Whenever I get the error "Left side cannot be assigned to" I look under Project -> Options -> Compiler and tick the box in the left hand bottom corner, labelled "Assignable Typed Constants". This allows you to assign values to constants. This may help with your Readln???
Dave -----Original Message----- From: Ross Levis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, 23 November 2002 13:30 To: Multiple recipients of list delphi Subject: [DUG]: TEdit.Text I'm finding it a hassle that I can't pass TEdit.Text strings as Var parameters in procedures, and can't specify them in readln commands. With Var parameters, I receive the compiler error "Constant Object cannot be passed as a var parameter. With Readln(MyTextfile, MyEdit.Text), I receive the compiler error "Left side cannot be assigned to". Is there anyway around these problems or am I stuck with using string variables and assigning the Text field from the string?
