[simpits-tech] OT: Delphi Record problems

[Stig Joergensen]

Sorry for the OT, but i have a problem i Delphi, and some of you might
know the answer




I have a problem with record that i for the life of me can not get a
handle on:

say i have a file that are organized like this


0000000100000001abcdefgh0000000311111111222222223333333300000000........
.



i have create a record that match the above 

TMYRec = packed record
  type : integer;
  size : integer;
  name : array[0..7] of char
  count : integer;
  numbers : array of integer
  state : integer;
...
...
...
end;

myrec : TMyRec;

so i set the size of "numbers" to the "count", one would hope that the
sizeof(MyRec) would reflect the change, but this is not the case, which
leaves me to beleave that the "numbers" is just a pointer....

any idea how i can expand the "numbers" at runtime to reflect the
content of the file?
