String is limited to 255 characters.
AnsiString is limit to the amount of memory you have.

I knew about AnsiString, but i have never payed attention to that.
String is really limited as we can see.
Maybe it is time to pass on AnsiString.
THX for this !
Here are examples of usage :

Code:

program ansistring_test;

var

  s:ansistring;

begin

s:='this is ansistring';

writeln(s);

readln;

end.

Ordinary string is limited to 255 characters.

P.S. AnsiString is not standard in Turbo Pascal for Windows, but in Free Pascal IDE you can call it whenever you want.

TBH, limit of 255 charrs, and few pointers are pretty good solution for me, in pascal and competitive tasks Smile

Yea, that is what AnsiString really is a dynamic pointer.
