I've already read that its not built into pascal but how do I get around
this? If I have:
contacts : array [1 .. 256] of JSMContact;
the only way to initialize it is?
with contacts[1] do
begin
Name := '';
PhoneNo := '';
end;
Also if I am passing a var to a procedure

Anyone who pretends to know how to use computers effectively

Let's say that you want to search all of the files in the
current directory for lines that contain "foobar" or
"foo bar" or "foo-bar", followed later in the line by

No, but "sub folders inside mounts" has no meaning under unix (every
folder on your disk is a "sub folder insi
I've been struggling with an issue of
Dynlibs.LoadLibrary(completepath/something.so) always returning zero

Example Library Project is built on
/home/atbrunner/Source/Libraries/Test/project1.so

4. RegExes, especially complex ones, are usually orders of magnitude
slower than straight Pascal, because they're usually interpreted at
runtime by a parser.
They could possibly be preprocessed if assigned to a constant, although
I've not tried doing this.
If you modify the RegExp-parsing so

I agree with Jürgen.
It's is much more preferable to write standard Pascal, for many reasons:
1. The number of people proficient in RegExes is very small, and it takes
regular practice to keep the skill up.
Very bad to be dependent on such a subset of Pascal programmers.
2. RegExes are notori

Maybe. I never used them (except a text editor of course). Everything

Very true,

Maybe. I never used them (except a text editor of course). Everything
you can do with these tools is also possible with a good Pascal compiler
