# TStrings.Text

Contents of the list as one big string.

## Declaration

`public property TStrings.Text: String read GetTextStr write SetTextStr;`

## Description

Text returns, when read, the contents of the stringlist as one big string consisting of all strings in the list, separated by an end-of-line marker. When this property is set, the string will be cut into smaller strings, based on the positions of end-of-line markers in the string. Any previous content of the stringlist will be lost.

Remark: | If any of the strings in the list contains an end-of-line marker, then the resulting string will appear to contain more strings than actually present in the list. To avoid this ambiguity, use the TStrings.CommaText property instead.
