hah! clever jim that, nice idea of cutting it all before the :<br />
<br />
it works, but how would i work it into a better output. Instead of showing messages.<br />
i want to do the following:<br />
<br />
DBitem.Text := Memo1.Lines.Strings[3];<br />
<br />
The actual item/number: is online 3. I want to put it into DBitem.text

Look for increased memory for large projects, extended multi-monitor support, improved Object Inspector and much more. Delphi is 5x faster for development and deployment across multiple desktop, mobile, cloud and database platforms including 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 10.

Delphi

Pascal is an influential imperative and procedural programming language, largely (but not exclusively) intended to teach students structured programming and data structuring. Pasca was implemented on a wide range of architectures, from early PCs to mainframes. Pascal derivatives include OOP-based Object Pascal (used in Delphi and Lazarus/Free Pascal). Pascal is a purely procedural language and includes control statements with reserved words, but has many data structuring facilities and other abstractions like type definitions, records, pointers, enumerations, and sets.
