Question

I want to do something like this:

const    MyFirstConstArray: array[0..1] of string = ('Hi', 'Foo');   MySecondConstArrayWhichIncludesTheFirstOne: array[0..2] of string =      MyFirstConstArray + ('Bar'); 

Basically I want the following result:

MyFirstConstArray -> ('Hi', 'Foo'); MySecondConstArrayWhichIncludesTheFirstOne -> ('Hi', 'Foo', 'Bar'); 

Is it possible somehow?

Answer 1

AFAIK, you can’t do that.
But if the goal is to ensure you declare your actual constant string only once, I suggest you declare the individual strings and then group them in arrays:

const   MyConst1 = 'Hi';   MyConst2 = 'Foo';   MyConst3 = 'Bar';   MyFirstConstArray: array[0..1] of string = (MyConst1, MyConst2);   MySecondConstArrayWhichIncludesTheFirstOne: array[0..2] of string =      (MyConst1, MyConst2, MyConst3); 

BTW, your syntax is incorrect, you have to precise the type of the array elements.
