Is it possible do Declare a constant array that includes another constant array?

Question

I want to do something like this:

const

  MyFirstConstArray: array[0..1] of string = (\'Hi\', \'Foo\');
  MySecondConstArrayWhichIncludesTheFirstOne: array[0..2         


        

Answer 1

AFAIK, you can't do that.
But if the goal is to ensure you declare your actual constant string only once, I suggest you declare the individual strings and then group them in arrays:

const
  MyConst1 = 'Hi';
  MyConst2 = 'Foo';
  MyConst3 = 'Bar';
  MyFirstConstArray: array[0..1] of string = (MyConst1, MyConst2);
  MySecondConstArrayWhichIncludesTheFirstOne: array[0..2] of string = 
    (MyConst1, MyConst2, MyConst3);

BTW, your syntax is incorrect, you have to precise the type of the array elements.
