Any chance you could post a description of what it's meant to do in
English, rather than in Delphi? I suspect not many readers know Delphi
(I don't) and although we could guess what's wanted, describing it in
words may well suggest a better approach.

I mean, it *looks* like it's trying to skip 'v' characters at the start
of the line, skip the next 7 characters, then take everything up to the
next quote. Frankly, that sounds like the job for a regular expression
rather than a translation of the Delphi code. Does that description
sound correct to you? If so, could you include some sample test strings
(input and desired output) so we could try to get a working solution
for you quickly?
