I'm trying to update one of my scripts to use the Unicode version of Inno Setup. Unfortunately I'm running into a problem where StringChangeEx
is expecting to see a unicode String
instead of the AnsiString
that I need (mismatched type). Is there an alternate way to replace matching AnsiString
from Unicode Inno Setup?
I'm using WizardDirValue()
to avoid having to type ExpandConstant('{app}\')
all the time, in case anyone wonders why.
var
AnsiData: AnsiString;
begin
LoadStringFromFile(WizardDirValue() + '\legacyansi.conf', AnsiData)
// Type mismatch, StringChangeEx expects String which is Unicode
StringChangeEx(AnsiData, 'current', 'replace', True);
SaveStringToFile(WizardDirValue() + '\legacyansi.conf', AnsiData)
end;
Since parameters of
LoadStringFromFile
as well as ofStringChangeEx
functions are declared, they expect the exact type to be passed, so there's not much to do with it. You will need just to declare another variable just for yourStringChangeEx
function call and typecast between ANSI & Unicode string types:Annoying, isn't it ?
