System Unit
Sets the contents and length of the given string.
Declaration:
procedure SetString(var S: string; Buffer: PChar; Len: DWORD);
Remarks:
The SetString sets the length indicator character
(the character at S[0]) to the value given by Len and then,
if the Buffer parameter is not nil,
copies Len characters from Buffer
into the string starting at S[1]. For a short
string variable, the Len parameter must be
a value between 0 and 255.
