Variables and Strings

I am sure Ive resolved this one a generation ago but now the blinds are
drawn.
I have a series of editboxes and want to refer to the data in them in a loop
at run time, thus:

s:= ((editbox11)+ '.text')

But I dont want the string s to contain editbox11.text but the data in
editbox11.text.
I am sure I ve done this before but the minds a blank. Anybody else know the
feeling?

wouldn't this be s:= (editbox11 as TEdit).text?

s := (aForm.FindComponent ('Edit' + IntToStr (i)) as tEdit).Text;
