I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish? Give me sample code that will cause a problem. In fpGUI I have UTF8Length(mystring) which returns the actual number of code points used - not bytes used. If you want the number of bytes used, simply use Length(mystring). Use each of those at appropriate times based on what you want to accomplish. The RTL Length() function has been the source of lots of confusion to Delphi and FPC developers. So without an actual use-case I don't know what you are trying to do. -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://fpgui.sourceforge.net _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
