Routines

Defining and Specifying Strings

This section describes two routines that you can use to work with string handles and two routines for accessing string resources.

• The NewString function creates a copy of the specified string as a relocatable object in the heap.
• The SetString procedure changes the contents of a string that has already been allocated in the heap.
• The GetString function loads a string from a resource of type 'STR ', reading the string from the resource file if necessary.
• The GetIndString procedure copies a string from a string list that is contained in a resource of type 'STR#'.
