Hello,
Is there a way to convert endian of a string (from little to big and vice versa) ?
Thanks,

What kind of string you want to convert? For example a PChar is trivial.

Change the endianness of a string with what representation?

ShortString, AnsiString, UTF8String, WideString and UnicodeString :)

If I understand things correctly: ShortString, AnsiString and UTF8String don't convert since they're simply byte sequences. As a particular case, it's unwise to try to map multiple bytes from a UTFxString into a cardinal.
Converting WideString and UnicodeString is a fair question. Are you handling text files with multibyte encoding?

Should ReverseString work just as well ? :)
