Hello everybody. How can I initialize an array of records, like # type # Example = record # id: integer; # content: string # end; # # var # # ExampleArray: array[1.N] of Example; Can I initialize the array in the 'var' section?
I tried something like the following in Delphi, but it doesn't work: ExampleArray: array[1.N] of Example = ( (1, 'example 1'), (2, 'example 2')., (N, 'example N')); Can it be done? Probably my syntax interpretation is wrong, but I have no books at hand, and I don't want to do it in the main code, like ExampleArray[1].id:= 1; ExampleArray[2].content:= 'example 1'; etc. Any help would appreciated TIA ---------------------- Pierre Leon --------------------------- Wed, 18 Jun 1902 08:00:00 GMT.
Initialize must know the type of the buffer so it knows about array and record members. If you are casting a generic Pointer, be sure you cast it to the correct type. Typecasting pointers is a common source of hard-to-locate bugs.

The way you initialize the array above can be done only with CONST arrays. Bye Andrea Wed, 18 Jun 1902 08:00:00 GMT Page 1 of 1 [ 3 post ].
