There is already a WriteAnsiString (
http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/classes/tstream.writeansistring.html
) with the difference that it also writes out the length.
Yes I know, and I do not want write length only content of string
Adding an additional overload (especially with a name like
WriteString) would IMHO be confusing because of this.
Yes without looking into documentation at first look it can by confusable
(what about WriteRawString then) ?
Nothing stops you though from writing a class helper that adds a
WriteString method to TStream.
Yes, I can create also own descendant etc. ... but I am asking for
general solution, which will be useful for all.
Thanks
