System.StringOfChar Function

Returns a string with a specified number of repeating characters.

Pascal
function StringOfChar(ch: AnsiChar; Count: Integer): AnsiString; overload;
function StringOfChar(ch: WideChar; Count: Integer): UnicodeString; overload;
C++
AnsiString StringOfChar(AnsiChar ch, int Count);
UnicodeString StringOfChar(WideChar ch, int Count);

In Delphi code, StringOfChar returns a string containing Count characters with the character value given by Ch. For example, 

S := StringOfChar('A', 10); 

sets S to the string 'AAAAAAAAAA'. 

Note that StringOfChar returns the same type as ch: either an AnsiString or UnicodeString, so it works properly for both types.
