Hi experts, 
 
I have a problem with this procedure: 
 
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject); 
var 
&nbsp; listitembuffer,colourbuffer: string; 
&nbsp; sl: tstringlist; 
begin 
&nbsp; listitembuffer:=sl.strings[i]; 
&nbsp; colourbuffer:=colourbuffer+listitembuffer; 
&nbsp; colourbuffer:=TrimColour(colourbuffer); 
&nbsp; edit1.text:=colourbuffer; 
end; 
 
The prototype of TrimColour is declared as: 
 
&nbsp;procedure TrimColour(var master: string); 
 
Unfortunately, in the line 
 
colourbuffer:=TrimColour(colourbuffer); 
 
 
Delphi says: 
 
&quot;incompatible types &quot;string&quot; and &quot;procedure&quot;, untyped pointer or untyped parameter.&quot; 
 
 
Can you please tell me, why this line is not correct? 
 
What must I do in order to copy the result of TrimColour to colourbuffer ? 
 
With kind regards

Hi experts,

I have a problem with this procedure:

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
  listitembuffer,colourbuffer: string;
  sl: tstringlist;
begin
  listitembuffer:=sl.strings[i];
  colourbuffer:=colourbuffer+listitembuffer;
  colourbuffer:=TrimColour(colourbuffer);
  edit1.text:=colourbuffer;
end; 

The prototype of TrimColour is declared as:

 procedure TrimColour(var master: string);

Unfortunately, in the line

colourbuffer:=TrimColour(colourbuffer);


Delphi says:

"incompatible types "string" and "procedure", untyped pointer or untyped parameter."


Can you please tell me, why this line is not correct?

What must I do in order to copy the result of TrimColour to colourbuffer ?

With kind regards
