Alrighty, I have two questions to ask:
1. Is there a length function in Dev Pascal ? If so, what is it? If not, is there a way to achieve the length of a string?
2. Can you change a string into an integer and/or vice versa. (example: entering '123' as a string and turning it into the number 123.)
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Cheers,
Shane

Dev Pascal uses either the Free Pascal compiler or the GNU Pascal compiler.
Online documentation for FPC System unit:
length: Length returns the length of the string S , which is limited to 255 for shortstrings. If the strings S is empty, 0 is returned. Note: The length of the string S is stored in S[0] for shortstrings only. The Length fuction should always be used on ansistrings and widestrings.
2. Can you change a string into an integer and/or vice versa. (example: entering '123' as a string and turning it into the number 123.)
StrToInt( S : String ): StrToInt will convert the string S to an integer. If the string contains invalid characters or has an invalid format, then an EConvertError is raised.
