- The correct usage of TMemo.Lines.GetText() (or any other TString's GetText()
- method) is as follows:
-
- var
- lpVar : PChar;
- begin
- lpVar := Memo.Lines.GetText;
- try
- {do whatever you like with/to lpVar's contents}
- finally
- StrDispose(lpVar);
- end;
- end;
-
- The GetText method creates a copy of the text in Memo.Lines (or other
- TStrings object) via the StrAlloc() function. It is entirely up to
- you, the programmer, to dispose of the PChar when you are done via
- the StrDispose() function. Since GetText returns a copy of the
- text, you can muck about with its contents as you please without
- modifying the text in the TMemo.
