Hi,

I must be missing something obvious.
But given the following definition of the Split() helper function for strings:

Function Split(const Separators: array of Char; Options:
TStringSplitOptions): TStringArray; overload; (fpc 3.2.2)

Why does this not compile:

var
  SA: TStringArray;
  ...
  SA := S.Split([#0..#32],TStringSplitOptions.ExcludeEmpty);
test.pas(236,59) Error: Incompatible type for arg no. 2: Got
"TStringSplitOptions", expected "Char".

I feel I must be blind...

You are passing not an array of char but a set of char.

This works:

SA := S.Split(#0#32,TStringSplitOptions.ExcludeEmpty);

An array of char is a string.

But the message is indeed confusing. My guess is that the compiler decided
it was this overload;
function TStringHelper.Split( const Separators: array of Char;
   AQuote: Char
):TStringArray; overload;

Michael.

Yes, I just add that a set of char would be handier but it cannot be used since Unicode Delphi because Char=UnicodeChar.
