Possible to copy one string list to another with single command?

AMJF:
My project uses around a dozen string lists that are used for temporary storage of different types of string data, and when I need to transfer from one to another, I have to write a routine to manually clear the target string list and then use a loop to copy the lines over from the source, one by one.

Couldn't I use a simple command like this instead?

--- Code: Pascal [+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 = document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x = document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i < x.length; i++) { x[i].style.maxHeight='none'; x[i].style.height = Math.min(x[i].clientHeight+15,306)+'px'; x[i].style.resize = "vertical";}};} ---STRLST[2]:=STRLST[1];
I was also wondering about the settings for the string lists, like "Duplicates" and "Sorted" - would they be copied over, too? Most of my string lists are the same settings.

No, as object to object assignment has a different semantic (it only makes the two variables refer to the same object).

Can't find any that does total deep copy, only data (both strings and associated objects, but shallow for objects) copy through TStrings.Assign.

SymbolicFrank:
If you just want to copy them:

--- Code: Pascal [+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 = document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x = document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i < x.length; i++) { x[i].style.maxHeight='none'; x[i].style.height = Math.min(x[i].clientHeight+15,306)+'px'; x[i].style.resize = "vertical";}};} ---STRLST[2].Text := STRLST[1].Text;
(If STRLST is a list or array of TStringList, otherwise you're copying strings.)

Bart:
Assuming that STRLST is an aaray of TStringList:

--- Code: Pascal [+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 = document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x = document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i < x.length; i++) { x[i].style.maxHeight='none'; x[i].style.height = Math.min(x[i].clientHeight+15,306)+'px'; x[i].style.resize = "vertical";}};} --- STRLST[2].Assign(STRLST[1]);
