Question

I am modifying a delphi app.In it I’m getting a text from a combo box. The problem is that when I save the text in the table, it contains a carriage return. In debug mode it shows like this.

newStr := 'Projector Ex320u-st Short Throw '#$A'1024 X 768 2700lm'

Then I have put

newStr := StringReplace(newStr,'#$A','',[rfReplaceAll]);

to remove the ‘#$A’ thing. But this doesn’t remove it.

Is there any other way to do this..

Thanks

Remove the quotes around the #$A:

newStr := StringReplace(newStr,#$A,'',[rfReplaceAll]);

The # tells delphi that you are specifying a character by its numerical code.
The $ says you are specifying in Hexadecimal.
The A is the value.

With the quotes you are searching for the presence of the #$A characters in the string, which aren’t found, so nothing is replaced.
