yes, this type of thing is why we use Pascal. pchar is your little bucket of ram that FPC in a sense knows nothing about. set it to #0 and pray for the best, cause that's what you do..

I set it to #0 and it works ok with the #0 in there with Notepadd++ but I think it’s technically not correct. For me, it's correct. C strings are just terminated with a null character, no notion of length, the length is not recorded in the string as in Pascal.
