I haven't worked in C, but my impression is that it doesn't really
distinguish between a UInt8 and a Character. In Julia, you can convert your
string to a Vector{UInt8} and you should be able to work like you are used
to. This gist has one way to implement your algorithm: https://gist.github.com/ggggggggg/97451aad24996687ca754052082a239d > >
