    DupeString

    Creates and concatenates N copies of a string.

    Declaration

    Source position: strutils.pp line 87

    function DupeString(const AText: string; ACount: Integer) : string;

    Arguments

    Name Description
    AText String to duplicate.
    ACount Number of copies to create.

    Function result

    Copies of the original string.

    Description

    DupeString returns a string consisting of ACount concatenations of AText. Thus 

    DupeString('1234567890',3);

    will produce a string 

    '123456789012345678901234567890'

    If aCount<=0 then the result is an empty string.

    Errors

    If you specify a too large aCount (so the resulting string would require more memory than allowed on your system) then an EOutOfMemory exception can be raised.
