In new Delphi and fpc versions, strings are "code aware": e.g. you can define a string to hold a dedicated character encoding. E.g.: "MyANSI_String: String(CP_ACP);" to define that this variable is to hold characters in the default ANSI code of the OS, rather than simply using " MyUTF_String: String;" (which is short for " MyUTF_String: String(CP_DEFAULT);" ) and would mean UTF-16 encoding with Delphi and UTF-8 encoding with fpc. If you now do "MyUTF_String := MyANSI_String;", Delphi or fpc would automatically convert the character encoding appropriately. But what about mselang on that behalf ? Maybe MSEIDE is done in a way that it compiles with fpc (i.e. UTF-8 strings, unless explicitly denoted otherwise), and allows the meslang String paradigm (whatever it might be), nonetheless. -Michael _______________________________________________ mseide-msegui-talk mailing list mseide-msegui-talk@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mseide-msegui-talk
