Adding spaces to text field.

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I know this should be simple, but I can't figure it out.
I'm using Delphi and QPDF 7.15.

I want to simply add spaces to a text string.  Everything I try simply gets ignored and the string is formatted with only 1 space.  Example:
'Hello World            ' + 'Nothing to say'

Shows up as:
Hello World Nothing to say

I have tried the Chr(20), concatenating spaces in fields and still just 1 space.

Any help would be appreciated.

	You could try the "other" space: Chr(160). Perhaps this works.
