Why Doesn't this work.....?

  Weird....

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
2. Var
3. S:String;
4. P1,P2:SizeInt;
5. begin
6.   S := '[Test]';
7.   P1 := Pos(S,'[');
8.   P2 := Pos(S,']');
9.   ShowMessage(Copy(S,P1,P2));
10. end;
11.  

It returns a blank text D:

It doesn't work because your copying nothing.
What is your point?

Try reversing the arguments to Pos.

Nope...

Well, "Pos('[', S)" works for me...
BTW: the second argument for Copy should be the number of characters, not the end position.

Gr.

Yes, thats the right procedure using pos function
