I'm converting C to Delphi and this is a function I have trouble with

procedure GetSomethingBackInNewHeader(ppNewHeader: PPChar; var rNewHeaderSize: DWORD)

Given some strings inside this proc, how would a put them in ppNewHeader, then reference them outsize of the proc as strings again?

As you may understand I'm not a pChar hero and use Strings as much as possible.
(Ignore ANSI/wide for the time being)
(Changing the procedure params is not an option)

I understand a PPChar can be interpreted as an array of PChar (given the way C usually just increments pointers), but can't get it work yet.

Thanks
Jan
