: If I have a String var length = 1, how I can transform it in a Char ???
-------

Let's look at the following example:

var
   S: string;
   C: char;
   i: integer;

" String" is in fact short for "string of characters". Or the reverse, a "char" variable can be seen as a part of a string. To get the char at a certain postion:

  C := S[i]; // gives character at position i

So, if you have a string with a length of just 1 (such as "a" or "b") you can convert as follows to a char:

C := S[1];
