When creating a string from a ubyte[], I have an invalid length
and string.strip() doesn't strip off all whitespace. I'm new to
the language. Is this a compiler issue?
import std.string : strip;
import std.stdio : writefln;
int main()
{
const string ATA_STR = ATA ;
// this works

// This is where things breaks
{
ubyte[] buff = new ubyte[16];
buff[0..ATA_STR.length] = cast(ubyte[])(ATA_STR);
// read the string back from the buffer, stripping
whitespace
string stringFromBuffer
You fill first few chars with data from
ATA_STR but the rest 10 bytes of the array are still part of
the string
Edit: you fill first 5 chars and have 11 bytes of zeroes in the
tail. My counting skill is too bad. ;)
