I have a record that looks similar to:
type
TNote = record
Title : string;
Note : string;
Index : integer;
end;
Simple. The reason I chose to set the variables as string (as opposed to an array of chars) is that I have no idea how long those strings are going to be. They can be 1 char long, 200 or 2000. Of course when I try to save the record to a type file (file of...) the compiler complains that I have to give a size to string. Is there a way to overcome this? or a way to save those records to an untyped file and still maintain a sort of searchable way?
Please do not point me to possible solutions, if you know the solution please post code. Thank you
