(Solved)Writing a function
« on: January 27, 2020, 07:25:46 pm »
You will know the first function as a FP supplied function.
 
function TryStrToInt( const s: string;  out i: LongInt) : Boolean;

I would like a function that searches a table for an item and returns a boolean value. If true it puts a code in the "out" parm p. The table looks like the following.

AAAAAAA AAA
BBBBBBB BBB
DDDDDD DDD

So I would call:

Var
  Valid : Boolean = False;
  P     String = '';
 begin
  Valid :=  TryValidEntry('DDDDD', P); //and get Valid = True and P = 'DDD'.

Or am I all wrong on this.


function TryValidEntry( const S : String;  out P : String) : Boolean;

Thanks;

Yes, that is correct.

Thanks, I'll try and write the code.

Yea, it worked. For some reason I thought they were  provided specialized function. (with the Out parm )
