Adding lines to TMemo / RichEdit

'lo people,

This one had me going for a while and i couldnt figure it out.
How do add text to Memo or RichEdit? the answer is ez.
Memo1.Lines.Add(DBRichEdit1.Text), and now the text in DBRichEdit, is added
to Memo1, but the trouble is: it gives a hard-return, and then adds the
text. So if Memo1 had sumtin like this in it's lines.strings:

"Dear "

This is what would be the case after i've added sumtin from DBRichEdit (or
nething else)

"Dear
Danny"

In case you didnt notice yet. I don't want this. I want it to be like this:

"Dear Danny"

But how do i do this???
Ne help will be grately appreciated.

Take a look at the properties SelStart and SelText.

Just concatenate the Text of the two controls after deleting the last two
characters (CR and LF) of  Memo1.Text :-

  with Memo1 do
    Text := Copy(Text, 1, Length(Text) - 2) + ' ' + RichEdit1.Text;
