Is there any way to get direct access to a buffer in a string class

terminated string into it. I want to assign this string to a nsCString
which is returned from the interface. The easiest way would be to
request the string to have the max size buffer, write the data

The "proper" way is to allocate the buffer and fill it, then use the ns[C]String .Adopt() member function. The ns[C]String class then owns the buffer and will deallocate it when deleted.
