same static encoding then there won't be any conversions anyway. > Could a single "Generic TStringlist" be done that way to allow for storing and retrieving Strings of any - but ubiquitous - (static) encoding Type ? And then? If you want to use them in e.g. a class you need to pick a specialization and thus a code page at compile time. Regards, Sven
