The loops is just an example because in my original post of why I wanted to get the highest element of a stringlist was because I wanted a for loop that wasn't as clumsy as
For I:=0 to myStringlist.count-1 Do This came up because thanks to this discussion list, I learned I could use High() and Low() for my dynamic arrays, so I went through replacing all instances of Length(MyDynamicArray)-1 with High(MyDynamicArray) So my for loops went from: For I:=0 to Length(MyDynamicArray)-1 Do To For I:=0 to High(MyDynamicArray) Do Which I find much more clear and less prone to problems.. I have forgot the -1 before and it gives range check errors of course.. so I'm switching everything to use High() instead and will just automatically use High() in the future, thus preventing the issue all together. I'm really happy with the helper function and using MyStringList.High. I think .High should just be added to all things that have a .Count because everyone always needs it ALL THE TIME. But I am happy it's possible to add a helper function to add it myself.
