This has been bothering me for quite a while now ... 1

Hi all,

I while ago I wanted to make an array which I could
access with an integer to get a pchar, but I couldnt
get it to work (I have already solved this, but I still
think my original thought should have worked).

This is what I tried:

var Letters: array[0..25] of PChar = ['A'..'Z'];

Why didnt it work like this ??? I looked it up in the
help and it said it could be done, but all I get is an
error saying that TArray and Set are not compatible ...

Thanks allot, BobbaFet

Because a set cannot be directly assigned to an Pchar array. The array is looking for a PChar to go in each slot not a set of characters.

Try this

procedure TForm7.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
const
Letters: array[0..25] of Char ='ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ';
var
P : PChar;
begin
P := Letters[???];

{In here you can manipulate the Letters array and the PChar in any way you want}

end;
