Trim function in Delphi

[VT Venkatesh]

When i try (searchword is of type string)
***********************************************************
searchWord := searchWord.Trim(['?', '\"', ',', '\''', ';', ':', '.',
'(', ')']).ToLower;
************************************************
I get an error
[DCC Error] Searcharoo.Net.pas(92): E2250 There is no overloaded version
of 'Trim' that can be called with these arguments
I think both '\"' & '\''' are creatng the problem.

(I am trying to convert from C#.The c# syntax is
searchWord = searchWord.Trim('?','\"', ',', '\'', ';', ':', '.', '(',
')').ToLower();
)

What is the correct syntax ?

I think that you want to eliminate the backslash from '\"' and '\'''

Delphi doesn't use a \ as a string escape. "\"" should become '"' and
'\'' should become '''' (four single quotes).

searchWord := searchWord.Trim(['?', #34, ',', #39, ';', ':', '.', '(', ')']).ToLower();
