Hi,

In C it is possible to write something like this:

#define BLABLA "\xff\xff\xff\xff" "getblabla xxx\n"

It's like a buffer with hexadecimal FF which is 255... and a null terminated
string attached to it.

Also take a look at this one ;)

#define DINGDONG "\xff\xff\xff\xff" \
                    "ding dong " \
                    "\"" \
                    "\\dong\\%s" \
                    "\\ding\\%d" \
                    "\\bongl\\%d" \
                    "\\tuuttuut\\%s" \

It seems it is combining many things... hexadecimal stuff... strings...
(character arrays?) and place holders like %s and %d ? and even
concatenation ;)

Can Delphi do something like this ?

Bye,
  Skybuck.
