Compiled string values

Perhaps "resourcestring" will help?

I don't remember what version of Delphi they first appeared, but sounds like
it would suite your needs.

From the Delphi 2006 Help:

Resource strings are stored as resources and linked into the executable or
library so that they can be modified without recompiling the program.

Resource strings are declared like other true constants, except that the
word const is replaced by resourcestring. The expression to the right of the
= symbol must be a constant expression and must return a string value. For
example,
resourcestring
CreateError = 'Cannot create file %s';
OpenError = 'Cannot open file %s';
LineTooLong = 'Line too long';
ProductName = 'Borland Rocks';
SomeResourceString = SomeTrueConstant;

Hi everybody,

Anyone out there knows about a TStrings component I can use to store
updated string values in the compiled exe file, as opposed to saving
the strings in an external file? Any techniques, or workaround will be
appreciated. TIA.
