ObjectPascal WideCharToString Function Copies a null terminated WideChar string to a normal string System unit

function WideCharToString ( Source : PWideChar; ) : string;

Description The WideCharToString function converts a null terminated WideChar string or array to a normal string.   WideChar's are 2 bytes in size, to accomodate International character sets, such as Chinese, where the number of characters exceeds 256.   Such a double byte to single byte conversion will preserve the double byte size when it cannot be mapped to a single byte. So a 10 character WideChar string will yield anything from 10 to 20 characters in the resulting string.
