 |
|
I'd like to append text to an already existing memo record. Can it be done
without reading the text into a memo control than using the stringList
properties?

sorry. I'm using D6 w/ Advantage db drivers v.7 but I'll accept any answer
for BDE since Advantage is modelled after BDE. Thanks.

What database are you using? Have you tried accessing the blob as a
string and concatenating the text you want to append?

Then something like
var
S: String;
begin
S := Table1.FieldByName('TheBlob').AsString;
S := S + 'Some new text';
should work.

Using D6, Advantage DB (very similar to BDE).
I forgot to mention that Im storing OLE objects there too (a major oversight
I realize /// . The Richedit isn't data aware and I'm storing to the db
using:
Table1MemoField.Assign(RichEdit.Lines);
and reading by:
RichEdit.Lines.Assign(TableMemoField);
This works great even for OLE objects or graphics objects in the memo
but I don't know how to add to the data already there. This obviously
wouldn't work so I'd have to maybe stream it in? Every scenario I've seen
there assumes you are replacing, not appending.. Thanks for the reply.

You can put binary data in a string variable.
