Can anyone see why I only get the first five words of the string to
appear when I run this function?
function....
{
TMemo* temp;
temp = new TMemo(Form1);
temp->Top =600;
temp->Visible = false;
temp->Parent = Form1;
temp->Text = ";scrollbar Name, width, height, top, left, kind,
min, max";
ShowMessage(temp->Lines->Strings[0]);
TStringList* words = new TStringList;
words->Delimiter = ',';
words->DelimitedText = temp->Lines->Strings[0];
for(int i=0;i<words->Count;i++)
{
ShowMessage(words->Strings[i]);
}
}

TMemo will break the lines according to what it visually
displays. If you change it's Width, say to 500, you'll get
close to the expected results.
In the alternative, replace:
| Quote: | words->DelimitedText = temp->Lines->Strings[0];
|
with:
words->DelimitedText = temp->Text;
If you look closely at the results, you'll see that part of
the string is broken where you don't expect it. ';scrollbar
Name' is seperated into 2 words because a space is also
considered a delimiter.
If you format the string as such:
"scrollbar Name","width","height","top","left","kind","min","max"
the rest of the string can also include any of the several
other delimiters and TStringList's CommaText method will deal
with it nicely.
To help facilitate formatting the string, look at
AnsiQuotedStr.

Cheers, I never would have figured that out! I was also using
temp->Lines->Strings[0]; as I have more than one line to parse this way.
Thanks for the help,
Rory

is wordwrap on?
is there a reason you only go after the first line?
