Get data from Edit to Char array

[Dingus]

Hello,

I want to be able to enter data into an Editbox
and then store that data in a array[0..50] of char variable.

Any ideas?

[Scott Gast]

Strings inside D8 are now objects, so you can do something like this:

var
strMyString: String;
arrChar: Array[0..49] of Char;
begin

strMyString := Copy(EditBox.Text,1,50);
arrChar := strMyString.ToCharArray;

end;

Hope this helps!

var

MyString: String;
arrChar: Array[0..49] of Char;

i: Integer;
begin
MyString := Copy(EditBox.Text,1,50);
arrChar := PChar(MyString);
end;

Scott, this is the IDE general group, please don't assume folks are using
.NET; in fact they are more than likely not.

The original messages should really have been posted to either
..language.delphi.dotnet or ..language.delphi.Win32

Thanks for that Joanna, however it still doesn't appear to work.
I get the error message Incompatible types 'Array' and 'PAnsiChar'.
By the way, I notice you have declared i:integer; - is it perhaps suppoesed
to be used somewhere?

PS: Sorry if I chose the incorrect NG - should I place this posting in the
other?
