Insert TAB into the string.
A string = '12xcvfgr12dfgfrtfgg12werd
I need to insert a TAB before '12' in the string except the first '12'.
Resulting string = '12xcvfgr(TAB)12dfgfrtfgg(
I need the source code, thank you!

There is a bug in my previous code ;-)
Here is the tested version:
function ProcessString(src: string): string;
var i: integer;
begin
Delete(src, 1, 2);
Result := '12';
while True do begin
i := Pos('12', src);
if i = 0 then break;
Result := Result + Copy(src, 1, i - 1) + #9 + '12';
Delete(src, 1, i + 1);
end;
Result := Result + src;
end;

Result := Result + src;
end;
You don't need the '+' between a constant string within ' ' and a #9.
'First part'#9'Second Part' would also be all right. (You might prefer to leave the + for readability though...)

>'First part'#9'Second Part'
It's not readable from my point of view.

The definition for "readability" is such an elusive one... <sigh>
IMHO it might be preferable to skip the '+' when you have a lot of #xxx chars and too many '+' would make the string unconfortably long. (Besides, if you put a lot of #xxx in a string, it's already a hieroglyphic, so who cares any more about readability anyway...) =)
Also, things like 'First line' + #13#10 + 'Second line' should be considered -again, IMHO- preferable to 'First line' + #13 + #10 + 'Second line'.
But I do agree it is normally preferable to leave the '+'.
