In this particular case, I would recommend to use .NET API:
>>> include System::IO
=> Object
>>> stream = FileStream.new("c:\\temp\\a.txt", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read)
=> System.IO.FileStream
>>> "".Append(stream, stream.Length)
=> "hello"

Subject: [Ironruby-core] byte[] to ruby string
Hello,
I'm struggling with converting a byte array into a ruby binary string.
Does anybody know how to make something like this pass?
require 'test/unit'
include System::IO
class Binstring < Test::Unit::TestCase
def test_binstring_bytea
fileName = 'flowers.jpg'
#Ruby way
data1 = File.read(fileName)
#.Net
fs = FileStream.new(fileName, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
br = BinaryReader.new(fs);
numBytes = FileInfo.new(fileName).Length;
buff = br.ReadBytes(numBytes);
data2 = System::Text::ASCIIEncoding.new.GetString(buff).to_s
assert data1 == data2
end
end
Regards,
Håkon
