Thanks for the RegEx suggestions

Yes, but I don't want to write a function from scratch

@FredS

What I need is to return 'yes, abc.def' 

@Silver Black

That's what I use now and sadly does not replace whole words.

Eg. in this string 'abc and abc.def' if you want to replace 'abc' whole word only the above and the one from stringhelper will replace both instances of 'abc'

Hi,

I am using TStringHelper.Replace to replace substrings in strings but it seems that it does not respect whole words.

Anyone knows how to do this with Replace?

Ok, upgrade completed and things seem to be in place except the Connection Managers. 

I can see the files in Documents. Anyone knows how to make the (new) IDE recognise them? Does it use the registry?

Edit: It doesn't seem to recognise GetIt installed packages.....sadly

I am also installing 10.3.1 right now...let's see

@Clément Thanks a lot for this👌

@Mahdi Safsafi Thanks! the hack helps me a lot.

About the debate regarding Create/Free, it looks to me it is good practice. 

Similar to this, I've seen people always but always setting interfaces to nil as a matter of coding style

@Mahdi Safsafi Very cool. Thanks for this

A couple of questions: 

1. Do you need to create/Free TRTTIContext? All the books/articles I've seen they just use the record

2. The TypeInfo variable in DoSomething conflicts with TypeInfo from RTTI. It should use a different name, right?

3. How do I get the value of the fields now? I tried this:

for lFields in LType.GetFields do
	Writeln(' '+lFields.Name + ': '+lFields.GetValue(TypeInfo(Rec)).AsString);

but the instance in GetValue is not correct. 

Thanks again

How will you use RTTI with this?

I would be great if this were possible...

The goal is to extract the fields and their values from the record. 

The class function approach looks more promising but it looks such "openness" makes things complicated. 

I think I will pass the list of the fields directly rather than the record itself...

Thanks everyone

Hi,

I want to write a function and allow the user of the function to pass a record that I do not know in advance. Then, the idea is I iterate through the fields in the function.

Something like this:

function pass (aRec: record): boolean;

But a 'record' can't be used like this.

I've thought of two approaches but without being able to make them work:

1. Use of pointers:

function pass (aRP: Pointer): boolean;

begin

....

/// here I do not know how to (cast the pointer to any record and) iterate using RTTI

/// I think this can not be done as the cast seems very arbitrary

...

end;

2. A kind of adapter record:

type

  TAdapterRec<T> = record

    instance: T

   constructor Create (aRec: T);

 end;

and then tried to declare the function:

function pass (aRec: TAdapterRec<T>): boolean;

but generics like these are not allowed.

Anyone can help with this? I would like to avoid using classes.

Thanks

@Uwe Raabe Ah yes...

On my Android or PC?

Probably on both as TI uses a non-standard port

But I don't know how to do it on Android. If you find out please share. I am interested

Yes I know the plugin. 

When you run the tests from TI, does it use the selected platform or only Win32? 

@Stefan Glienke can TI listen to tests on Android now? Haven't tried

I use SourceTree as well. It has some glitches but in general saves lots of command-line work

Why don't you use TFormatSettings? It should load the locale of the machine

@Stefan Glienke Maybe the next version of TI can work on Android

so from what I can deduce, the connection back to the plugin on my PC via my IP Is not working on Android, can't seem to figure out why.

The annoying thing is that it works fine when I compile it and run my test project on Windows.

I believe you need to open the ports that TestInsight is listening to

But as soon as I try to run any Delphi 10.3 app on NOX, it instantly closes with an error message that the app has closed.

Have you tried a simple project that does nothing? 

I uploaded a package for 10.2 

Very welcome to test and see if all is good.

Also, it would be great if someone could check/test/create packages for other versions as I don't have any other installed. Please see the open issue on github.

Thanks👌

Yeah, I only had 10.3 installed at that time.

I have now installed it and will prepare a package for 10.2 and fix the code.
