AnsiString blues!

[nicasa]

Hi All,

Coming from a C background and char*, I'm still getting used to using AnsiString. How can you append (concatenate) another ansistring onto one that has a NULL as its last character ?

ie
String name1 = "FRED ";
String name2 = "BLOGGS";
String name3 = name1 + name2;

Of course name3 = FRED BLOGGS;

BUT if the last char in name1 is NULL (\0) it will not work !!

Any ideas ??

AnsiString is very easy to use
you can do that like this
AnsiString name1 = "FROG ";
AnsiString name2 = "BLOGGS";
AnsiString name3 = name1 + name2;
or
AnsiString name3 = StrCat(name1.c_str(),name2.c_str());
don't worrry what the last char contents

Does it just display name1 when you add the two together? Or does it store nothing at all? I would think it would store name1 and name2, but when the calling routine encounters the NULL character, it terminates the string. You MUST remove the null character before combining the strings. Or Ansistring may do this for you?

dont worry about nothing (NULL) with AnsiString.
