Source position: lazutilities.pas line 39

function CreateFirstIdentifier(

const Identifier: string

):string;

Identifier

Name for an identifier used as the base name in the generated value.

First identifier name for the value specified in Identifier.

CreateFirstIdentifier removes any numeric characters found at the end of Identifier, and replaces them with the value '1'.

For example:

AIdent := CreateFirstIdentifier('Edit9');
// AIdent = 'Edit1'

CreateFirstIdentifier is used to implement code macros, key mappings, and menu items in the Lazarus IDE.

Use CreateNextIdentifier to get the next name for a specified identifier value.

Added in LazUtils version 4.0. Replaces the CreateFirstIdentifier routine in the lclproc.pas unit (LCL).
