Hi All,

I would like to include unit strutils into a Pascal Script but I have
not found any SIRegister_ or RIRegister_ functions (like
RIRegister_stdctrls for unit stdctrls) that would import it. Is it
even possible?

Thanks

I guess you have to do it yourself. The original PascalScript package
comes with a utility to generate import unit from existing one, but I
can't find it in the one shipped with Lazarus. It was a Windows
executable with no source AFAIR, probably that's why.

Good to know it's possible.

Is there any step-by-step howto or documentation on how to do the
import with that tool?

Have you (or anyone else) done this before?

I cannot find a definitive one, so my advice would be to look at
StrUtils' friend: DateUtils, which has both uPSR_dateutils and
uPSC_dateutils as imported units for PascalScript. A small tutorial
explaining the concept with actual code is here:

Nope, never had a need before.
