Hi, I manipulate with strings in my application such as storing/reading to/from binary files. And I need to convert a string to/from array of bytes. What is the best way of doing it in Vala?
Looking into string class http://valadoc.org/glib-2.0/string.html I see a method called string#to_utf8() that converts string to array of chars. But I cannot find any other methods. So I have 2 questions: - How to convert a string to array of chars in encoding different from UTF8. Something like this one http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#getBytes(java.nio.charset.Charset) - How to convert array of chars/uint8 back to string? Like this one http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#String(byte[], java.nio.charset.Charset) _______________________________________________ vala-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/vala-list
