Reads a string of length Count
Source position: classesh.inc line 1110
public function TStringStream.ReadString(  | 
Count: LongInt  | 
):string;  | 
ReadString reads Count bytes from the stream and returns the read bytes as a string. If less than Count bytes were available, the string has as many characters as bytes could be read.
The ReadString method is a wrapper around the Read method. It does not do the same string as the TStream.ReadAnsiString method, which first reads a length integer to determine the length of the string to be read.
