Since StrCat() itself calls Fromat(), you are calling Format() twice, once to format the string and then again to concatenate it to the big string, which also increases the amount of work done since it has to physically copy the new string to the end of the big string.

Using the method I posted, Format is only called once to tack the new string onto the end of the existing big string. It also avoids having to copy the contents of the new string to the end of the big string after formatting it, since it is already there.

Ok, thanks for the help.

Calm down. Didn't know that it is possible in Pawn to redefine a variable inside a loop.
But why are you allocating space again and again, instead of defining len before?

I believe Pawn is smart enough to allocate the memory only once. I still define my variables outside of loops as well, though. Better practice for other languages that aren't so forgiving.

I'm pretty sure it would reallocate it every time unless it was defined as 'static'.
