Doesn't sound wise. length(stringtype)=n should mean that the string takes
sizeof(char)*n bytes. (give or take the #0#0)
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.
length returns the number of characters.
UTF8Length the number of codepoints.
There must also be a function to return the number of bytes.
Does someone know the name?
Length(s) * SizeOf(s[1])

Sven
