911: byte [] manipulation

[Martin]

HI all,
I am a newbie to C#....
I have a byte[] of variable length. Starting from byte[15] the array, i
have the following content in the array:

[username\0passw ord\0info\01234]

How can I extract those string from the byte[]?

Hope someone can give me some advice.

Thanks.

Martin

Re: byte [] manipulation

There are several ways to accomplish this. U can use StringBuilder to append
bytes u read from the array.

Or you can convert byte array to a string.
System.Text.Enc oding.Default.G etString method...

or too much solutions...

Re: byte [] manipulation

Hi,

you can use one of the XXXEncoding ( ASCIIEncoding , UTF8Encoding )
GetString method.

Re: byte [] manipulation

But since the string comes in at the 15 bytes of the array and end by a
\0...and the other string start right after the prior \0, how could i
effectively pass the content between those into a stringbuilder?

Re: byte [] manipulation

using System;
using System.Text;

namespace SampleApplicati on
{
class Test
{
static byte[] CreateByteArray ()
{
return
Encoding.Defaul t.GetBytes("012 345678901234use rname\0password \01234");
}
static void Main()
{
byte[] buffer = CreateByteArray ();
///
/// Username has a length at 8
///
Console.WriteLi ne(
Encoding.Defaul t.GetString(buf fer,15,8));
Console.WriteLi ne();

///
/// Or You Don't know length
///
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder() ;
int index = 15;
while(index<buf fer.Length)
{
if (buffer[index]=='\0' )
{
if (sb.Length>0)
{
Console.WriteLi ne(sb.ToString( ));
sb.Remove(0,sb. Length);
}
}
else
sb.Append((char )buffer[index]);
index++;
}
if (sb.Length>0)
Console.WriteLi ne(sb.ToString( ));
Console.Read();
}
}
}
