Hi All:

I am trying to read the contents of a memory stream into a dynamic array of characters and the program keeps crashing when I try to free the dynamic array.

Really simple code:

   Buf : array of Char;
   Stream : TMemoryStream;
begin
// Initialize Stream here
   SetLength( Buf, Stream.Size );
// do nothing here
   SetLength( Buf, 0 ); // This works
   SetLength( Buf, Stream.Size );
   Stream.Read( Buf ); // or Stream.ReadBuffer( B, Stream.Size );
   SetLength( Buf, 0 ); // This crashes
end;

I've tried passing the Address of Buf, but the compiler doesn't like it. Does anyone have any ideas how I can work around this?

Thanks,

Don Ziesig

Stream.Read(Buf[0], Stream.Size);

thanks,
Dmitry

Thanks, Dmitry. I'll try that tomorrow morning. It's getting late and I've been working for 14 hours so far. ;-)

I'll let you know then.

Thanks,

Don

Lucky you, for only having to work half-day. ;-)
