DupeString function

In unit StrUtils

Creates and concatenates N copies of a string.

Declaration

pascal

function DupeString(const AText: string; ACount: Integer): string

Arguments

`AText`	String to duplicate.
`ACount`	Number of copies to create.

Function result

Copies of the original string.

Description

DupeString returns a string consisting of ACount concatenations of AText. Thus

DupeString('1234567890',3);

will produce a string

'123456789012345678901234567890'

If aCount<=0 then the result is an empty string.

Errors

If you specify a too large aCount (so the resulting string would require more memory than allowed on your system) then an EOutOfMemory exception can be raised.
