Title: StrComp problem(Solved)
Post by: JLWest on April 01, 2023, 01:32:45 am

Trying to compare two strings;
I don't understand what wrong with this.
Didn't know it mattered.
It compiled. I haven't tested it yet.

Sometimes just sName=sTag works and sometimes not. Wonder why?

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. VAR
2.  P1 : PChar;
3.  P2 : PChar;  
4.  C: SizeInt;
5. aName,aTag: String;
6. begin
7.  
8. P1:=sName;             <<<duplicates.pas(243,10) Error: Incompatible types: got "AnsiString" expected "PChar"
9. p2:=sTag;
10. C:= strcomp(P1,P2);
11.

I do not know why you hide your declaration of sName, anyway, "P1 := PChar(sName);" should solve your issue.
