According to Frank Heckenbach:

Is there a way to change a string's length directly?

AFAIK, there isn't. Use the `SubStr' function (like BP's `copy' function) to shorten a string, and the `+' operator to make it longer.

And of course you can take a pointer to the string, cast it to a pointer to a record the fields of which you can manipulate like you wish ...

BTW: Are the TP string routines (e.g. Insert, Delete) already ported to gpc?

The African Chief is working on this. (-: It will probably be released soon.
