public
function ReadString(Count: LongInt) : string;
Description
ReadString reads Count bytes from the stream and returns the read bytes as a string. If less than Count bytes were available, the string has as many characters as bytes could be read.
The ReadString method is a wrapper around the Read]() method. It does not do the same string as the TStream.ReadAnsiString method, which first reads a length integer to determine the length of the string to be read.
