I have a function that takes in a pointer to a series of char.
I wish to copy 256 chars from that point, and place them in a string.

msg is not null-terminated.

The below code seems to give me some problem.
Is there a correct way to do this?

Init( msg: PCHAR)
var
 myStr: String;
begin
 for i:= 1 to 256 do
 begin
  myStr[i] := msg[i-1]; 
 end;
end;
