I must agree that I was a little overhelm stating that object pascal was better than C ( oups! C++) but not string manipulation. I hate string manipulation in C++. Damn strdup() that make everything fall appart... and file manipulation is file manipulation, you can't really tell appart any of the two languages because the functions are nearly the same in both.And btw, in pascal, you can have pointer to string (like in C) but they are more easy to handle!
