Display in a TMemo

[JLWest]

Maybe this can't be done.

I would like to do the following:

MemoString.Lines.ADD(' Present := IsWordPresent('Day', aString, [' ']);');

However the compiler gives an error on the single quotes.

You need to look at the location of single quotes.

Maybe what you want is (without trying it) -

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. MemoString.Lines.ADD(' Present := ' + booltostr(IsWordPresent('Day', aString, [' '] ), True) );

If for what ever reason you are trying to put all of this in a string, although you may mean something else , look at this.

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. 'Present := IsWordPresent(''Day'', aString, ['' '']);';
2.  

But I am sure you meant this..

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. Mmeo1.Lines.Add(Present.ToString);
2.  
3.

Restated:
 I would like to display in Memo1"

    "Present := IsWordPresent('Day', aString, [' ']); "

 However when I code the following I get an error of the single quotes in the following line of code.

    MemoString.Lines.ADD(' Present := IsWordPresent('Day', aString, [' ']);');

That's It;

When you end a Quote and start another with no items between the compiler will assume you want to
actually use a quote literal in your string.

So as a single character you can do this...
''''
that is 4 " ' ".
The first ' starts the string, the next two together assumes you want a " ' " and the last one ends the string.

in this case however, its only a character so you can do this

MyCharVar := '''';
