Hi all,

Is it just me or above methods are indeed not mentioned within fpc's doc 2.2.0? Any texts that are supposed to be a link to above methods is not formed as a link.

Just to make sure, before I'll report this to mantis as a "bug". :)

These functions are not only for strings, but (more generally) for dynamic arrays (as well). I haven't checked to see if they are documented there, but one would expect/hope so.

Can someone confirm this?

This is documentation generated with fpc 2.3.1 source code.

Ah, there must be something wrong with fpc 2.2.0 generated documentation. :(

BTW... where can I download laz 9.24 documentation? I'd like to convert them to chm format as well. Just like what I did to fpc doc 2.2.0. :)

BTW, I like your chm documentation...it's actually much quicker to search than pdf (acroreader is slow for me with 1500 pages). And it also searches for "related topics"...very good job IMHO.

You can't, but watch this package:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=92177&package_id=138755

Of course you can build it yourself using fpdoc and the xml files in lazarus\doc\xml

The fact that SetLength is usable for dynamic arrays is mentioned here : http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/ref/refsu14.html#x36-390003.3.1

But I couldn't find anywhere the list of functions that can be used to perform operations on dynamic arrays .
It is not intuitive nor logical to guess that the string functions are valid for dynamic arrays as well , therefore it looks like the dynamic array functions are in need of being explained better.

Cheers,

There are no links for those functions.
