Yes, I already started building my own file management routines mainly because I was never sure about the string encoding/type when using the RTL functions. The current mismanagement regarding strings is a real pain. Even when looking into documentation there is no information about which string encoding the routines use/need. For example, not a single word about string encoding here: http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/sysutils/findfirst.html How can this documentation be used for programming? The most effective way to find out seems by trial-and-error. Not very inviting for programmers. -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
