# TStream.WriteAnsiString

Write an ansistring to the stream.

## Declaration

`public procedure TStream.WriteAnsiString(`
`S: String`
`);`

## Description

WriteAnsiString writes the AnsiString S (i.e. 4 bytes) to the stream. This is a utility function which simply calls the Write function. The ansistring is written as a 4 byte length specifier, followed by the ansistring's content. The ansistring can be read from the stream using the ReadAnsiString function.

## Errors

If an error occurs when attempting to write, an EStreamError exception will be raised.
