    TStrings.Count

    Number of strings in the list.

    Declaration

    Source position: classesh.inc line 1174

    public property Count: Integer;

    Description

    Count is the current number of strings in the list. TStrings does not implement this property; descendant classes should override the property read handler to return the correct value.

    Strings in the list are always uniquely identified by their Index; the index of a string is zero-based, i.e. it's supported range is 0 to Count-1. trying to access a string with an index larger than or equal to Count will result in an error. Code that iterates over the list in a stringlist should always take into account the zero-based character of the list index.
