accessing DBISAM memo fields as strings

[StuM]

I've gone brain dead. I need to access a memo field as a string, modify it (remove quote marks,commas), and repost it.
any help ?

if you have added your fields into the fields editor.

Edit1.Text := tblMyTableMemoField.AsString;

else

Edit1.Text := tblMyTable.FieldByName('MemoField').AsString;

If I put it into a String Var and then do a pos(xx,',') I don't get the position of the commas that are in the string.
same if I look for ' .

 

[DelphiAaron]

you have it wrong way around.

var mystring: string;
begin
pos(',', mystring);
end;

to replace all commas with a space in a string.

newstr := StringReplace(oldstr, ',', ' ', [rfReplaceAll]);

The problem is getting the memo field from a DBISAM database into a String to manipulate it. I finnally put a "memo" on the form and set it equal to the table.memo field.asstring
then put out 1 string at-a-time from the memo ... did the string replacement. Put the string back into the memo on the form. Then finnally put the memo (tstring) back into the DBISAM memo field.
