String to TStream
delphi, string, tstream
Solution
AStream is declared as OUT parameter, which means it isn't assigned at the beginning of the procedure and the procedure is responsible to assign a proper value to it.
If I interpret your code correct, you should omit the OUT and make sure AStream is instantiated properly when you call the routine.
Some more code showing the call of StringToStream may give some more clues.
Problem
I'm attempting to convert a string to a TStream. My code below gives me an "Abstract Error" message on the CopyFrom line. I'm against a brick wall here, any ideas on how to solve this? ``` procedure StringToStream(const AString: string; out AStream: TStream); var SS: TStringStream; begin SS := TStringStream.Create(AString); try SS.Position := 0; AStream.CopyFrom(SS, SS.Size); //This is where the "Abstract Error" gets thrown finally SS.Free; end; end; ```
