[NSString initWithBytes length encoding]
Returns an initialized
NSString object containing a given number of bytes from a given buffer of bytes interpreted in a given encoding.
- (id)initWithBytes:(const void *)bytes length:(NSUInteger)length encoding:(NSStringEncoding)encoding
Parameters of [NSString initWithBytes length encoding]
- bytes
- A buffer of bytes interpreted in the encoding specified by encoding.
- length
- The number of bytes to use from bytes.
- encoding
- The character encoding applied to bytes.
Return Value of [NSString initWithBytes length encoding]
An initialized
NSString object containing length bytes from bytes interpreted using the encoding encoding. The returned object may be different from the original receiver.
Example of [NSString initWithBytes length encoding]
@interface NSString (stringWithBytes)
+ (NSString*)stringWithBytes:(const void *)bytes length:(NSUInteger)length encoding:(NSStringEncoding)encoding;
@end
@implementation NSString (stringWithBytes)
+ (NSString*)stringWithBytes:(const void *)bytes length:(NSUInteger)length encoding:(NSStringEncoding)encoding {
NSString * aString = [[NSString alloc] initWithBytes:bytes length:length encoding:encoding];
return [aString autorelease];
}
@end
Example of [NSString initWithBytes length encoding]

NSString *string = [[[NSString alloc] initWithBytes:c_string
length:strlen(c_string)
encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding] autorelease];
assert([string length] == strlen(c_string)); // only valid for ASCII
