Empty String Check

[Other Languages] 

Languages Focus

An empty string is a zero length string, a string that is equal to null (""), or not assigned. In some languages, you can check if a string is empty by comparing it to an empty string (""). Some languages distinguish between nil and null ("") so checking if the length is 0 is easier.

Delphi Prism:   length

In Prism, a string can be nil (unassigned), assigned an empty string (""), or assigned a value.  Therefore, to check if a string is empty, you have to check against both nil and (""). Alternatively, you can check the length of the string or use String.IsNullOrEmpty.

Syntax Example:
var s: String; 
 
if (s = nil) or (s = '') then
  MessageBox.Show("empty string");

or use length:

if length(s) = 0 then
  MessageBox.Show("empty string");
