I’m trying to split a string by a delimiter and see there is a type helper called TStringHelper (https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/sysutils/tstringhelper.html). The compiler version I’m using is "Free Pascal Compiler version 3.1.1 [2017/04/22] for i386” but when I include SysUtils the methods are not found.

For example:

var
  str: string;
  parts: TStringArray;
parts := str.Split(' ‘);

What am I doing wrong?

Try
var
   Str : AnsiString;
or
   Str : WideString;

I believe the compiler has some trouble finding the helper if you use the 'string' alias. I think there is even a bugreport about it. Sven Barth can confirm/deny this.

I thought that was fixed? Except of course if $H- is used (which is the default in all modes except the Delphi ones) cause then String = AnsiString.

String = ShortString in case of $H- of course -.-
