var
    a: array of someType;
...

SetLength(a, someinteger);

and there's a way to preserve the contents. Check 'dynamic array'
in online help What's New?

Yes, but it's not necessary. Simply select each item with it's index
eg, a[i] is the i-th value (0-based).

Check out the currently active thread "Pointer-Problem".  I think It will
answer all your questions.

Bob Lee

In C the array operators allow blocks of memory to addressed as arays of
whatever type you like. Is the same possible in Delphi? or do I need to use
variants to achieve dynamic array sizing?

Also is pointer arithmetic with pointers to types other than char possible?

Cheers
