    WriteStr

    Write variables to a string.

    Declaration

    Source position: system.fpd line 88

    procedure WriteStr(out S: string; Args: Arguments);

    Description

    WriteStr behaves like Write, except that it stores its output in the string variable S instead of a file. Semantically, the WriteStr call is equivalent to writing the arguments to a file using the Write call, and then reading them into S using the Read call from the same file: 

    var
  F : Text;
begin
  Rewrite(F);
  Write(F,Args);
  Close(F);
  Reset(F);
  Read(F,S);
  Close(F);
end;

    Obviously, the WriteStr call does not use a temporary file.

    WriteStr is defined in the ISO Extended Pascal standard. More information on the allowed arguments and the possible formatting can be found in the description of Write.
