    How many signs can AnsiString handle

    AnsiString (same thing as String) is a Borland object and I would like to know how many characters it can handle. My own gues is a bit more then 65000 since thats how much int can store.
    Well english isn't my first language, (it's instead a useless language called danish which only 5 milion people speak!!) so if you think my grammar SUCKS (it does by the way) than you're more then welcome to correct me.
    Hell I might even learn something

    Zahl,

    It's dependent on the size of 'int' on your particular system. On a 32-bit Windows system, that amounts to approximately 4.3 billion bytes.

    My source suggests this may be restricted due to memory contraints, however. Go figure.

    Fordy, if I just stepped on myself, my apologies.
