[funlw65]

Regarding the example from this wiki page, S variable is not a Null terminated string.

Hi!

The variable S would be a null-terminated string if the declaration was right.

'This is a null-terminated string.'#0

is longer than 30  chars. Change the declaration to

Var S : String[40]; 

Then everything is ok.

Original code:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. Program three;  
2. Var S : String[30];  
3.     P : PChar;  
4. begin  
5.   S := 'This is a null-terminated string.'#0;  
6.   P := @S[1];  
7.   WriteLn (P);  
8. end.

PS.: The nonsense '  was done by the Forum software

Yes, that was the error - I wanted to see if someone counts the chars in the string .

So it should be a Bug Report against the documentation .

( and against the forumsoftware with #39 too )
