Is there any procedure like that? lazarus / 5-Lazarus Extra Components ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Guest · 2006-07-05 22:31 I vaguely remember there was the procedure in some Delphi library, which allowed to shorten the string containing the path "C:\DATA\Folde r1\Folder2\Folder3\Folder4\Folder5\Folder6\Folder7\22APR05P.038" in this way "C:\DATA\Folder1\..\Folder7\22APR05P.038" if it was more than N chars in width. Is there any something like that in the Lazarus/FPC or some their packages/libraries? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Marc · 2006-07-08 12:36 I only know that some MS drawing routines can do it
