Description
|
The PAnsiChar type is
a pointer to an AnsiChar value.
It can also be used to point to characters within
an AnsiString, as in the example code.
As with other pointers, integer arithmetic, such as
Inc and Dec can
be performed on a PAnsiChar
variable, also shown in the example.

|
Notes
|
PAnsiChar is
principally used when processing null-terminated
(C-like) strings.
