String = ShortString in case of $H- of course -.-

I thought that was fixed? Except of course if $H- is used (which is the
default in all modes except the Delphi ones) cause then String = AnsiString.

For example:

 parts: TStringArray;

parts := str.Split(' ‘);


What am I doing wrong?


Try

var
  Str : AnsiString;
or
  Str : WideString;

I believe the compiler has some trouble finding the helper if you use the
'string' alias. I think there is even a bugreport about it.
Sven Barth can confirm/deny this.
