How to convert UTF-8 byte[] to string?
13 answers
I created a byte array with two strings. How do I convert a byte array to strings?
var binWriter = new BinaryWriter(new MemoryStream());
binWriter.Write(\"value1\");
binWriter.Write(\"value2\");
binWriter.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
byte[] result = reader.ReadBytes((int)binWriter.BaseStream.Length);
I want to convert result
to strings. I can do it using BinaryReader
. But I can not use BinaryReader
(it does not supported).
Depending on the encoding you wish to use:
var str = System.Text.Encoding.Default.GetString(result);
Assuming that you are using UTF-8 encoding:
string convert = \"This is the string to be converted\";
// From string to byte array
byte[] buffer = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(convert);
// From byte array to string
string s = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
You can do it without dealing with encoding by using BlockCopy:
char[] chars = new char[bytes.Length / sizeof(char)];
System.Buffer.BlockCopy(bytes, 0, chars, 0, bytes.Length);
string str = new string(chars);
To convert the byte[] to string[], simply use the below line.
byte[] fileData; // Some byte array
//Convert byte[] to string[]
var table = (Encoding.Default.GetString(
fileData,
0,
fileData.Length - 1)).Split(new string[] { \"\\r\\n\", \"\\r\", \"\\n\" },
StringSplitOptions.None);
An alternative option is:
string convert = \"This is the string to be converted\";
convert.CopyTo(0, buffer, 0, convert.length);
See String.CopyTo (MSDN).
