E2018 Record, object or class type required

[fatlardo]

I am trying to assign values to two properties of an object I have created. The relevant parts of the declaration are below:

type TTagv2 = record
//Variables used by unit
exists: Boolean;

//Frame variables
UFID: array of record //Unique file identifier
owner: string;
identifier: string;
end;
end;

There is more to the object but its far too long to post!!

The problem is, I get an error message (E2018 Record, object or class type required) when I try to compile the following code:

info.UFID.owner := LeftStr(strreadin, compos - 1);
info.UFID.identifier := RightStr(strreadin, Length(strreadin) - compos);

The error applies to both of these lines.

The strange thing is that I have another set of properties within the same object defined in exactly the same way and I can successfully use them exactly the same way and within the same function!!

Anyone have any ideas?

Ok, so it's just me being stupid!! I declared UFID as an array and forgot to specify the array element!! If anyone else has a similar problem, the correct code should be:

info.UFID.owner := LeftStr(strreadin, compos - 1);
info.UFID.identifier := RightStr(strreadin, Length(strreadin) - compos);

Sorry people!!!
