[Ok]v1.40: problems with clearing strings in an array

[Dany]

Can not be reproduced any more with bèta v1.50

Hi, normally one can clear a string with

Code: Select all

StringVar := '';

but this seems not to work when the string is in a string array:

Code: Select all

const NrPrevCommands = 3;
var   PrevCommands: array[NrPrevCommands] of string[10];
..
for I := 0 to (NrPrevCommands - 1) do
  begin
    PrevCommands[I] := '';                   // <---- does not work, string is not "emptied"
    Uart1_Write_Text(PrevCommands[I]);       // added for test purposes
    Uart1_Write_Text(CRLF);
  end;

, but this works:

Code: Select all

for I := 0 to (NrPrevCommands - 1) do
  begin
    PrevCommands[I][0] := 0;                 // <---- does work
    Uart1_Write_Text(PrevCommands[I]);       // added for test purposes
    Uart1_Write_Text(CRLF);
  end;

Thanks in advance!
